attackbass Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I recently became an EBS pedal endorsing artist and so now I have the issue of the EBS pedals no longer fitting on my current board... so I'm looking fora decent pedalboard/ pedalboard case... does anyone know of any good companies or can recommend what is good and what should be avoided. I need to something professional standard as I tour a lot, usually on buss's with trailers so need something that can withstand the carnage that takes place on the road!

lemmywinks Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I use a Diago pedalboard which is very durable (should be it weighs quite a bit) They do one that is the size of a guitar case if you've got a lot of pedals but they do custom builds too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cLepto-bass Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I would definatley second the Diago, really good product for a really good price. [url="http://www.diago.co.uk/"]http://www.diago.co.uk/[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorick Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Have a look at the Flightcase Warehouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegarcia Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I personally don't rate the Diago boards. They seem like such a huge amount of money for a bit of chip board and some carpet. My board started life as a mixer flight case but I just changed the hinges. It is huge, only £50 and would have cost £150 if it were simply labelled a 'pedal board'. I think it's crazy how much the manufacturers are charging for pedal boards which aren't any more expensive to build than cases that sell for half as much with a different suggested use. Sorry, rant over. Personally, I reckon it's worth holding out for a used mixer case or something from a flightcase builders' clearance section, which is what I did.

dannybuoy Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Get the best - either a Pedaltrain Mini/Junior/2/Pro with hard case, and also check out the EBS solid pedal connectors, a great space saving altenative to patch cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agoulding Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 probobally 95% cheaper to make a decent durable one yourself. and buy a flight case for it which you can usually get fairly cheap on evil bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifeq Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 how hard is to split the guitar case into two pieces (base and lid) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tischbein Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 if you´re an EBS endorser, why don´t you go with the excellent EBS pedalboard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_the_bass Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Looks a bit limiting if you want to use i) more than 6 fx and ii) any of them aren't made my EBS. Try an [url="http://www.nycpedalboards.com"]NYC pedalboard[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you can get them from B&Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I use something like this (but cheaper): Get one from Ikea & trim (or not) to size, spray black & afix pedals with Velcro or plastic ties. I'm about to make one myself. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
