Dashboards

Dashboards We think a pedalboard should be more than an afterthought. Dashboards are sleek, durable, dependable and affordable. http://www.dashboardsonline.com

Dashboards came into fruition out of my frustration with the current pedalboards available. I wanted something sleek, durable, easy to use and at a price I could afford. One day I decided to design my own and 8 months later the first Dashboard was born. As a professional guitar player, I spend a lot of time traveling with my board so I wanted something that would be durable and dependable. Dashboa

rds have a sleek, solid aluminum body. Second, I wanted something that was easy to set up on stage night after night. Dashboards have a built in side mount power receptacle and 3 neutrik jacks (3-pin XLR jacks optional). And of course you don’t want your pedalboard to embarrass your guitars so, Dashboards come in a charcoal grey metallic color with bright chrome handles and an illuminated logo on the front. Dashboards will be the answer to your pedalboard dreams. I’m very proud of it and I think you will be too. Sincerely,
Ashley Dasher

Part 6: Ready to Play. My new Dashboard setup is all finished. I've got everything routed to the side of the board. I plug my guitar into the side input jack and I have 2 amp outputs for either mono or stereo. The power jack is also on the side and connected to my generator power supply which is mounted underneath the board. I also have a buffer under the board (1st in signal path) and a gigrig isolator box with a phase switch for the stereo send. This gives me control over any phase issues (when using 2 amps) instead of having to rely on the sound guy. Feel free to post questions and comments below! We offer our wiring services to clients, but many of our clients do their own wiring and choose not to hardwire everything into the board as I've done here. This is a good idea if you switch pedals out a lot or like trying new things frequently. We have 2 -1 inch holes at the top of every board for wiring on top. These enable you to mount your power underneath and also still have access to the inputs and outputs in the side of the Dashboard.

Part 5: Cables. I'm using for this Dashboard. I've used them for many years and love them. I always meter the cables as I'm putting them together to make sure that the connections are solid and I always use the relief caps. I'm using the black caps for the main signal and the blue ones for the stereo signal. Up next I'll post the finished Dashboard!

Part 4: Drilling, Power, Mounting. At this point in the process I've marked and drilled the spots for power and cable. I then ran the power cables and cleaned up under the board. Now I'm putting the pedals back on before I start connecting the cables through the board. Gonna look sharp!

Happy yall. She smells like 1966, writes great melodies, and got a leather tooled pickguard at some point in her life. The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and the Stones were the biggest bands in the world when she was made.

Part 3: Layout // this is part of the fun of setting up a pedalboard. It's like Tetris or something...I'm using my old Dashboard as a guide to see how I want to line everything up before I move to the new one to mark/drill for the hard wired setup. In the process I've decided to simplify even more and not use the volume pedal. It's so interesting to me that at one time it was guitar > amp in rock n roll. In old live albums you can hear the band tuning to each other (through the PA) because there were no stomp box tuners. Now we have all of this great stuff to use in our efforts to cover more sonic space as guitar players...but using it sparingly can be such a good thing. Davinci said simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. That's been our mantra at Dashboards over the past few years and that's what I'm going for with this new setup. Feel free to post questions/comments below. Have a great weekend yall!!

Part 2: Pedals. I've got all the pedals that I'm going to be installing on my DB ready to go. Before drilling all the holes and finalizing the layout I'll walk you through the signal path. Guitar > Dashboard input > Buffer (under board) > Diamond Comp. > Keeley 808 Mod > Custom Shop fulldrive > Ernie Ball VP Jr (Tuner) > Fulltone Supatrem > Line6 DL4 (JHV3 tap input) > Boss DD5 (JHS analog mod) > Boss RV5 > side output 1. The stereo split will happen out of the DD5 and into the RV5. Then it'll go through a gigrig humdinger under the board making the second output isolated and having a phase switch. This will then hit output 2 on the side of the Dashboard. Up next will be the layout and drilling on the board itself.
