pedalboard (SKB, etc)

[adil]

Well I read that pedalboard stuff should be discussed here rather than effects.

I acquired some pedals (they're being delivered). I'm not sure what is the advantage of having a pedalboard for them. I mean, that SKB PS-45 thing which you only need to plug it to a wall, and it will power all your pedals looks convenient, but for $229, I can't afford it now. Some of the cheaper things don't power your pedals or they have padded bags which don't sound like a good idea.

What I don't understand is it can power the pedals "with 500 mA." So, if my pedal needs a different mA, like 300 or 800, will it not work? Sorry I suck at electricity.

Also, it has four effects loops. What is an effects loop?

It doesn't say anything about velcro. Do I have to put some sticky stuff on the bottom of my pedals? I don't like that idea.

Have you found it a pain in the butt to simply use 9V batteries for all your pedals and/or have no board to put them on? Just curious to know how more experienced people deal with these issues. Eventually, I will have like 3 stompboxes, 1 tuner, and 1 sansamp.

What's the best solution to carry them around and power them?

Thanks so much and don't hate me for being so ignorant.

well I just discovered there's something called a daisy chain? What is it? I think I can use that to power all my pedals and then all I need is maybe a good hardshell case. I could pad the inside of this case, and stuff it with bubble wrap around my pedals. Does that work?

And also, what is this 1-spot combo thing? Is that a daisy chain or different?
