PedalTrain 2

[umcoo]

I'm needing a pedalboard very soon as my collection of pedals is growing nicely! I'm pretty set on the Pedaltrain 2 with HC, but the cheapest I've found them here is around £170. Would I be better off importing one from the states or will I get 'done' on the import tax and whathavesya?

Thanks!

Bit of a bump here, but im also after a pedaltrain (this time the PT-Pro) and the cheapest I can see in the uk is £190 with the softcase and £250 with the hard case :/

I know guitareffectspedals sells to the uk, but their postage cost is about £85 which when coupled with the £150 price and the threat of import duty kind of rules it out.

If anyone has any alternative, or knows of any cheaper sites let me know

Cheers

i think you pay import duty and vat on anything over £18, you also get hit for a handling fee from the courier , i think these is a sticky somwhere about it.

does it have to be a pedaltrain?

If you're getting a new pedal train make sure you get one of the very new ones with the Voodoo Labs mounts underneath.

These guys sell em, but I just bought one of the Spider ones from them, £55 for a sturdy medium sized pedalboard flightcase inc next day delivery!

I use a Burkey Flatliner for my pedal power, so those Voodoo Labs mounts would be a bit too small unfortunately

I'm looking for something around 800mm wide by 400mm deep x 100mm high - which the pedaltrain seems to have covered perfectly, but in reality any board around that size will do - and the cheaper the better.

diago tourman??? half the price of a pedaltrain, and bigger than what you need too

[sk8]

diago was where i was going

[Roady]

had a look at the diago stuff - seems great, but the tourman seems a bit too big, while the showman is JUST a bit too small!

Cant argue with the price though! They seem great quality too...

[tayste_2000]

The problem with Diago stuff is you have to route the cables around the pedals this gets messy and takes up space I mean I can fit a rediculous amount of pedals on a PT JR the slat system is the best way to go so I'd also recommend looking at the T-Rex stuff unless you need a particular hardwearing flightcase they use the same ones as the original PT One which always worried me but they are cheaper than pedaltrain.

Hope this helps

[Toasted]

The Trex ones I've seen were cheap and nasty IMO.

If you want slats go Pedaltrain. If you don't go Diago.
