ordep Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 If I am in minimalist mode I just grab my other board. 😛 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I've got the Nano+ 'cos I wanted something uber small for gigging. Trouble is, it's uber small for pedals! I've also got a Classic Jr which kinda feels too big for my needs, although on the plus side I can get my Ciocks DC8 underneath it with the tilted frame, whereas with the Nano and Metros you can only fit a Ciocks DC5 underneath (assuming you have Ciocks and not something else!). On a scale where a Nano + can get 5 'normal' Boss pedals on, I reckon that the Metro 16 = 7 Boss pedals, Metro 20 = 9 Boss pedals, Metro 24 = 11 Boss pedals, Classic Jr = 12 Boss pedals (and a chunkier power supply underneath) Does anyone use a hardcase with their pedal board for better protection, or is a soft case just fine in your experience?

ordep Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) softcase is fine for me, but so far I have only done pub bar/function gigs. No crazy tours yet. Btw, Mono case for a pedaltrain Jr is on sale at madisonandfifth for £51 shipped. Just bought one so I am now “forced” to move to a PT jr. :-D https://store.madisonandfifth.co.uk/mono-m80-pb1-pedal-board-case---few-remaining-629-p.asp Edited January 12, 2018 by ordep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Wow. That's a great deal on the Mono case! I had a PT-JR with a Mono softcase and toured for 5 months with it in the back of the van - No trouble here! Saying that, is wasn't being knocked about by flight cases etc. It's perfect for most gigging situations I'd say. If it's doing any extensive touring and it will be packed in with other flightcases, I would definitely get the hardcase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Cheers - the Mono cases do look a fair bit sturdier than the PT supplied (soft) cases? But they also seem to be a fair bit more expensive than even the PT hard cases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had a Nano+, I just used a soft-case but once you are up to 9-10 pedals that can easily be 1500-2000 quids worth of gear. I got a hardcase once I had a Novo 18.

cLepto-bass Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 My pedals have as much material and sentimental value as my bass, therefore, hard case all the way for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Had a bit of a shuffle about and added a Mooer sweeper for daft noises! The metro 20 is very crowded now. I may wirh a but of shuffling manage another nano pedal (thinking of a mooer lofi machine) and that's it. I want to add at least a Co pilot orbit abs another octaver to my collection so trying to decide between a metro 24 or a classic jnr or maybe even a classic 1,still not sure. I do like to have nice gaps between the pedals though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 @lee650 Nice board Lee! Can't quite make out a couple of your pedals - how about a sideways close up?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) @Higgie if the classic jnr will hold one more pedal than the metro 24, I think I'd rather get one of those! I still keep thinking the classic 1 will be too big,for the very infrequent pub gigs I do now @Al Krow Ive only got my phone and it was dark!I think you one you mean is the first gen 3 leaf Wonderlove and poss my TC mini noir. ill try and get a better pic tomorrow, i just wanted to give an idea of how packed my board is definately changing my board soon,just cant decide between the metro 24, classic jnr or 1 any of these coming up used may sway me!

bobbass4k Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Couple of new builds - I finally have a compressor that does what I want it too. I'm very happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt on your Bass? Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Probably still not final but happy for the short term.... See how it sounds through the next month of writing but to date very happy with this. Just added some ebs patch cables which ha saved a tonne of space.
