Members echodeluxe Posted August 18, 2012 Members Share Posted August 18, 2012 so, ive begun to outgrow my gorm, which is the smaller version. i want to get everything on one board (whammy and all) and i was wondering what you guys were using for larger pedalboard that have a carry case or a lid with a handle. i had an skb ps-45 or whatever years ago and i really liked it, but even used they are like, way up there in price. i dont wanna break the bank but if im gonna be spending $100+, i wanna get something solid that ill use for a long time. im looking for a pedalboard a'la Nels Clines. its a big board with aluminum valences that seems pretty good. dont know what the cost would be though. and none of those trailer trash etc boards with the lame cosmetics. just a plain ass one. thanks d00ds.

Members wrathchild1 Posted August 19, 2012 Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 the best cheapest big pedal board is the Gator pro. I use the pedaltrain pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted August 19, 2012 Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 I just ordered one of the Rondo heavy duty boards. They have 2 models currently that are still fairly priced, but have heavier hinges, etc. on them. For $72 plus s/h, hard to beat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members diocide Posted August 19, 2012 Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 Another thing to consider is gigging. If you're not playing out, get whatever you want. If you're going to be taking this thin around and beating on it, spend the extra money and get something quality. I always see used Pedaltrains on my local CL, so it's just a matter of finding one.

Members tronus Posted August 19, 2012 Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 That guitar center pedal train is pretty affordable and a decent size... The PT1 I think it's called? I also think I just read that they upgraded the cases to fancy recessed handle/flight case type as opposed to the plastic suitcase that I have.

Members conky Posted August 19, 2012 Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 I had a Pedalpad board before and loved it. Not the one with the metal plates in it but mine had 2 hinged pieces and I had room underneath for a power supply and any always on pedals that I wanted to run. Had tons of room and it was sturdy as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Danhedonia Posted August 19, 2012 Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 I have an SKB and really don't like it. Specifically, the weight and the closure system (those turn/clamps). I'd think hard about weight and space mgmt; I'd almost prefer two smalls to one big, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members echodeluxe Posted August 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 I'd almost prefer two smalls to one big, I think. good. {censored}ing. idea. two used pedaltrain minis or whatever they are called? excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members conky Posted August 19, 2012 Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 I dont think you'll be able to get a Whammy on a mini. You might be fine with two Jrs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orourke Posted August 19, 2012 Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 This guy built me a custom board over ten years ago and I'm still using it heavily.

Members Poltergeist Posted August 19, 2012 Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 i've been using a Gator Power Tote (large model) and it comes with EVERYTHING, and costs around 90 bucks. awesome deal, even the power supply is great and silent, never gave me any problems. comes with cables, velcro, bag, all that good stuff. yeah, it's not light, but i definitely think i paid less than i'd be happy to pay for something like this.

Members jnepo1 Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 I can build you a flat board if you like, any size. Sorry, no ATA cases though, but I can recommend an ATA builder in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
