Off Topic Pedal Boards

[Axemanbrill]

I'm running out of room on my pedal board...ok...ran OUT of room on my pedal board. Anyone have any suggestions on bigger boards? I like the current one I have (Pedal Pad), but it's getting too small. I like it because I unhing the top half of the case, and all my pedals are mounted at an angel, and I can lift up that platform, and underneath is room for all my cables and a mounted power strip. The pitch and height of the pedal board goes great with my Mesa footswitch too - the angle matches from the back side of my Mesa footswitch, to the front of my pedal board and it's almost the same width as well - so it really works well! My current effects that I use are: Ernie Ball Volume pedal (not the junior!), Dunlop 535Q Wah, Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor, Digitech XMC Multi Chorus, Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner, MXR EVH Flange, MXR EVH Phaser, TC Electronics ND-1 Nova Delay, and a Morpheus Drop Tune. All fit on the board currently - except for the Drop Tune. I would also like some room for future items like a good compressor, maybe an acoustic sim, and my Rocktron Banshee Talk Box. I currently set my Mesa footswitch in front of my pedal board. Any suggestions? I'll post some pics of my current setup sometime soon here.

Axeman,
Do you have the larger Pedal Pad MPS (the XL?)

Look into Pedaltrain. They have several sizes. The PT Pro might be a good one for you.

Depending on where you're located i've made my own board and can either help you or do a build to order...

Always a good question: I made my own pedal boards for years, also bought a few. As you know, you must ABSOLUTELY SURE that there a CERTAIN specs:

e.g., power supply compartment, power cord compartment, pedal attachment features, cable clearance over the "top" of the board, angled pedal platform?, rubber skids on bottom of board, etc. . . .

have at it!

+1 on the Pedal Train. Great board, I love mine, the PT-Pro would be great for you. I love the fact that there's room to mount the power supply under the board, which allows for all cables and wires to be run down under the board, I also love the velcro thing, very easy to mount whatever pedal and change them around.

Pumaboards will make any size you want.

I use the PT Pro. I have the Voodoo Labs Pedal power 2 plus, with my pedals linked with George L cables and all strung through with a Pedal Snake.

Best. Setup. Ever.

+1 on the Pedaltrain boards. Great boards at a decent price. Tons of room on the PT Pro.

Trailer Trash

Trailer Trash boards are killer, but SOOOO expensive if you get a custom one. Last I heard, those guys had some reasonably priced standard boards.

I Got a custom pedalboard and case made by Anvil/Calzone. It was expensive, but worth it. All I have to do is take the cover off and I'm set. Plus, it's Full ATA. The usable space is 29" x 12" and works for me. It accommodates a VP Jr., my Mark V footswitch, a Pedal Power ISO-5, and about 5 or 6 regular sized stomp boxes.

You just need a sturdy metal frame board and perhaps a place to mount a power supply. Pedal boars are ALWAYS best kept simple. That's why I dig Pedaltrain.

The more features you add to it, the less likely it'll survive the test of time. Remember this thing is getting packed up, moved and stomped on all the time. Durability is king, therefore simplicity is king.

I have a Pedal Train Pro with soft case that I'm looking to sell. If you are interested, shoot me a PM.

If you're happy with Pedal Pad products (I sure am), then just step up to the MPS-XL. It's 38"x15"x7":

Pedal Pad Pedal Board Road Series MPS, MPS-9, MPS-XL, AXS

I've got the regular MPS (28"). It's great!

Pedaltrain! I love mine. I have the PT-1 (exactly like the PT-2 but with a slightly cheaper hard case) and I can fit my Mesa footswitch, Korg Pitchblack tuner, Ernie Ball Wah, MXR EVH Phase 90, MXR EVH Flanger, TC Electronic Nova Delay, and MXR Stereo Chorus with room to spare for maybe one maybe two smaller pedals.

I still vote for pedaltrain. Probably a PT-2 or PT Pro. go for the hard case model. should do everything your Pedal Pad does, but will weigh less.

The PT-1 is 22 x 12.5, probably enough room for your mounted pedals

The PT-2 is 24 x 12.5, would probably accomodateeverything mounted plus your talk box and compressor.

The PT-Pro is 32 x 16 and could fit everything you have and then some.

Plenty of room for your power strip underneath, or if you upgraded to power supplies (Voodoo Labs, BBE, T-Rex, Dunlop). If you go with the hard case, there's also plenty of room to throw in your cables.

The mounting could be tricky, but doable. As long as you're sure on placement, some metal screws will mount your pedals perfectly in place. Though I will say, the Velcro that comes with the Pedaltrain is rock solid.
