Pedal case that's high enough inside to fit a DHA vt1?

[andydye]

I'm looking for a pedal case that'll fit my DHA vt-1 without putting pressure on the knobs etc on top as it's quite a high pedal!

It's currently in a gator pedal tote and it's not got enough clearance to the top so I'm looking for an alternative.

What do folks use?

(It doesn't need to be the size of Nebraska as it's currently only going to have a tuner, the DHA an interface box and a power strip as that's all my new originals outfit needs sonically, in the future I may need more noises so summat slightly bigger would be fine too...)

I'm thinking some kind of alu hard case where the lid unclips to leave the base as the pedal board?

Anyone got something that works?

Spider Pedalboard Flightcases aren't a bad option (Flightcase Warehouse), or a second-hand flightcase (ebay is full of them) and then cut a pedalboard to size out of plywood is a potentially cheap option with lots of protection. I would also have a chat with Shep about [url="http://www.reallyawesomepedalboards.co.uk/"]The Really Awesome Pedalboard Company[/url] and whether any of their boards would be suitable with that pedal. Good luck matey!

Cheers bud, I'll measure how high the pedal is tonight and see if one of the spider hardcases will do the job as they're pretty reasonably priced and look sturdy enough! I've looked Mark/Shep's stuff and it's awesome but way more than I need or can afford. I've already got an interface box and sufficient george L cables

I have two Spider cases if you want to have a gander at them at some point...

oo that'd be fab!...maybe we could co-ordinate that with a visit to meet a knightfall?

[fretmeister]

Can you measure the pedal?

I've got a couple of cases of different makes - I'll measure them out to compare if you like?

My DHA fits perfectly inside my aluminium case (a cheap Kinsman one) without putting pressure on the knobs or switches.

So the pedal (inc knobs) measures 75mm and the power supply inc fourway measures 85mm...

Think I'll be selling both my pedal totes and getting one of these to do their job:

in my pre coffee haze this morning I ordered a spider case from flightcase warehouse, completely forgetting that you'd said you'd measure a couple of your cases for me... sorry dude

[fretmeister]

No probs!

I reckon the mid sized Diago would take it (will confirm later anyway) as it copes with a Ibanez Weeping Demon with some space to spare.
