This is full of pedals and has been my main storage soultion. But I've also got a wide swath of floor covered with pedals, and a couple racks i built are full now too. Plus my pool table is littered with pedals, there are literally pedals everywhere in part of my basement :lol: I would be fucked if my basement flooded again :eek: I'm to the point where I'm going to be slowing down on purchasing pedals and I'll need to build a couple more racks to stack boxed pedals on. :joy:

Thanks Syl - it's pretty practical. It's just an Ikea Billy bookshelf, but I've turned each shelf into a pedalboard. I put handles on them, filed down the sides so that I could get them out (the doors don't sit flush), and put some brackets under where the shelves sit as they weren't as stable after I filed down the sides. Got each one wired up with a 1-spot daisy chain, so when i want to jam I just pull out a shelf and plug it into a 1-spot and the amp. It's fun making different boards, and it makes all of the collection useable.

EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Once I've decided to keep it, boxes go in the trash.

I keep the boxes on the highest shelf in a cupboard. Don't mind not having immediate access to them. I have my pedals in my music corner in a crate.

Some of my first pedals, yeah, but no. God no. I have a box in the basement with all of the boxes.
