Pedal Train Pedalboard

Man, this thing is so friggin' easy to use it aint even funny. I have had all the SKB boards, a custom board from pedalboard.com, and several that I made myself. This thing is the coolest because of the case, the design, and the price(more on the dollar figure later).

Well, it doesnt make any noise, its a pedalboard. What I will say is that it fits all my effects pretty nicely. They are- Budda Wah into a Carl Martin compressor-into a Fulldrive2-into a Carl Martin Boost Kick-into a Maxon AD-80 Analog delay-into a Voodoo lab temolo(4Knob version). Everything is powered by a Voodoo Lab pedal power....rock on.

I would gig without a back up. Its a solid piece of Aluminum, what is gonna go wrong? very solid.
The case looks pretty solid, but we will see after time passes how well it actually holds up.

Never dealt with them. I have read good things.

O.K.- The board is cool, and the case is cool. Its a perfect fit for the board but it leaves a little extra room for cables ect. The only thing that bugs me is those crappy little rubber pads that are supposed to stop the board from sliding, when i got it home one of them had come off, and i hadn't even taken it out of the plastic yet! I figure if i'm gonna pay damn near $200.00 for a piece of aluminum, and a case, the feet should be drilled in and real rubber stops should be used. Now on the other hand- the case is very nice and all together the whole thing weighs less than half of what i was carrying before. The open slats in on the top bugged me until i got my pedals on there and found that i can route extra cable length etc. underneath...cool. Im glad i got one, i love it, but damn if if it didn't cost me. I think its alittle high for a non-powered board. The other thing is that it only comes in one size, 12.5 by 22 inches. I dont recommend if you have Line 6 stompboxes. I checked around and generally a hard case for a pedal baord is like $250.00. So when i saw this, i said Hmmmmm, ill try it. the case does not look ATA approved, but if you are throwing it in a trunk, you cant beat it, for the buck. The SKB stuff is cheaper and powered, but its made out of plastic and i think its powered by a naked wire soldered to some tin foil or something.

This pedalboard is ingenious in design and very simple to set up. Angled face allows for easy step to higher up pedals. I got mine in 2001 with the soft padded case. I currently have seven items on this board, including the power supply and amp footswitch. Accomodates them all very nicely. I love this thing!

My gear list includes two Strats and a mint condition Ibanez 335 copy from the early eighties. For amps I use a Carvin Legacy combo for large rooms and a Tech 21 Trademark 60 for smaller clubs. With this pedalboard, my set up time is very quick, very tidy and professional looking. The case makes for quick and easy transport to and from gigs.

This thing is built tough with a lightweight aluminum frame that seems indestructable. I can't afford two pedalboards, so no backup. I have a couple backups for my pedals though, they certainly won't last as long as this great board. The soft case is thickly padded and leaves room for extra stuff like cables, extra pedals, etc. Of course, they now make it in a hardshell case.......

This is the best part! Recently I went to their website and saw that they have changed the cases to hardshell flight cases. I emailed them and asked what someone with the soft case could do for an upgraded hard case, and I got a response from Mr. John Chandler himself, president of Pedaltrain! He told me for a limited time customers who bought the old style Train with soft case could upgrade for $45 bucks (If I remember right, its been a few months) to get a hard case. I sent him the money and within 5 days got the new case. He has earned a customer for life with this fantastic personal treatment! If it ever got stolen I would get another immediately. I gave my soft case to my flute player in my funk band who uses Boss harmonizers and Delays on an Skb board that fits in there perfectly, so she has a good case too now. Now I have no worries about my pedals or my board.

I would recommend this board to anyone who uses a moderate amount of pedals, as it will not hold 15 pedals unless you dont want to actually plug them in. If you use a tasteful amount of effects, then this tasty board is just what the doctor ordered.

Very well made. Nice angle on board. Easy and comfortable to use.
Came with plenty of industrial valcro.

The carry case looks almost bullet proof!

John Chandler, president of Pedal Train answered several e-mails prior to purchase. What can go wrong, it's a non-powered pedal board.

We play Blues, classic rock,Texas swing, and a little Jazz. I don't use that many pedals but this board keeps them tight and protected.

The Pedaltrain pedalboard is the best I've had. I bought mine new and it came with more than enough Velcro to cover the board and my pedals. The case is built very well, very sturdy. I gig full-time, so it's been moving alot. Everything stays in place on the board during transit. Cuts my set-up time by more than half!

N/A

I've been using the Pedaltrain for almost 2 months now and have had no problems with it. Again, the case and board are built very well. Allows me to get to the gig, set-up quickly and just play!

I contacted John Chandler from Pedaltrain about a few questions I had and he responded quickly to my e-mails. Nice to see someone who cares about their customers!

I really can't say how happy I am with the Pedaltrain! It's made my life easier and lightened my stress load. I plan on buying another one soon, so I can have one for live gigs and one for sessions. Great piece of gear!

great design-came with lots of velcro,too.

can't imagine it breaking-i do wonder if it would ever warp,though?
most likely not,but it didn't sit flush on the floor until i put some
effects on there...it's fine now.

there is some kind of warranty,i think-not too likely it would be
needed.

this is a good board-i considered the new furman powered one,but i
already had the VL pedal power.this is not too big and can fit at least
6 of my stomps w/ the PP.i don't always use a board, but it's good to
have it around-the case is nice,but i kind of wish it had a shoulder strap...it's more like a suitcase. i'd say it's a winner.

Great and light weight too. This comes with a roomy and padded carrying case. Pedals attach with velcro like all of the other pedal boards, but this isn't made of wood, rather some kind of alloy metal. You have room for all kinds of pedals including volume/wah size pedals. It is about 22 inches wide and the case is 24 inches wide.

This will last through a nuclear war.

I bought it off of ebay so I don't have a warranty or anything. I can't comment on this.

Great pedal board.
