Description

Pedaltrain Metro 16: The perfect companion for the modern musician. This compact and portable pedalboard offers a versatile solution for those who need to save space without compromising on quality or functionality. Designed with an urban setting in mind, the Metro 16 is an ideal choice for musicians on the go, fitting comfortably into tight spaces while still offering ample room for your essential gear.

The Metro's three-rail system is a first for Pedaltrain, incorporating a unique modified rail system that accommodates even the smallest pedals. This rail system forms an incredibly strong bond with the pedalboard, ensuring your gear stays secure during performances. The Metro 16 is large enough to house most multi-effects units, giving musicians the flexibility to create their unique sound.

Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum, the Metro 16 is featherweight yet durable, designed to withstand the rigors of life on the road. The included soft case has been redesigned with a heavy-duty metal zipper and reinforced stress points to provide extra protection and longevity.

Key Features:

  • Three-rail pedalboard system for maximum versatility and efficient use of space
  • Strong bond with pedals, thanks to the modified rail system
  • Portable and lightweight, made from aircraft-grade aluminum

Not too big, not too small

I love this thing! I only use about four or five pedals so it's perfect for my needs.

Brilliant piece of kit

Incredibly useful and portable, allowing it to be take to any gig fairly easily and slammed down, plugged in and played the crap out of.

It's small, it's light and it is solid. Perfect!
