What do you use to prevent 'em from bouncing out when you hit a bump, Nora?

+1 the tool box. I like the old wooden kind, open on top, with the handle in the middle.

Thanks for the responses! I really need to solve this intelligently and I appreciate the input.

How far are you going?

What method of transportation?
Perhaps as many as a dozen pedals but usually more like half a dozen. I drive my shitbanger Toyota 10 or so miles North for various practices and about 35 miles South for Infinite Flux practice. I like the idea of a toolbox or suitcase or something but the partitions would be best if they were easily movable because it's not always the same pedals I'm bringing around. I had a BBQ and somebody left a fancy insulated Whole Foods bag here. I found that thing in a cupboard yesterday so I have upgraded from paper at least!

I started this thread because my paper bag busted and all these pedals spilled out all over my front steps. I'm usually a very careful and conscientous dude so I felt like the biggest idiot ever born and it sucked real hard :0(

Put your patch cables down in your shorts and you are good to go. The only question is, are you willing to look like a silly ass for them holy tones? :idk:
I already look like a sillyass so nobody'd know the difference!

Whoah that's awesome! I'm glad you can dig the sound! I may be biased here but I agree that it is the best one knob fuzz ever and it's at least partially because it's not a Meathead like everybody else's one knob fuzz.

I'm sure a guy on the bus or just walking around a city with a guitar bag and an ammo can isn't going to alarm anyone....

Hay man this is an open carry state!

OK, in that case, I'm gonna suggest something like this:

Carry your loose pedals with class!

(No, but seriously, I think a cheap plastic toolbox with adjustable compartments sounds good in this application.)

Shiet. I like that. You could probably roll the thing up even with a couple rows of pedals in it and stuff it in a tool box. Just label the pockets.
