At the blues jam I host on Sundays at Ziggies in Denver, some schmo dumped a full glass of beer into my pedal board and didn’t bother to tell me about it. When I got up to play the last set my pedals were a sticky mess and the wireless was cutting out.
The pedal board I was using was the Boss BCB-60, a big plastic clamshell case with foam in the bottom. The pedals just sat there marinating in the beer all night. (Yes, I know it was a mistake to leave it there. Lesson learned.)
I had a complaint about the big Boss board: It took up too much stage real estate. So after the beer douche episode I decided to order the Pedaltrain Junior pedal board with the soft case; about $100.
This is better. It is more compact and takes up less space. The soft case is easy to carry and has a pouch for cables and stuff. And any liquid spilled on the pedals will drain off. The Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2+ power supply mounts up under the board, out of the way.
In the photo above the board is sitting in the open soft case, but on stage I remove it from the case and put it next to my amp. Anybody wanna buy a used Boss BCB-60 pedal board, complete with Roland power supply and patch cables? Smells slightly of beer. Make offer.
