Ibanez Soundtank Effects Pedal Board

Next up is the Ibanez SoundTank Pedal Board design. I refined the layout so that more flexibility is available.  Instead of the rectangular back to back design, I arched the sections which works better for live performance.  Same setup as before, sketch, layout, drill paint & mount.  I found these Dinosaur Power supply’s that work great for this application and bought them new for $20 on eBay. The SoundTank series is very similar to the Arion line but they all seem to have very unique sounds which make sense when having so many. The pedals themselves are very cheap used. I split the board sides to have distortion on one half with a bolting back to back design. When side by side a magnet holds them together.

The most likely component to fail on these vintage units is the momentary switch under the pedal. It is an easy replacement and switches can be found online in various locations
