Hey there, I spend lot of time to find the right pedalboard due to lot but also specific pedals I owned in a Wet-Dry-Wet configuration. Also, i wanted to put 2 reverbs pedals with the electronic at pedal format on top for the board and a separate real srings tanks under the board. To calculate the size i need the Pedalboard app was actually helpfull cause bunch of the pedalboards weren't with the right size like having a useless row (at least, in my case), too small or too big. And this is how i could put: - on the top: 13 pedals with differents size - Bellow : 2 real srings reverb tanks, one Strymon Zuma, and one strymon Ojaj On the quality side, the pedalboard on itself in awesome but the velcro are quite poor (this is why i put "only" 4 stars at quality). I fix that point...

I have 5 regular hardcase DUO pedalboards and this was my first Tour Case Duo purchase. SUPER sturdy, I have no worries throwing this into the tour van, bus or my car... well, except for maybe damaging what's already in there, not this pedalboard itself! The hinges are open-mount so the cover comes off - this surprised me at first (as I am used to the regular DUO hardcases) and I haven't found a use for this option yet. The board itself has plenty of holes for patch cables and I didn't need to drill any holes to mount the Cioks DC5 underneath, just tightened the screws into the edges of the holes and - done! Plenty of space underneath for cables. Light, durable.

I used Harley Benton spaceship 80 for a few years and it was fine. Recently I acquired a switcher (Boss ES-8) and few more pedals and suddenly that board became too small for my collection of pedals and its case offered very little protection for the expensive equipment. Although I knew that this board and its case are heavy, I was surprised how heavy they are when they arrived, especially when I attached all pedals and cables. Case has the wheels so one person can drive it on a flat surface, but it is too heavy for one person to handle it on the stairs. It is even difficult for me alone to put it in the car trunk. I guess you have to deal with the heaviness if you want all that pedals, and it is the only real complaint. Everything else about it is excellent. The board is large enough for...

This is a great pedal board if you keep it relatively simple and only use a few pedals. I've easily fit 5 standard size pedals on it. It may be more pricey than some of the alternatives but the fact that its made of one piece of folded metal creates extra real estate under the board for power source and cables etc. On a lot of the cheaper alternative small pedal boards there can be a real issue with space beneath the board. So, for me, it was worth paying the extra for a sturdy, good quality board, with enough space beneath to keep cabling and power tidy!

My main goal, when i was choosing for a pedal board was that it should be compact enough, so i can carry it by hand, and big enough to fit most of my pedals, previously i used Warwick's biggest aluminium hard case. Pedal train classic 2 was the way to go for me. Straight out of the box, the soft case feels very durable, fabric is nice and thick, and the zipper is very heavy duty. The case also comes with a shoulder strap. The board it self is made out of aluminium, therefore it is light. There is enough Velcro for all the board, and also comes with zip ties, so the cables could be zipped safely. Construction wise it is a genius unit, because of the rails, you can run all your cables thru the pedal board, and by that keep a neat and clean look, also its safer when you dont step on your...

Spent a couple of months on pedalboardplanner.com trying to decide on which model to get. Initially I ordered a Pedaltrain Classic PRO SC with a softcase - but I returned this. Decided that risking expensive pedals isnt worth it and hardcase was the way to go. I also felt this size board was pretty large and might be a tight squeeze on small stages, and a much bigger hard case size for my trolley. I'm not so sure I made the correct decision on this front. I own a Strymon Mobius & Big Sky along with a MoogerFooger MidiMurf and even with just 3 pedals on the boards things get pretty cramped pretty quick. The MoogerFooger is also a tall pedal and really compresses the foam when place at the top of the board in the case, so for me lower down the board is a much better option which...

Got this as my first pedalboard and I must say that the quality of this pedalboard is excellent. The board itself is light and durable, the gigbag is well made and reliable fot traveling to gigs. The only con for me was that that with TC Electronic nova system on board you can't close the gigbag, but that's my fault for not getting the height measurement right at the first place. So if you want to put a multi-fx unit on this board, you should carefully measure the total height of board + multi-fx. Other than that it's a great unit.

As soon as I took this pedalboard out of it's case, I knew it was perfect for what I needed. I'm been building a compact board for gigs with my band and with the way the current industry is, I knew I couldn't justify an enormous board with 20 pedals travelling in a a tiny car to a small venue. So after picking out the minimum pedals I needed, I measured up all of them and noted I need some exactly 600mm across. I did look at some cheaper boards at first, with the intension of keeping costs down. But when I went to order my first choice, I saw that it was sold out. Knowing that I couldn't wait long enough to get that board with a looming gig date, I decided to spend the extra money and buy the Pedaltrain. Once the board arrived I could feel where the extra money went. This board weighs...

This is a great pedalboard made by the best manufacturer of pedalboards on the market right now! I like the Novo range as the pedalboard bars are closer together so your pedals get better connection to the board. There is plenty of space on the board for the semi pro/professional musician but it still feels reasonably portable and not quite as huge and OTT as the Pedaltrain Classic Pro. I have installed a Powertrain 1250 power supply underneath (which was fiddly and required drilling holes), but now all looks neat and tidy. I am running a Carl Martin Octaswitch 2 along with 9 other pedals, and there was plenty of room. The new improved soft case gives better protection than the previous version and is fairly lightweight (which was why I bought this rather than the hardcase version)....
