Good News: cleanest board ever

Bad News: fewest pedals on my board ever... maybe i need another one :D

 

+ lots of shiny little golden cables

 

fingers - TU2 - moog ring mod (courtesy of non dig tom) - Robotalk II - OC3 - AW3 - Make it louder - PH3 - TR2 - CE5 - RV3 - DD6 - PolyChorus - Deluxe Memory Man.

 

Im kind of annoyed that I couldnt fit my ad999 or some more pitch shifting on it but I guess I could always expand and get another, 64 inches of pedalboard may be too much though. Thoughts?

That was my biggest concern and believe me i tried for about 4 hours today. there is a little slot at the back that is perfect for the little power cable to run through and everything. If the pro was 2 cm higher it would clear with plenty of room but it isnt and the feet are riveted on so i cant take them off easily and add spacers. The pedal power makes it wobble because its about 3mm to tall to fit underneath easily.

 

There are several options that you could consider:

 

1. take a small carpet with you to put the pedaltrain on and the carpet will allow the difference in height to sink in

2. go through the work of cutting, grinding, and notching the frame and possibly welding on a bracket so the pedalpower can fit deeper into the tubing (closer to the top surface) and be better supported than i was trying to make it. This would void the warranty.

3. Suck it up and put the PP2 on top like I did

4. Take the feet off by cutting the rivets for the feet and add spacers before putting feet back on with sheet metal or machine screws after drilling and tapping the legs.

 

I didnt feel like doing all that work just to gain space for two pedals that may have been redundant. Try it though, any machine shop could do any of the above in less than a day.

I think its alot better than my big board was. I had a 20x40" board and the case for it wouldnt fit in most cars. It was too big to be useful and too heavy to move around easily. If you need huge I'd go with two smaller boards that you could actually use rather than a huge one that wouldnt be any good for actual gigging.

Great looking board! That sucks that the PP2 won't fit underneath. That was one of the things I liked so much about the Boneyard.... plenty of room underneath for the PP2. I have two of them mounted under my Boneyard with room to spare.

Oh theres definitly a hassle. It wouldnt be hard to fix, it would just require some work. Nyc boards are cool but the whore carpet covered thing blows. Their carpet tends to shred guitar as well after a year or so.

 

 

Thanks for the input. I have to think about it for a bit. Right now, if I got a Pedal Train it would be the Pedal Train 2, not the Pro as I don't want to really spend more than $200. Personally the whole putting velcro on the bottom of pedals thing doesn't exactly appeal to me although there appears to be few alternatives.

Well, I don't know. I guess I'm just kinda weird. I don't mind putting it on my Boss pedals but I have trouble putting it on my ADA Flanger for example. That said, seeing that you have no distortion pedal, what amp do you use----Engl Savage, Mesa Mark IV, Bogner Shiva, VHT Ultralead?

Here`s a thread and some pics on how to mod the Pedaltrain Pro board for the PP2 to fit underneath.

 

Btw. the Pro board will be available later this year with a gig bag for those who want it without the heavy flight case.
