I was kind of unsure where to put this question, so I thought that I would just put it here.
I am looking into buying a pedalboard to add to my keyboard setup so I can play the bass and keyboards at the same time. The problem is that ready-made pedalboards, such as the Hammond XK, cost thousands of dollars and get more expensive the more keys there are. After searching the internet, there have been numerous people who have stated that it is possible to make your own pedalboard. So far, the best I found was this: http://www.doepfer.de/MBP25.htm The problem is that this pedalboard is a kit that needs things like soldering and such to put together, which I can't do, plus it is from Europe somewhere and would have to ship it overseas (I think), and the pedals aren't really long enough to play the heel-toe technique. As far as other diy midis I have looked up, I have come short when looking for clear instructions on how this could be done and where I could buy the parts. Is there anywhere on the web that has clear, step by step, instructions on how to make a pedalboard that doesn't involve too much work involved (anything more than nails and screws, e.g. no soldering or wood-cutting)? I was thinking about a way to take an old Hammond 25-note pedalboard off of ebay and somehow combine it with a 25-note cheap keyboard, such as this: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/keyboards-midi/akai-professional-lpk25-laptop-performance-keyboard
but again, fell short in surfing the web. Any Help will be appreciated!!!
