Using Layers

Certain boards support layers, which let you organize and view components on multiple levels of the board. When layers are available, use the layer switcher to move between them and place pedals or power supplies on different layers.

Toggle Layers

When a board has layers, a layer switcher appears in the bottom-right of the pedalboard builder's canvas, with a button for each layer (for example "Base" and "Tier"). Click a layer to view and edit it.

The active layer is highlighted in the layer switcher. The sidebar also groups pedals and power supplies by their layer, with a dot next to the active layer, so you can easily see which items are on which layer.

When you add an item to your pedalboard, it will be assigned to the currently active layer. For instance, if the upper tier of a board is active, any pedal you add will be considered part of the upper tier.

Switch Between Layers

You can move an item to a different layer by right clicking the item (or double tapping on mobile) and selecting the move option from the context menu, which names the layer it moves to (for example "Move to Base Layer"). You can also click the more options icon on the item's tile in the sidebar and select the same option.

Layers on a Custom Board

Custom boards support a single raised layer in addition to the base board. When adding or editing a custom board, turn on the Layer switch to stack a raised tier on top of the base.

Set the layer's width and height, pick its position on the base board from the position grid, and nudge it into place with the X and Y offsets. A live preview shows how the layer sits on the base as you make changes. Once the board is added, its layers appear in the layer switcher as "Base" and "Top".
