Trimmer pedal bottom plates

I think it would be a good idea to make some bottom plates that fit the BJF pedals with holes in them for the trim.
I know that for most people its a set and forget but for me I use different amps for different gigs and rooms sound different.
I'm going to try to get some black bottoms and drill a couple out for the EGDM and once I get mt MHt, I'll do the same.
Any thoughts? I love easy access!

yup that would be useful .... especially if you change amps regularly .... only problem is I dont know anywhere that sells just bottoms

That is a great idea, especially for a pedal like the MH that gets tossed around all the time.

Hmmm.....maybe wood bottoms, plastic? Thick cardboard! If its on the board it dosen't really matter I guess. just a matter of getting to the trimmer and protecting the switch/insides. Thinking....my dad owns a machine shop...if we could get a little design I could see what he could do. He makes my chassis for the amps I build.

I'm sure you'll have plenty business from folks here if you could make replacement bottoms for BJFe pedals. I'd surely be interested :thumbup:

a 1590BB bottom fits and the whole enclosure is less than $10. I found it a small price to pay to keep the bottom of my HBOD minty fresh

Yea, I was thinking the same...just order a box, their cheap enough compaired to screwing up a BJF bottom. Paint it black, drill hole and your good to go.

Also, does anyone know what kind of bottom plates fit the larger MGMV / SBMV / HBOD Dlx pedals?
