Whos got a GRANDEEEEE? You got pics of it filled?
Looks like the only board that will fit all myy pedals. I got a FM4 and a DL4/volume and a wah and they take up a ton of space. Without them i can roll a pro but i think id rather have one big one than two medium ones.
dont wanna drop 360 till i get some more info. thanks

lol. that shits is BANANAS.
........ if Mono made a case for it i'd think about it. but i hate the hard cases PT makes and don't even want to THINK about how heavy it is full and without a soft case like Mono's.
YOU GOT ROADIES SON? I'M SO DAMN JELLY.

http://pedaltrain.com/products/pedalboards/pedaltrain_grande.phpI feel like three pt-2's or two pro's would work better as far as portability is concerned, unless you gots the gear van.

a van is key to everything.
one big board is much less bs then two, as in, if you have your setup down then it's: power, in and out and you are done... then you have to help your drummer find all his crap though...

True, very true, also drummers-so many pieces it's crazy, and a bag for every single one!

yeah, having been a drummer in a band traveling for shows, they've got the roughest spot, by far. until roadies, at least...
i just filled a pro and am frustrated i didn't go for it w/ the grande. will be getting one eventually... to add to the pro, not to replace.
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

eh, yeah, that wouldn't be bad but it WOULD put it a bit more up off the floor...

it isn't the weight it the needless nonsense which is why when this came out I was temped but ended up getting a 40X20 case board and built a self for it instead

It's very old topic that has been around since pedal trains have been around which is why build a case for the things that act like a bigger gig bag instead of something that can part of the board it's self which would add advantages to not only setup time but also protecting all the cabling and power unit under the board would not be exposed to things like beer floods [unless one was dropped on the actual board] and if you don't want added height you could just pull off the feet

I've actually had some issues with my case...One of the hinges busted and I've had to re-rivet all the corner protectors. I mean, I've not put it through any unusual amount of abuse, but it seems like general loading/unloading and a couple flights shouldn't have caused that much stuff to fall off...
Regardless, I'd much rather have the hard case! Completely full, it weighs 75 pounds or so...Not too strenuous!
