umcoo Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I'm needing a pedalboard very soon as my collection of pedals is growing nicely! I'm pretty set on the Pedaltrain 2 with HC, but the cheapest I've found them here is around £170. Would I be better off importing one from the states or will I get 'done' on the import tax and whathavesya? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roady Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Bit of a bump here, but im also after a pedaltrain (this time the PT-Pro) and the cheapest I can see in the uk is £190 with the softcase and £250 with the hard case :/ I know guitareffectspedals sells to the uk, but their postage cost is about £85 which when coupled with the £150 price and the threat of import duty kind of rules it out. If anyone has any alternative, or knows of any cheaper sites let me know Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-77 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 i think you pay import duty and vat on anything over £18, you also get hit for a handling fee from the courier , i think these is a sticky somwhere about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 does it have to be a pedaltrain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 If you're getting a new pedal train make sure you get one of the very new ones with the Voodoo Labs mounts underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 [url="http://www.spider-engineering.co.uk/music/index.asp?groupID=2400"]Spider Engineering / Flightcase Warehouse[/url] These guys sell em, but I just bought one of the Spider ones from them, £55 for a sturdy medium sized pedalboard flightcase inc next day delivery!

Kev Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 diago tourman??? half the price of a pedaltrain, and bigger than what you need too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 diago was where i was going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roady Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 had a look at the diago stuff - seems great, but the tourman seems a bit too big, while the showman is JUST a bit too small! Cant argue with the price though! They seem great quality too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 The problem with Diago stuff is you have to route the cables around the pedals this gets messy and takes up space I mean I can fit a rediculous amount of pedals on a PT JR the slat system is the best way to go so I'd also recommend looking at the T-Rex stuff unless you need a particular hardwearing flightcase they use the same ones as the original PT One which always worried me but they are cheaper than pedaltrain. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) The Trex ones I've seen were cheap and nasty IMO. If you want slats go Pedaltrain. If you don't go Diago. Edited February 7, 2008 by Toasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
