Scientific fact: The shortest distance between two guitar effects is a custom-length patch cable.
If your cable routing resembles a rat’s nest and you’d like more space to squeeze another pedal onto your board, a DIY patch-cable kit can make quick work of a tidier existence. Here, we’ve rounded up 10 varying options to help you envision a more shipshape effects center.

The pedalboards are designed with two tiers: a flat bottom section and an angled top section.
North Hollywood, CA (May 4, 2017) -- For over 27 years the world’s top guitarists have relied on Dave Friedman for their pro touring effects rigs. From fancy, ultra-complex racks to simple pedal boards, Dave has built them all.
When it came time to design his own line of pedal boards, Dave used all his years of experience to ensure that the Friedman Tour Pro Series has everything a pro guitarist needs.
The made in USA Friedman Tour Pro Series pedal boards are designed with two tiers; a flat bottom section and an angled top section. This two-tier design gives the player instant, easy access to all pedals on the board, without using toe-extending ballerina dance moves to get to them. Also included is a detachable riser for wah and volume pedals which can be mounted in any location on the bottom tier (yes, we thought of left-footed guitar players too).
