Pedalboard Layout

I hoped to replace PedalPlayground with this app because it’s been so buggy and locking up on my phone, plus every time I refresh because it locks up, I keep getting Temu ads. 🙄 But this app didn’t have SO many of the popular brands that so many people use. When I tried to use “custom” to upload a pic of my Morningstar ML5, the stock block size was accurate until I uploaded a pic. My ML5 is 6.5” wide, almost the same width as my BigSky at 6.75”. The superimposed pic made the ML5 look about 2” narrower than the BigSky. When I tried to augment to dimensions, they don’t change the pic size, but if you use the blank opaque box provided, the dimensions are proper. I wanted to like this app and paid the one time fee to buy it. But now, I guess I’m going back to a buggy PedalPlayground. Disappointing.

I wanted to love this app, because Pedalboard Planner from Pedaltrain is specific to their boards. But while this app has a good foundation, the database of manufacturers — both pedals and boards — needs a lot of updating. You can add a custom board, but it somehow doesn’t work that well. Plus, it doesn’t cover Voodoo Labs, Walrus Audio, or any number of other prominent and popular manufacturers. The lost is far from exhaustive or even current. It feels like a project that was off to a good start but they lost interest (or financing) in keeping it current. I hope they find the time and financial backing to keep it updated and complete. It has the potential to be great.

Great app but definitely needs more pedals. I’m trying to add pedals by some of the more popular companies but they aren’t in the list while many in the list are not so common. Also a way to contact developer for support would seem to be a prime needed feature.
