Holy shit, that's horrible. I am so sorry.

Yeah, way back in the day, we had a series of practice room incidents - once it flooded because the pipes burst, and my 70's P-bass was completely submerged for days (shockingly, it survived without much damage beyond the lacquer on the fingerboard), though a bunch of other stuff was ruined. Another time my 4-track was stolen out of the practice space, and it had all of the master cassettes of four years of bands with it in the box.

But it's been a long while since something of that magnitude. So, so sorry.

Dude that sucks
We once had a dispute with a practice space owner and I lost a mixer two Kustom 4x12 cabs 15s and Horns monitors PA amps and such
A few parts guitars and a couple older pedals
it really really sucked
basically he said he was missing a 10inch crate PA speaker from another studio and locked everything up and made it impossible to get things back

also: a few years back my entire board sank in a flood- found it under 3 feet of muddy water, only lost a few pedals though, rice and head an patience paid off.

that was a sick setup with all the line6 jank and such, sad to see it go

Where you located? Want to know if I should keep my eyes on local craigs

"All my shit was stolen :("

"But what are you gonna replace it with?"

You can add a foot switch ton control a bunch of different features
I have mine programed to go to the tuner out
to downscroll presets (cause you can't otherwise)
and to use the flex function all the time

opens up the pedal a ton especially live

This is why its so important to have renter's insurance. One year ago someone smashed the window on my car and stole my Pedaltrain Jr. out of the back seat. It had about $1000 in pedals on it that were less than a week old. I suspect the thief thought the board was a laptop and they probably just threw it in the trash as soon as they saw that it wasn't. Im almost 100% certain my pedals are buried in a landfill somewhere now.

Renter's insurance paid for the loss and I managed to get all new gear and upgrade to the hardcase version of the pedaltrain board in the process. Had to pay out of pocket for the glass loss though. This was the board:

Guh. Big feels for you man.
And all you dudes that have had stuff stolen.

If you find them, slit their throats.


Sorry, gear theft is just sickening to me. There are some low acts and I understand that most thieves are desperate people but to steal from musos, because we're usually broke as all fuck, is just too far over the line.

Shit, that sucks. Made me go through the scenario of "what if this happened to me". :no: I like your idea for your new board though, good that you're moving on. It's just stuff, after all. Delicious, noisemaking stuff... :cry:

That's why I generally don't gig with a lot of my more beloved pedals. if anything I would have a small board that just fits the set-list I'm playing, that way I can keep an eagle eye on it. :idk:
