schmidt array pedal boards

these things seem totally awesome...I'm looking at the 450 model...anyone actually use one of these? I don't have a very large anount of pedals, so I'm thinking the smaller footprint won't be an issue...I'm running a b7k, a couple SA pedals, a boss delay, an ebs Sheehan, tuner, mxr compressor...that's about it...the only other pedals I might add are a midi mouse and a hub...slightest possibility of a filter, but a few of these pedals, I don't mess with and I could just put under the second tier...nifty looking system, just curious what the general opinion is, I've only seen mention of the name in the breeder's thread...

 

yeah, they're pricey...I see it this way, though, the one I found cost the same as my b7k, and I don't see myself going beyond the capacity of a board that size...there are only a couple of tones I go after

 

even though they have all of those clicky things, you can buy them for $3 -$10 at lowe's, they're called ball catches, and the hinges they use are the flush hinges you can get at lowe's for about $4...if you're a DIY'er, you could probably pull of a home build for not a whole lot, but I suck at building things...so..

 

I've tried building things before...my dad is a carpenter for fun/electrician by trade and I've tried to help with his projects thinking I might be able to pick something up...i've used all those components before in a cabinet door, same hinges and ball catches, that's how I recognized them...been trying to convince him to build bass stuff, he won't do it...I certainly can't :-/

 

yeah, my dad is the same way, he can build anything...I break most things...hey, man, do it up next year!

 

well, I should have it by the end of the week, looking forward to actually not having my pedals wandering around the floor like they've got no place to be

 

SO, I just have to put this out there for anyone interested in buying anything from Schmidt Array..

I got my SA450 yesterday for Christmas, and what an amazing pedalboard it is - i picked it out of the hot deals section, so i got a good price on it to begin with...and then, a bump in the road...

i had a family emergency come up at the last minute and they helped me out - i have been in constant contact with Martyn at Schmidt Array the entire time

after all the smoke clears, it arrived at my house in like, two days! there were some other circumstances that allowed that to happen, but it was turned around very quickly

when i opened it, i didn't even notice right away that the bottom deck wasn't in the box, but that wasn't a mistake of Schmidt Array, as I said before, it was from the deals section, so there were some other circumstances surrounding the purchase...i emailed them last night and he emailed back right away and he told me that he is going to clear this up urgently

So, bottom line, this is a super high quality pedalboard and their customer service is amazing...Schmidt Array hasn't been brought up on TB very many times, and when it is brought up, the price is, too...i wanted to say that if anyone is interested in these products, and you have the money, i think they're worth it, and if you need to interface with them for any of your needs, they're extremely easy to talk to and they treat you very well...

 

especially if you need something...if you don't need something, it doesn't matter what the customer service is like, but if you do, it makes all the difference in the world...I was getting amazing service from these folks before I even paid a dime into their product...

 

hey! I still have it and it’s been holding up great, awesome board! It’s loaded up with 10 boss pedals at the moment
