Review 3/05/2008 PedalTrain Pedal Board http://www.pedaltrain.com
Introduction
The PedalTrain pedal board is the most impressive piece of gear I have reviewed and may end up wining the 2008 AMG best pick award. The consideration is very much a reality. Why? This board has it all, durability, quality construction, excellence in design and function. The company it's self is top notch and they believe in their product line. Speaking of the product line, I'm reviewing the Pro series however there are other boards that fit every need from the guy with a few to the guy with a slew. I recommend the one I was sent the Pedaltrain Pro.
Pedaltrain Pro
Top of the line touring rig with a stronger center reinforced frame design, more
space underneath to mount power supplies and power strips. It comes in an ATA
rated flight case with pro hardware, lockable latches and low profile wheels on
one and for effortless transport. The interior storage compartment is separated
by a solid divider wall. World travelers rejoice, it is worthy!
Reviewer: Gary Housley
The Pedaltrain Pro is the best of the line with its large capacity and extremely durable flight case. The flight case is top of the line and can take the beating it will get on the road or at your local gig. When I think flight I think of the case falling out of the back of a truck going 35 miles and hour and surviving it. I just may test that theory and post it in a video soon. The formed padding inside the case gives it some shock protection so I wouldn’t worry about damage. I have stood on the frame and jumped up and down on it and even a 220 lb. man cannot bend or break it this way. You could through this thing up in the air as hard as you can onto any surface and it will still be good to go but I dont recomend anyone do that, I think I will ina video coming out soon but warn others to not attempt to copy anything I do in the video.
The way the rails are designed is such a way that allows you to hide the cables giving you a nice slick top side presentation. Combined with a PedalSnake you have the ultimate foot controlled rig.
The company is easy to deal with and backs up their product with a guarantee. You simply cannot ask for a better board or expect any other board to compare to this one.
The Pedaltrain gets an aoverall rating of, five out if five stars *****!
