Default current forum pedalboard wisdom

What's currently the forum's wisdom on best value for money pedalboards? For which I'm thinking, reasonable cheap but won't fall apart when I pick it up!

Nothing too big required, I'm sure. Just planning ahead for possible gigging (and just got paid!).

May need permission for a pedalboard, but the 'it'll tidy up the floor' argument should win it

Cheers

I'm still pondering this question - I'm going to need a big fuck-off one, though.

Hi Clare,

It just so happens that I'm selling a Stagg pedalboard as I'm moving to a Multi Effects unit. I'll get some pics up later if you want. I'd be looking fo about £25 for the board & £7 for postage

Measurments are 48cm by 26cm internal dimensions. Could fit about 11 Boss size pedals.

That sounds very interesting! Photos would be great, thanks.

Me too. Amongst others, I have 2 (soon to be 3) Boss twin pedals and a HT-Dual which take up lots of room so the cheap, small pedalboards are just not enough.

I currently have a TKL case that measures approx 500mm x 300mm and I can't get all the pedals I want on it

I highly rate the Diago pedal boards. They're not super cheap but they're very well built and the customer service is really good.

I can see I'm going to have to decide on what I'd want on a 'board and the measurements required over the weekend.

I'll need to think of power supplies too, I guess. Lots of the pedals will be Boss, so any suggestions on good power supplies would be good too. I have a little power supply I use at the moment, but it doesn't fit the Boss pedals.

Anything else I'd need? I have patch cables (very, very nice one's made by our very own Sporky).

Ta, Nick. They look rather nice, and I may be able to stretch to that sort of price.....maybe!
