Gigrig Pedalboard (Schmidt Array on a budget)

[tayste_2000]

Have to say at first glance I’m pretty sold on a small.

£375 for the small and another £180 for a bag?

These look great. Very tempting!

I'm with @tayste_2000 on the small, it would fit all the same pedals as my PT classic jnr in a smaller footprint. Plus the clearance underneath and the weight is better than the Schmidt Array. Though I don't think it'd fit my Moog MF 101.

 

I'd be a little concerned about how it carries in the bag as its a pretty chunky box all wrapped up.

Don't worry, it's actually only £114 for the small bag if you bundle them together 😂

Yeah, exactly. Sure it’s expensive for a pedalboard but it’s cheaper and lighter than a Schmidt. Also love the video where they checked it in just in the bag for a flight.

 

i actually thought because the top riser is removable that I could

run that as a nano I can then clip into a larger board. Sure it’ll probably scratch some stages but they aren’t my stages so 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think their target audience is ppl who like Schmidt Array but aren't willing/able to part with that much cash. They certainly aren't cheap in the first place but they're a small company and they've never made affordability a priority over quality and functionality.

I did a little check on Pedal Playground and a MF would fit on top or underneath (if my maths is right). You'd sacrifice as much space as a PT Classic jnr.

Running the top tier as its own board is blowing my mind!

To get into the nitty gritty on the top I’d have a dirty boost into a one control patch bay mounted underneath (with a cable in the loop) out to my jhs punchline. Have a Cioks 4 under it and it’s a tidy all in one. Likely have to add something to raise it slightly off the ground and not stick out far enough when mounted on the small board.

 

Then I’d have roughly a jr (8pedals) on the base board. Have something like a DC5 or 7 and one of the cables can go up and power the cioks 4.

 

My issue is I don’t know what would do with the space for 8 pedals on the bottom 😂
