Pedal storage (show your cupboards!)

Post by Obulus »

Title tells it all! I'm moving into a new place and I want to finally find a decent way to keep my pedal stash. Right now they're all just scattered around on a shelf in the rehearsal space. How are you guys storing yours? Ideally, I'd like the following characteristics:
- Cheap
- Easy on the eye
- Room for a lot of pedlols (I have about 50 now, but that number will grow without a doubt)
- ??? What should I be looking for

Just show me your solutions!

I keep a half dozen not on the board on my desk, and the rest are in a couple milk crates near me. Not "pretty" but cheap and easily accessible in cripple-land.

There's a box of 20 or so in the closet plus non-typical multis and spare rack units on shelves that were built-in in the pantry.

Who needs canned goods when you have Toanzes?

My pedalboard costs approximately 191 Metal Zones.

I know its not as fancy as UG's, or even Sylnau's, but here's what I used to move my pedals:
Image

I got it my first year in college and never got rid of it. That was from my first move, and I literally just unpacked all my pedals from my second so nothing's going back in. But basically I put all my pedals in boxes as best I can, tape the drawers up and it's good to go!

I'm too lazy to take a photo, but all my pedals are either on the floor or on my formerly empty CD racks.

(All my CDs are in storage... and I still need to drop over half of 'em into iTunes. :facepalm: )

Yeah, one's on the floor and the other's in a box (on the floor).

I really haven't been playing 'em. When I want something that does that, I've been using an ARC Klone. (The ARC Klone is close, but doesn't quite get there though.)
