Jellyfish Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Hiya guys, I've got some effects incoming all at once (about 3 of them + the one I already have) and realise that I don't have anywhere to put them! I've been looking at my options and it looks like it's a choice between the [b]Diago[/b] pedal boards that come in various sizes or the [b]Pedaltrain[/b] boards that also come in a range of sizes. I want it to be as light and as easy to move as possible, which both of them do quite well, but are there any options I've overlooked? If let to it, I'd probably get the Pedaltrain as it seems to be one of those things that would never ever need replacing. It might also be worth mentioning that I'll only be wanting to store about 5 pedals at any given time. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) The cheap pedaltrain option! (although perhaps a bit too big for 3 pedals) http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10213713/ Edited January 17, 2014 by dannybuoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellyfish Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 That's certainly a cheap option! However, I did want something that had its own case. Plus, I don't think I'd be able to do a good job of 'converting' into something usable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbass Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I can fit six pedals and a power supply onto a diago commuter pedalboard, which is incredibly light and portable, and also carries 2 jack leads and a kettle plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I have a diago commuter going spare I've hAd up to 9 pedals on it, lighter than an equivalent sized pedal train too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guinness21 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Pedaltrain Nano, or Mini to allow room for any future investments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Diago boards are pretty heavy duty, but for the protection they offer they're pretty worth it! I imagine the pedaltrain ones would probably be the lightest, but without a hard case they may not be protected as much as you need... Well not if you Chuck it around like I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byo Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I just got myself a Pedaltrain Nano for a few fly gigs that I need to do and it is super small. I have set up an Aguilar Octamizer, Fuzzrocious Rat Tail, Line6 M5 and a TC Ditto looper and they fit perfectly. I also have a Mission Engineering mini expression knob thingy on the board and on one of the sides I have added a small buffer from JHS. For powering purposes I am using a GigRig Generator and a Distributor that fit nicely under the board. The fully loaded board does not weigh anything and the gigbag is nicely padded. Now I can fit my pedalboard in my suitcase and still have space for my own stuff. Those Diago Commuter's look realy light too and are worth a try. Cheers.

Iheartreverb Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Deffo a pedal train nano, I have 4 boss pedals on mine (look up Hosa for tiny tiny patch cables) and when transporting just fastens to my gig bag and I forget it's there.

Paul S Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Stagg pedal board cases are very cheap, lightweight and, although not spectacularly robust, are 'ok'. Ali/abs body with removable lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
