Suggestions for a pedalboard case for M13 and other stompboxes

Right now I am currently building my pedalboard rig. So far here is what I've got:

M13

2 Ernie Ball jr VP's

Vox Satchurator

Eventide Pitch Factor

Possible add ons later:

TC voicelive 2 floor processor

Another ernie ball VP

I'm looking for a pedalboard case that will have enough room to house all the pedals i've got so far, and then also the possible add ons.

Does anyone have any recommendations that I can check out??

If i can't find something, I might just make one from plywood and lining it with duratuft carpet...................anyone know where i can get the duratuft carpet??

Re: Suggestions for a pedalboard case for M13 and other stompboxes

Have a look at mine. We have a few similarities. I'd recommend making your own (as I did). It was a lot of fun and I didn't have to make any sacrifices. I used the Planet Waves custom cable kit and was really happy with it.

  I bought a couple of pedalboards from Rondo music that I haven't seen anyone else carry (they have them on ebay). They were cheap. They flex a bit but they're not too flimsy. I do hand-carry, light-duty gigs. They're nowhere near road cases but I wouldn't hesitate to put them inside road cases and use them as they are or use them to hold a homemade plywood board. The M13 fits perfectly inside of one of them - and it's bolted in - on top of my rack. I have the short-side of the case - not the way you'd have a pedalboard - facing me with a mixer and a few gadgets behind it. Perfect - and really cheap! Bolting the M13 to it added rigidity to it and it feels quite solid now. The one that holds my FCB would fit an M13 and a bunch of other toys.

    Yeah,. I use the "huge" case from Rondo (http://www.rondomusic.com/pdc410h.html). It does feel crappy, but has help up for over a year now. Nothing too rough, just packing stuff in and out of my own car once or twice a week. I keep waiting for it to fall apart, but it's just as solid---or as flimsy---as it was the day I got it. If you're looking for something cheap, it'll work.

I've had this guy build me 2 different pedalboards in the last 5 years. The cases are very durable, mine have been through everything. Not to expensive for a quality product.

Mine right now is holding, ernieball volume, crybaby, tubescreamer, mxr zw, m13 and 2 boss fv-500 expression pedals.

http://www.google.com/products?q=messenger+laptop+bags+17+inch&hl=en&lnk=pruser&price1=10&price2=20
I just bought a padded messenger/laptop bag that will fit a 17" laptop get a 19" one if you want more room. The 17" fits the M13 perfectly on the sides not too tight though and plenty of depth and width and pockets for cords and accessories and the adapter. I bought mine for $20 at a shop in NYC . It's a bit of a no brainer. There's a link of bags comparable to what I got on top.

  Height of pedaltrain is 3,5, m13 is 3, does that work out for you? What would you see as good alternatives(I of course need the heigt for my m13, but not so much width as you do...)
  The other pedaltrains ain't high enough

Re: Suggestions for a pedalboard case for M13 and other stompboxes

Have you checked out the Gator Gig Box Original?

I use one of these with my wireless unit, 2 Ernie Ball VP Jr's and a Boss FV500H as well as a Korg Pitchblack tuner...

I've attached a pic of my set up...

The other cool thing about it is - the lid pops off and has an integrated guitar stand that holds 3 Elec & 1 Acoustic Guitars!

It has wheels and a handle for easy transport... Here's a link:

Re: Suggestions for a pedalboard case for M13 and other stompboxes

If you poke around you may be able to snag a Pedaltrain Pro for about $119. It is solid,. light, and durable. It will outlast you and two lifetimes. Add a Voodoo Labs PP2 or a ModTone Power Plant and you have power for your pedals and the M13. Just be sure to plug the M13 into the courtesy outlet.

Re: Suggestions for a pedalboard case for M13 and other stompboxes

I have a military mortar crate that fits the M13 and the expression pedal very well. It's also cool because it says "Danger:Explosives" on it, so folks won't mess with it. Seriously, look at a military surplus store. I can also put cords on top of the M13 and fit my Boosta Grande in it as well. Very sturday and doesn't get moved around.
