Pedalboard

Hi guys,

I have currently been looking a pedalboards as I have run out of space on mine. I have a few choices and I would love some advice on which one to get. Here are my current ideas:

• http://www.pedaltrain.com/classic-pro/
• http://www.chemistrydesignwerks.com/holeyboard-wide.html
• https://creationmusiccompany.com/the-elevation-series-32x16/

I would go with the pedatrain just because I find the other ugly.

Why not get two pedalboards? You could have one for effects barely messed with and another board for all your volume and switching pedals.

Which one do you find ugly? There's actually 3 there it's just the addresses seemed to be merged. I like the idea of two boards, but I think it may be a pain taking boards places etc

Two boards means your signal chain is compromised without one. I currently run a prototype of a board approx this size. It puts you in the vicinity of 10-15 pedals. Mine is melamine and ply and you need to consider the weight of all of your pedals PLUS the weight of the board. The pedal train seems the best choice to me. The creation seems neat at the sides and I love contained jack plugs etc but the slots above limit positioning somewhat. The holey will not allow for cables under as not all jacks fit through the holes. Pedaltrain seems the best option for a large scale pedalboard.

Awesome, thanks so much for your help guys, just one final question, the hard case is 12kg which costs lot's to ship and is a bit of a pain, but is it worth it over the soft case? I take my board out about once a week but only in the back of a car so it doesn't get knocked around much.

I have a Russian Big Muff.. quite a tall pedal. Make sure a case will still fit with pedals on it.

Yeah they will, so do you reccomend hard if it fits?

I really do. Keeps them safe. If something drops on them in transit, even in the car and snaps a knob off, where are you then?

Australian site, but check those prices against local... http://www.swamp.net.au/?rf=kw&kw=swamp+pedal+board Large is same dimensions as the Classic Pro

Awesome thanks a lot

Thanks, but I already got the classic pro. I looks goodelicious though!

Congrats! Make sure to upload a pic of the completed board to your gear porn section of your equipboard. Keen to see it all done. (keep that pic a good size though, I tried to post large res pics, didn't work.

Haha okay, atm I don't have that many pedals (look on my page if you want to see) so the board looks kind of empty, but I have a plan of what I want to buy. I have a feeling that space will fill up pretty quickly...

They fill up quick enough. Good that you have thought ahead. I am thinking I might need to try the Swamp one... A guy who makes pool fences I know offered to make me a pedaltrain shaped board to my design that would be way cheaper than a pedaltrain, but when I showed him the Swamp and he saw the price... he laughed and pointed and said JUST BUY THAT! He said it was cheaper than what he could do it for. I just got 4 new pedals (for Christmas... who knew Santa was a roadie!) and so I have a major re design to do. They don't fit... and while it is excessive, I like my one stop board.

Ohh in wish Santa gave me guitar things ????????????

I like the Holyboard only because I have more zip-ties (being a electrician and all) and have more than a man can ever need and I don't like velcro. I made my own version for job supplies and rummage.

I used zip ties and Velcro on my board. The zip ties did not hold my pedals in place as tightly as I wished. I prefer the velcro also because I change my pedal order nearly every show.
