Alternative to Pedaltrain Nano+

[Stylon Pilson]

The number of pedals that I own has now increased to the point that it's worth me buying a small board to put them on.

I placed an order for a Pedaltrain Nano+ with GAK, which looked perfect, but it's looking like there won't be any arriving in the country until the end of November - other suppliers are also reporting delays. I'm tempted to cancel my order and seek alternatives.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

S.P.

Will the original Pedaltrain Nano be of any use? I have a spare I could sell you! It's a little bit smaller than the Nano+ I think, but if everything will fit on to it you're welcome to have it!

Joyo boards look pretty tough and are two thirds the price of a Pedaltrain.

Thanks for the offer, but I don't think it would be big enough. The difference is fairly significant - about 10cm, I believe.

As far as I can see, they're all fairly big though. I'm not looking for a huge board - just enough for 4 or 5 average-sized pedals

I started off with a Junior when I tidied my board up a couple of years ago. I would recommend getting something a little larger than you need so you can keep it tidy and/or have expansion room in case your pedals have babies.

s/h laptop bag, piece of 18mm mdf cut to fit, stick on rubber feet, Velcro... tada

Thomann sell a few different branded ones that are just rip-offs of the pedaltrain design from what I can see.

Digging around in their pedal board section should bring them up.

I've decided to order a Warwick Rockboard Jam instead. Slightly larger than the Pedaltrain Nano+ but that gives me a little room to grow, plus I can have it by Thursday.

Diago Sprinter?

Sorry for being late but I had the same dilemma and did a spreadsheet calculating total area, cost, etc! Ended up buying a Gator case from thomann. So far very pleased with it, it's ply rather than aluminium but it feels sturdy enough for the job

I have this board. The Frame is very stable and you can fit up to 5 mxr sized pedals pretty easily.
The bag that comes with it is a really cheap, ugly looking bag, but it gets the job done.

Yep, my first impressions of it so far are good. It's currently holding 4 pedals with a little room to spare, but I've got plans. Here's how it looks at the moment:



I've got some EBS low profile patch cables on the way, which will give me a bit more room to play. With the purchases I'm currently considering, it might end up like this:



If not then I'll just ditch the Digitech chorus pedal, or look into replacing those two Digitech pedals with micro-sized alternatives.
