Turns out there's some magnets in the lining of a hardcase I was going to use for effects and signal chain. 

Would this damage or effect pedals or sound quality asid like to keep the lining. 

 

Cheers.

If you have so powerful magnets that you can hear the sound difference, you should avoid them. You may have to leave your keys to be able to walk away...

Seriously, if a magnet is very near of a transformer (stuck to it), there may be subtle difference in its behavior. I try to think, which effect pedal might suffer from a nearby magnet but can not think of any. Cables do not care at all, if they are not wound to coils. Tubes can be affected but again the magnet has to be powerful and it has to be very close to it.

Some wah pedals might have coils inside, some might have transformers if they have a DI output. They might be affected by a magnet, but then again the overall effect may be negligible.
