Hadn't seen this before, probably picking it up at the end of January.

Seems like the best deal I've seen so far when it comes to pedalboards. In terms of space it has the same area as the Pedaltrain 3, which costs an extra Â£50 and comes with just a softcase. It has WHEELS. And plenty of space for power supplies and stuff underneath.

That looks like a great option, I much prefer that style of pedal board too - mainly from an aesthetic point of view but I'm sure they're practical.

Excellent bit of kit for the price. Be good to see a review

Blimey! That looks great. Might be time to upgrade the 3-year-old (and falling apart) Gator board...

Ordered it. I'll post something about it when it comes. I currently have a Diago Showman and whilst it does it the job, I'm interested to see if this is decent. I mean it has a 30 day money back guarantee on it so if it's build like shit then I can always send it back.

Wow! It's got wheels and everything. It's a little on the small size, but this looks a nice piece of kit. I remember 5-10 years ago the only pedalboard option you could buy was that floppy Electro Harmonix bag.

Yeah I think it looks pretty nice myself. The only thing I'm worried about is the fact that the actual casing looks a little plasticky and my previous board, which was made of similar material, started to fall apart over time. Saying that it's only the casing and not the actual board so it should be okay.

The Diago is robust as hell but the idea of having a better cable management system like this, combined with the fact it has pedaltrain style options for much less is pretty cool. I'm just wondering how the mounting system for the adaptor is going to work.

Well it's on it's way!
