If you’re like most pedalboard owners, it’s a Tetris-level accomplishment to fit your gear on one rig. “What should I do with all this extra board space?” said no one ever.

While we can’t tell you which of your 10 fuzz pedals is your top dog, there are several things we can do to better use the footprint you’ve got. One way is to rehouse space hogs like amp control switches. Recently, we rehoused a Redplate amp controller and Strymon favorite switch into one much smaller box.

Redplate amp control switcher, aftermarket Strymon favorite switch, and new box.
