xgsjx Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I got a Spider pedal board flightcase from flightcase warehouse just over 2 years ago (Man, it passes quick!). Comes with a painted bit of ply & some velcro. I popped a couple of rubber feet on the back of the ply & got some heavy duty velcro & job's a good un. All in cost about £70 IIRC & is a good solid case that protects my pedals really well when getting chucked into the back of a van & I normally keep the board in the case when using.

waltsdog Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 How about building the ikea Gorm pedal board, less than a tenner so student friendly.

paul_5 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I got a Kinsman thingy for about £25. Admittedly I have to rotate my pedals depending on the gig, but I think that's down to an excess of pedals rather than a small board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Savage Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 The Stagg ones are cheap, cheerful and do the job as long as you're not throwing them about the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son of frog Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) I've used the Kinsman and Stagg ones, No difference in quality, both seemed good, but now upgraded to Pedaltrain, and using the kinsman & stagg as Kit / Cable boxes. Only because the power supply and cables underneath are much more organized, and i hate mess. Also used an SKB pedalboard which was awesomely light but really durable, and has an inbuilt power supply for 8 pedals, even 9vAC or battery connectors, Currently selling (contact me if interested) though because i'm downsizing on pedalboards. If you've only got the few pedals, ie. 4 / 5, i would look into the Pedal-train Nano, if you don't plan on buying loads, its around £50 and looks the biz, i really need to find the time to take some pics of mine, I managed to squeeze 3 boss pedals and 2 MXR pedals all onto it. Plus it can be strapped to your bag / guitar case, and weights virtually nothing. Edited April 23, 2011 by son of frog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Cheap and quality pedal board? Only solution is to build one yourself, it's quite easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Pedaltrain Mini would do it, about fifty quid I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Vader Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Bit of Mdf, drill, and some cable ties. And you're done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burray Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I'm going to have to make one myself I think. I don't want to use velcro, as I move the pedals around quite a bit. Ideally I'd like something similar to the Boss board with the foam cut out spaces to hold effects in place, but I'm not paying that much for one. DIY it is. Bugger – that involves planning...

Al Heeley Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 they really are very easy and cheap to make at home, I'm amazed why people spend over £70 on a set of velcro slats. Here's a sketch of the one I put together. MDF, velcro and a couple of rubber feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorick Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I bought the Gator Pedal Tote, fx board and bag combo from Flightcase Warehouse.... great little thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblin Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I got mine earlier from Yorkshire Flight Cases (katcase on ebay), full flightcase board. Cost me around £50 and the inners are high density foam, so you cut it out and sit your pedals in there. For the money I can't really think of much better!

Delberthot Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) You should be able to see mine in this picture. About £17 on Ebay from Flightcasewarehouse. Been used for hundreds of gigs. Can easily take 4 Boss pedals or 3 and my Korg Tuner [url="http://img694.imageshack.us/i/dsc06060large.jpg/"][/url] Edited May 8, 2011 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
