50 pound pedal board!!!!

Sign in to disble this ad
Ok, so as a bass player who has used a 14 pedal board set up before I can respect wanting to have a pedal board that was tough and road worthy. But my guitard took this to the next level. A level that no one should ever reach. He built a pedal board out of STEEL!!!! SOLID FREAKIN" STEEL. Without any pedals it has to be between 25 and 35 pounds. I would say that its going to weigh 50 pounds with the pedals attached.

What worries me most, is if this fool uses it on stage I may break my foot on this huge P.O.S while rocking out. This is the most impractical thing I have ever seen.

Now he is onto building an isolation container for his crappy Peavey practice amp instead of using the plugins he was given that sound great. And guess what this iso-cab is being made of........ You guessed it, STEEL. So it will weigh a ton and reverberate and be a big hunk of crap.


Thought I would share that.
