Question:
So I was looking into a DIY pedal board and I came across these guys for rediculously cheap:

Any one have any experience? I found some tips into fixing these things up. One guy suggested buying some hard foam, lining the case with it, and cutting holes for your pedals into the foam. This would give a very neat looking case and all the wires could fit under it. What do you guys think?

Answer:
No one? These things look like a freakin steal! The only thing I don't like is that i'd have to figure out a discreet way to power it and have lines running out but that seems like a small price to pay. No one has heard anything about these?
Answer:
There was another thread about this just a week ago. You might try looking back to get more opinions. As for myself, I used to have one of the larger ones and it is a great deal for the money. Be warned though, it will not handle the kind of abuse regular road travel will put on it. Also, the felt bottom does come loose pretty easily, but thats not a huge deal. Overall, if you need a cheap pedalboard and you're not traveling with it a lot, these things are perfect.
Answer:
I just bought one about a week ago. So far I love it. It IS aluminum....albeit very thin. But it holds up well enough...I currently have 5 pedals, my RP 150, and my footswitch in it, and it doesn't feel like it's gonna fall apart when I carry it. I wouldn't reccoment chucking it down the stairs tho....u might not like what's left when it hits the bottom.
In other words: +1 to PianoMan....good buy...just don't abuse it.
Answer:
They are light, thin, and easy to carry. Not bend proof or throw proof, but they are good for people like me who only need an efficient way to carry them and a way to keep them organized.
They are a good deal, but if you plan on abusing them (like throwing em on a trailer haha) spend the money and get a Pedal Train.
