Members allstarmatt Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 I've been slowly incorporating effects pedals into my setup, and now after playing quite a few gigs and getting annoyed at how long it takes me to set up, I'd like to invest in a decent pedal board. I'd just like a bit of advice on what I'm best getting. Here's my set up: Behringer TU100 TunerMarshall RG-1 ModulatorIbanez DE7 Delay/EchoRAT Deucetone Distortion I power all these with an AC-DC 9V think (except the RAT which I can't seem to connect but lives forever on a battery), so I could go for the option of a non-powered pedal board and somehow incorporate the power supply that I've got into it. OR I could ditch my power supply and get something powered... I don't really know which would be best - so any advice here would be great - as would any suggestions of recommended pedal boards. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pbone Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 Hey, welcome to the forums. Your best bet would probably be a Pedaltrain JR. It's small and fits all your pedals, and comes with a carrying case so you can bring it to your gigs. It's $100, which is a little expensive. Gator makes a case like that, but it's less expensive. Look on Zzounds.com. You could always make your own! That's the cheapest way to go. Then you can have whatever size you need. Keep the 9V, you don't need an isolated power thing like the DC brick. I use a 1-spot and it is great, and is about $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members christianatl Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 skb ps 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TechBrother Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 I own an SKB PS-45 and I've been very happy with that. It's probably a little big for your purposes but it's great if you plan on expanding your pedal setup in the future. If you play a lot of gigs I would suggest a board w/ a hard shell case.

Members Zoidberg Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 Here's one from Warwick that I've been considering: http://www.pedalspluseffectswarehouse.com/WARWICK_RockCase_Hard_Case_Pedal_Board_SM_p/war-rkcssm.htm 105$. I'd really like one of these for band-practices where I can't be bothered to lug my big pedalboard around. And it'd work out for gigs too, if you're not of the type that needs 12 pedals for gig. But, if you get this one, there's not much room for expanding your board, I guess. There is a bigger version of the Warwick-case too tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LedZep1985 Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 Check out www.nycpedalboards.com They have a wide variety of pedalboards, with different options that you can add to the boards. They're great for velcro, and protecting your pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ert Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 or make one. Total cost for case and carpet, wood, feet and edging came to $40 or $50 i think. Works perfect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ert Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 ^^ that looks pretty nice, but how do you tote it around? Do you have a case that it fits in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members allstarmatt Posted December 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 thats a pretty impressive board, but i think i'll go for something smaller. that warwick one that Zoidberg suggested seems about right for what i need - it'll fit about 5 pedals on, its a hard case so it'll be good for gigging, and i can use my own power supply with it. and plus its only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
