I ve made myself a suitcase pedalboard , i knew few people like Robert that had made it , so I decided to make myself one ..It s not finish yet , got to paint it.

Cost me about $65.00 suitcase, velcro, wood ,adapter etc.. & i tried it at last night gig.Works find & took me 10 minutes to install my gears ..For now my Big Boss Gt 8 is in effects loops for modelling effects(except chorus ) and the pedals drive the pre amp..Eventually i m gonna get some other pedals to replace the Gt 8 ..

Thats it folks !

Looks good Blazes. However, you stick around here and you will be needing a bigger suitcase.

Nice job.

Great job there Blazes! Strum's right though, hang around and you will need a bigger suitcase. Ain't that right DVM?

If I remove the Boss Gt 8 , I have two rows of additional pedals ..

Looks good! Does the velcro work well so far? Do you put foam in when you close it up?

Yes , the velcro does work well ,i bought a large one, 2'' wide .Didn t work on the foam yet but i will.I carry the Gt 8 in another bag and install it in the pedalboard if necessary.Like i said before there s place for other stuff in the futur .This is a simple pedalbord and efficient for me..

FWIW - when looking for a suitcase for this type of project don't forget to check the secondhand stores. I've gotten three suitcases over the years for $5 or less each.
