Pedaltrain Doesn't Have Holes-- What Now?

Why not just run the power cable out the side? Maybe cable tie it in place aswell so its only just sticking out? Not the prettiest, but thats what i would do

 

Maybe you have a manly friend with a drill?

 

This would be my reply too. Buy the man a burger and a beer for his troubles.
Any guy with a drill is always looking for another excuse to put it to use.
Drill, eat, drink, then play bass

 

:scowl:

Find a power tool store that rents equipment. Ask to borrow the drill with a carbide-tipped bit for 5 minutes.

 

Drill. It's easy enough, you just need the right bits. That's what I did.

If you don't use the courtesy outlet, you really only need to drill one hole. However, it may be a good idea to just drill both out so you're not in this predicament later on down the road when you do need it.

 

This is what I did with my PT-Pro. I have mine cable tied under the board off-center to the left so that the power receptacle is accessible and the power cord sticks out from the right side of the center post where it is connected to a power strip also zip tied to the bottom of the board. I think I have like 4 zip ties around the PP2+ so that it stays in place. I used to have a PT-2 and I think it had the same front, though I may be mistaken, it's been a while. You can kind of see it here:

 

It's really easy to do. Heck if you get a drill and want me to talk you through it on the phone or Facetime, let me know.

 

Isn't a drill part of a man's dowry?

 

I was going to suggest drilling it yourself. I can't imagine not owning a drill. Surely someone you know has a drill. If not wander on to a studio lot and ask the guy who build sets to drill a couple holes for you.

 

big enough to pass the largest part of the power cable through.

 

If you buy a drill I recommend this one.
I bought it just for this sort of thing, and drilling pedal enclosures.
It works great, isn't expensive, and you don't have to worry about power and batteries.

Remember, measure twice, drill once.

 

If drilling isn't up your alley, you could get some of that super-industrial-strength velcro and attach the brick under the board that way. Someone here did exactly that with a Fuel Tank Jr. under their PT board. It's in the PT Mini or PT Nano threads someplace.

 

Drill, baby, drill!

 

If he did that, the holes for the power cable would be blocked and inaccessible.
