Good pedal boards

I have a Diago gigman. I am generallt very pleased with it, however the biggest issue I have is that is has that 23mm lip around the edge, which means that it's difficult to put anything that doesn't have in/out jacks at the height of something like a Boss or Marshall pedals for example - which means that if you want to start your chain with something in a Hammond enclosure for example, you can't put the plug over the top of the lip, so you need to leave a gap.
I know the position you put your pedals on your board doesn't necessarily dictate the order that you have to connect them up, but it helps I think, particularly if you want a neat board.

So with that in mind, who makes good pedal board/case solutions, without a lip around the edge, that don't have a huge big case to keep them in (the depth of the gigman for example is ideal) and isn't too small or too big - the gigman is a good size, pedaltrain jnr is a bit small and the hardcase looks a bit big. The Warwick/Gator boards look a bit pap, so any recommendations for a good, well priced board, would be welcome

Cheers

Also, if you've never actually seen one, the Pedaltrain Jr is bigger than you might think it is from looking at pictures on the web - does me fine and holds my 8 pedals. Dangerboy squeezed 13 onto his, but he crazy.[/quote]

I'm going to go for the record soon. I'm currently re-boxing multiple pedals into single cases. Get ready for a Bassman-style pre-amp, an SHO and a Hermonic Percolator in one box the size of a Barge pedal. Three switches. Dainty feet.

Of course, you could use a piece of wood as a riser. I did that because my Rockbag case has the same issue - cut some spare wood I had lying around (20 mm thick) to the right size for my Sansamp DI, velcroed it and voílà. Tidy, cheap and removable.

Had the same problem with my diago board. Was thinking about making a wooden riser for the two pedals affected as stated above but couldn't be bothered, so ordered some leads with right angle jacks from obbm, just lift the pedals up a bit when i plug em in or position the pedals so there's enough room to insert the jacks

Seems like a design flaw on an otherwise top pedal board
