Pedal boards

Apart from pedaltrain what other pedal boards do you guys like and recommend?

The ones by Warwick are great.

I've got a Stagg one. If I was going to tour the world I'd want something sturdier, but for casual gigging they're fine, and don't cost much. If you need a mahoosive one you're out of luck too- mine is the biggest size they have, and it's about 70cm x 30cm.

I think the pedaltrain boards are starting to price themselves out of the market now i.e. competitors are coming in cheaper now. Even the expensive modular Temple Audio systems seem better value for money now

Then there's Mono, who appear to think Pedaltrain are too cheap

I only thought they did cases (I have one) ? Great cases except the weak point I found at the strap. Pull it side ways and it rips the case

The Palmer Pedalbays are brilliant. Very similar to the Pedaltrain but more adjustable and considerably cheaper. Gear 4 Music have them in the UK or Thomann

I just bought a pedalbay 60, case is not quite as good as a pedaltrain but the whole thing is half the price of a PT2 ! The Thomann version is even cheaper. Temple Audio stuff looks great if you have a higher budget and then there's the wooden boards if you want something nice looking for home.

The innox pb01 is apparently identical to the palmer ones and is £32 at bax-shop for the 60cm x 30cm one. It looks great although not sure what case options there are.

Depends what you're after. I've always found Custom Pedalboards are excellent build quality and any size you want. I have a large one and two small ones.

CPB here too.

I've never used them but have heard good things about Pedal Deck UK. They're British made and similar to Pedaltrain with arguably some nice design improvements.

What about @dindude ? His smorgasbord bonds are fantastic and the new hardcase looks the biz!

After having a hard case for my Pedaltrain 2 I'll never get one again. It weighed a ton when all the pedals were on etc. Been trying to get in contact with Temple Audio pedalboards but they don't answer their email. Doesn't bode well

Trust me, finding the right case drove me to distraction, for this reason and others - but you won't find a lighter (and better looking) hard case I'm pretty certain.

My mate had that happen on a brand new case - kicked up a fuss direct with Mono and with their social media accounts, and they sent him a replacement. However, they clearly have a design flaw in that area. Disappointing considering the cost.

Well it was new last June. However this happened last Xmas so not much to go back with really. Other than that it gives just as much protection as a hard case but being lighter. So I'm still happy with it once the annoyance wore off ..... last week

I love the Palmer Pedalbays and the Warwick Rockboards. Also the Warwick patch cables are incredibly small, worth a look.

Just googled and they've disappeared by the looks of it, sounds great is flogging their last pedal bags.

I'm really interested in the Aclam Smart Track boards. That Modular system looks great; you can set it up so you have a mini board as part of a larger board that you can just lift out. On the look out for one; but not many around second hand at all.

When my Pedaltrain JR got stolen, I replaced it with the Warwick one. There an ok copy I suppose. But the case isn't very good.
