Need help picking a pedal board

[Joe4srv]

Not sure if this is the place to ask this question, but I need help picking out a good pedal board. I use up to 3 boss pedals, a Wah, and a volume pedal, but have a few more pedals if I had the space. What do you all recommend? Price is something to consider -- looking for the best value for what I spend and what it is used for.

I use the Behringer PB1000 powered pedal board. It works very well. I have a wah, Line 6 M5, and 2 other pedals in the case and have room for at least 2 more.

Since you're from Altoona, I'd stop in at Music Emporium. I asked about pedal boards down there about 6 months ago and they had a bunch of different options in stock.

Though probably a little overkill on features, the SKB45 and 55 are great.

Pedaltrain makes great pedalboards in a variety of sizes. They have open slats to run cables, and brackets to mount popular power supplies underneath. They are about as good as it gets before going to really high end boutique pedalboards.

These pedalboards from Rondo Music are not terrible, and they are about as cheap as you can get.

No matter what pedalboard you get, I highly recommend throwing away the velcro they give you, and replacing it with industrial strength velcro they sell it at walmart. If you go with one of the rondo boards, you will have to peel all the velcro on it off, because it comes already on there.

I've also heard pretty good things about this pedalboard made from a shelf at ikea

I've been pretty impressed by what I've seen from Pedaltrain. I like any pedal board that allows you to run the patch and power cabling underneath for a clean look with functionality.

A few years ago, I picked up a Blackbird, which is kind of like a Trailer Trash without the need to sell a kidney to afford. I like being able to plug input and output cables into the board rather than straight into the first and last pedals. Also, there's plenty of room underneath for mounting devices that you don't need to engage; I've put line buffers and other similar boxes underneath. Their unique feature is that you can have a section of the board designed flat for rocking pedals like wahs and expression pedals, which makes them more comfortable to access and use.

I made my own. used an extra bookshelf slat that I didnt use, put some velcro on it and the bottom of my pedals. good to go...cost me $10 for the velcro....oh and $28 for the Snark daisy chain power supply....done

This. You can get a real sense of satisfaction when you diy. Slap some no skid feet on the bottom. You can probably get them at Wal mart too but I think I got mine from home depot. I also put a 1" thick strip of wood underneath the top edge to tilt it towards me, spray painted it black and velcro ed the daisy chain's power supply under it beside the "riser strip". Also used gaffer tape to hold all the cables between pedals down. Looks nice and neat and wasn't very expensive.
