I’m a sucker for a good utility pedal…
A pedalboard timepiece is certainly the type of utility you’re likely to overlook, but that is immensely brilliant once you think about it. DS engineering used to make one that was really awesome and inexpensive, but they’re defunct now and they never pop up on reverb.

Vvco makes one that’s quite a bit more feature-packed, but is unfortunately quite bulky (and it’s being discontinued after the currently stocked units sell out)

Time Box

The Time Box The utility pedal you didn't know you needed until now. The time box was designed to solve the problem of not being able to keep track of time while playing. Remember all those gigs and the a-hole stage manager or sound tech is yelling at you because you are running out of time or...

It would be awesome if there was a diy option for something comparable to these, preferably for something between 1590G and 125B size (1590B would be ideal)

YES Joben, it must be multi-functional. I saw a dual-USB port to stick a little goose-neck lamp into it to light the pedalboard, footswitchable, and the other USB port always on for charging phone, tablet, pedals, whatever...

I've got a car cigarette-lighter adapter with two USB ports that I've been meaning to cram in a 1590A for the stomp-light/charger dealio, but haven't got around to it yet.


Ahhh pedalboard timers...

There was also the Züe Ontimer, which I liked because it was orange but thought it might need another couple of functions on it to warrant loosing a 1590BB-sized space on the pedalboard for a Clock/Stopwatch... a channel switcher or extra loop, buffer with phase inverter, a tuner... A stompable gooseneck lamp with another USB port for charging your iPAD...

With Züe, you could time your sets and breaks, countdowns with warnings and an alarm for the final get the $%^&* off the stage time... oh, and local time and date!

My idea of Nixies are tubes, comme ça:

I thought of having a Nixie clock for my all-tube board…

I think it'd be useful on the guitar itself. Next to a Nixie tube to identify the pickup position. And of course there'd be two more to show where the volume and tone knobs are set. And 6 more for the date, with a toggle switch to choose the date format. I'm a YYMMDD man myself.

This is so close to what I've always wanted, A RIFF COUNTER! Press it when you start your riff, and press it again when you get back to the 1 of the riff on the second time around. This starts the riff counter! Now each time you play it, the riff counter displays how many times you've played it. Then no more "wait was that 6 or 7?" or whatever
