An effect support board for mounting a guitar effect above an area, the guitar effect including a bottom surface and an adapter for connection to a cable, the adapter located on an end of the guitar effect, the effect support board comprising:
- an effect mounting surface adapted to mount a guitar effect, the effect mounting surface defining a cable connection opening adapted to allow the cable to pass from beneath the effect mounting surface for connection to the guitar effect on top of the effect mounting surface, the cable connection opening positioned as an end connection opening adapted to allow for direct connection of the cable to the adapter on the end of the guitar effect;
- and
- a frame coupled to the effect mounting surface and adapted to support the effect mounting surface.
An effect support board for mounting a guitar effect above an area, the guitar effect including a bottom surface and an adapter for connection to a cable, the adapter located on a side of the guitar effect, the effect support board comprising:
- an effect mounting surface adapted to mount a guitar effect, the effect mounting surface defining a cable connection opening adapted to allow the cable to pass from beneath the effect mounting surface for connection to the guitar effect on top of the effect mounting surface, the cable connection opening positioned as a side connection opening adapted to allow for direct connection of the cable to the adapter on the side of the guitar effect;
- and
- a frame coupled to the effect mounting surface and adapted to support the effect mounting surface.
An effect support board for mounting a guitar effect above an area, the guitar effect including a bottom surface and an adapter for connection to a cable, the effect support board comprising:
- an effect mounting surface adapted to mount a guitar effect, the effect mounting surface defining a cable connection opening adapted to allow the cable to pass from beneath the effect mounting surface for connection to the guitar effect on top of the effect mounting surface, the effect mounting surface including a friction surface adapted to engage the bottom surface of the guitar effect to maintain the positioning of the guitar effect on the friction surface;
- and
- a frame coupled to the effect mounting surface and adapted to support the effect mounting surface.
A method of constructing an effect support board adapted to support a guitar effect with a bottom surface and an adapter for connection to a cable, the method comprising:
- providing at least two end members and at least two cross members, each cross member including an upper surface;
- rigidly connecting the end members and cross members such that the upper surface of the cross members form an effects mounting surface and define a cable connection opening in the effects mounting surface;
- and
- fixably positioning a friction increasing element on the effects mounting surface for engaging the bottom surface of the guitar effect.
An effect support board for mounting a guitar effect above an area, the guitar effect including a bottom surface and an adapter for connection to a cable, the effect support board comprising:
- a support structure;
- at least two top surface elements connected to the support structure, the top surface elements including leg extensions projecting from the rigid support structure such that the top surface elements define edges of a first cable connection opening;
- a third top surface element connected to the rigid support structure and including a third leg extension;
- and
- a forth top surface element connected to the rigid support structure and including a forth leg extension, the third top surface element and fourth top surface element defining edges of a second cable connection opening, wherein the top surface elements are aligned to form at least two rows of guitar effects.
An effect support board for mounting a guitar effect above an area, the guitar effect including a bottom surface and an adapter for connection to a cable, the effect support board comprising:
- a support structure;
- at least two top surface elements connected to the support structure, the top surface elements including leg extensions projecting from the rigid support structure such that the top surface elements define edges of a first cable connection opening;
- and
- a friction surface adapted to engage the bottom surface of the guitar effect to maintain the positioning of the guitar effect on the friction surface.
An effect support board for mounting a guitar effect above an area, the guitar effect including a bottom surface and an adapter for connection to a cable, the effect support board comprising:
- a support structure;
- at least two top surface elements connected to the support structure, the top surface elements including leg extensions projecting from the rigid support structure such that the top surface elements define edges of a first cable connection opening;
- and
- a frame base adapted to support the support structure above the surface to allow the cables to pass beneath the frame.
