I've been using my lil homemade 'board for quite awhile and it still does the trick but I'm thinking it's time for something in a hard case, the kind where the top lifts off and the boxs are in the bottom.
I run from 4 to 8 pedals so I do not need anything wider than about 24", dual rows with the rear row elevated or the whole thing angled.
Will need to hold a pedal power II or similar, I'll take feedback on that as well.
Open for suggestions fella's, let me have 'em.
Thanks in advance, Curt

Pedal Train, baby!!!! Affordable, and built like a friggin' tank. I've got the "Pro," but it's HUGE. I kinda wish I would have gotten a PT2... But the Pro, in it's road case, has flown all over the US and Canada since this summer with no issues whatsoever. Cool layout & design. Very practical... Lefty??

I would suggest the Pedaltrain II. It may be more than what you need, but better to have and not need... PT/2-HC Our updated flagship model, now a full 24 inches wide. This unit will easily hold a wah and a dozen standard sized stomp boxes. Includes a tour grade flight case with recessed and lockable latches and new heavier duty handles. Case interior has additional storage space for cables, spare pedals, and accessories. frame 24x12.5x2 inches / weight 4 lbs. case 25.5x18x8 inches / weight 14 lbs. www.pedaltrain.comI have two PT Jr.s one for each style of gigs. Depending on the gig, I just put it in the hardshell case and away I go...now I just need a gig

Tele, I have bought a couple of boards and cases from www.stompin-ground.com. They are going to be more that the Rondo music deal but you said keep them coming. I had a case lay around and had them cut a board for the case. They are bound and they send out Velcro strips. Jimmie

I have one of those too, it's not bad but you will need a board to go within the case. They say you can mount them inside but they don't stay very well, and there is no higher level. I had board made separately to fit inside the case.

I have the SKB (45, I think) with the hard shell. It is pretty nice. The cheapest I found it at the time was on Amazon, of all places. Furman came out with one shortly after that has a hard shell and looks a little nicer, but costs more. They both have power, extra outlets, and a "patch bay" for loops, running stereo, etc.

I just recieved a "Six Shot" board from NYC Pedalboards. It is a very good unit, solidly built. I also recommend a Visual Sound One Spot for the power, for $40, you get a power supply (that takes one spot om your power strip), and an assortment of five comnnectors ( you can get more). Works great, sounds great, makes setting up so much easier. Good luck. I use: Keeley Compressor, Barber Direct Drive, Boss Auto-Wah, Digitech Delay, and Ross chorus.

I have the same one your looking at. But like I said I had a board made to fit inside the lower part of the case. The lining they use will take velcro, but fuzzes up REALLY easy. If I had to do it over again, I would of just got a PTII. FWIW.

Thanks Matt. I think I've got a PT II lined up.
Thanks to all for your responses here.

I just bought a Pumaboard (http://www.pumaboards.com/) and a PPII to power it, and am very happy! I went with the Pumaboard because each one is custom-made to your exact specs. A bit more pricey than some of the other options available, but was worth it for me.

I have an ebay generic board that's just fine (and big- 29"x15"!) with a pedal power 2 on it and a Furman SPB-8 powered pedalboard (8 pedals, 3 wall warts). Gator makes a cool looking one that comes with a power supply for 8 9v pedals + 3 12v pedals, 30"x16" board with cover/case (I'm guessing it fits with pedals on the board. I might just up and get one of those, since it's big and less than a new pedal power 2!

I am looking for a new board also. I've been keeping my eyes on pedaltrain.

Been using a PedalPad for a while and it does a good job. It's a little heavy when fully loaded and it's a bit expensive. It set up quick and it's relatively easy to rearrange pedals.

Been staying quiet here, but I went the deluxe route and I'm putting my pedals back in the rack where they belong.
