Custom Pedalboards

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm in the market for a custom pedalboard. So far I've found 2 companies that are close to what I want.

Trailer Trash Pedalboards
www.trailertrashpedalboards.com

They're pretty cool looking, and seem very functional, but they're a bit pricey.

Black Bird Pedalboards
www.blackbirdpedalboards.com

They have more custom options available, and the Wah Wedge is a cool feature... but I don't like the fact that you can see the seem in the tolex across the middle of the board. I know this is being very picky.

Can anybody else provide links to any other good companies?

I really like those Trailer Trash & Black Bird boards. Honestly, the Black Bird's seem like a better value.

I've been touring hard with one of these: http://www.showcasecases.com/OurProd...PedalBoard.htm
I can vouch for the construction & durability!

wow, those BlackBird boards are very pretty. They remind me of a sushi platter. The power and in/out jacks are nice features too.
Simple design though. Have you thought of just building one yourself?

Tho board part is always simple, it's coming up with a durable and relatively lightweight case that is the challenge when diy'ing!

I considered it.. but it will look like crap. I want something professional and clean looking.

I was originally going to get one, but I don't like the carpeted case. I know I'm picky, but if I'm spending money on something I want it to look cool too.

I built an awesp,e board/case for under $50. It might be a little heavy, but I like to call that sturdy and durable. Totally worth it!

I second the DIY idea.

In the bottom, you can see mine. Two tier to allow just the stomp portion of the pedal to stick out and keep floor space minimal. There's even a hole through the top and bottom so that you can stick a mic stand in it (so useful for clubs).



I can't wait to free up some time to re-build it and make it look a bit better with the added hinges to attach a lid for easy transport.
