The work starts with a dry layout. Pedals are placed, shuffled, and placed again until the footprint and the signal chain both make sense. Then come the cables. Many shops build solderless patch cables to length, which means measuring, cutting, stripping, and seating each plug, then testing continuity before it goes under the board. Power is run from the supply through isolated outputs, with current and polarity checked against each pedal. Velcro or Dual Lock holds everything down, and zip ties keep the underside from turning into a nest.
A head camera on the tech records their view of the layout as it changes and the close work of fitting plugs. Fixed cameras shoot the board from above and from the front edge so every placement and every cable run is visible. Sound is recorded, since the last step is always plugging in and listening for hum.
From a research standpoint this task is interesting because the goal state is loosely specified and the tech iterates toward it. We segment each build into layout, cable fabrication, power wiring, mounting, routing, and signal test. Labels are plain language. Episodes carry a success tag and note reworks, such as a cable that was too short or a pedal that moved after the first test. Object tracking is available for hands, pedals, plugs, and tools. Delivery is in whatever schema you already use, written to your storage.
All participants are consented and paid, and the footage is cleared for commercial training. We reply within 15 minutes during business hours, and samples arrive within a business day.
