No, not your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches...

...but those of you with NYC "Lunchbox" Pedalboards, or similar compact pedalboards/cases. I'm GAS-ing for something really transportable to take to gigs.

(Yes, I know i can use the search function - and have also - but I thought it might be "neat" to collect the pics in the same thread...)

Thanks!

The FX25 should be pretty normal, says 1983 on the sticker inside, I think early in the year. The mysterious black box is an AMZ mosfet booster... I love the thing.

I'm liking the Pine Green an lot, but I really don't have much experience with compressors to give a really educated review. It was kind of an impulse buy to try something new after an night of reading on here and thinking about grabbing a compulator... I'll try and get to posting a thread about it this evening though, but for now I've put off studying for long enough. (I know, its pretty exciting :rolleyes:)

I don't want to derail this thread too much though, and I want to see some more lunchboxes!

Home-made pedalboard. Made of 1/8" aluminum, punched, formed, and corners welded (at work) and painted (oven/fireplace flat black). Speaker enclosure carpet/fabric glued on top and pedals velcro'd. Took off the rubber footings on the pedals to make velcro stick on good. For now, it's just a plain 18 gauge aluminum screwed on for its lid.

Where do you find them? Is there a website?

Invalid Link Removed are the distributor.

While they say that they have pedals, you still need to ask. They put you on a waiting list.
I have owned my Blue Berry for over a year and have still never heard of another batch. Bongo isn't kidding when he says slow, small batches. There have only ever been 70 or so built.

Also, you see the odd Pine Green on ebay now and then. They are new, not second hand. Most BJF effects sell around the $400 mark somewhere.

Nice board. Wouldn't have guessed it was DIY though, it looks really well put together.

Thanks. I still have to drill some holes to hide all the cables inside the board. Future mod: 1/4" plexiglass lid underneath and blue fluorescent lighting (as seen in most computer cases) that would shine through underneath which would highlight the bottom edges of the board.
