pedal-train GRANDE

[behndy]

yah. a case like what Lyteboard's make is pretty pimp.

i agree too... if i was gigging all the time and traveling bunches i'd probably want a hard case. but right now we can JUST fit all our gear and the two of us in my drummer's smaller SUV.

we're still looking for a trailer though.

and hardshell cases are totally worth the weightlifting IMO if you're getting out & playing shows much. softcases = way bigger lazy risk of what's inside getting hurt.

true but I wish they would design the damneded things better. The board should just sit in the "lid" and you just lift off the "bottom" and you are ready to go, not this "take the board out of the case, set up, put it back in the case crap

Ditto. I've taken this thought to its ultimate logical consequence and velcroed my guitar to the bottom of the case. I just can't be arsed getting it out and putting it back in.

An acquaintance on mine had one for a while. This was his loaded.

Thanks, that looks like its about the right size..



My original plan was to buy a bunch of roadcase making materials and just make a all in one case board to fit my shit and id never have to pull it out the case. I was gunna use some fancy ass wood too with a fancy stain and fancy everything. BUT some problems have arose that make that kind of a non possibility. I got 3 PP2 + almost maxed out, and more on the wish list, id hate to run out of space so I think ill just get the giant fucker and deal with the size. Honestly Im not playing out anytime soon anyway, band kind of died.

ill hire a sherpa though when the time comes to move the thing.

Does anyone know how many pedal power supply mounting brackets it comes with? THeres no info on that anywhere. id assume at least one if not 2.


never mind, comes with 2, saw a pic on sweetwater with all the goodies in it.

Fuck it it will be here thursday, gotta stock up on twisties and zip ties! Need to make a bunch of patch cables too. money totally buys happiness.

I don't have a hard case, but can't you just use it upside down? Have your board resting on the lid instead of in the casey bit. ??
What I like about pedal train compared to a lyte board (or whatever) is the additional shock protection you get by not having your pedals mounted to the case.

I've got shit loads of cable ties under mine to try and max the beer protection factor and get everything up off the floor.

Oh yeah. Grande!! Nice one wizard dude.

You might want a mini-staircase or platform to stand on to get to the back row. Can't wait to see it all filled up, post a pic when its all set up!

[The Wood Wizard]

WHOO YEAH SO PUMPED.

Go over to Redco.. Aren't they like down the street from you?

[The Wood Wizard]

It's really not that bad. The Grande is the same depth as the Pro and the PT-3, both of which I have, and it's not hard reaching the top row.
