Pedaltrain Metro 16 SC

Hi guys

I bought this one because I wanted to go small.
Few pedals, lightweight-board, easy transportation and handling.

I knew that power-supply is an issue due to the "Metros" flat design. I did not want to buy any flat battery-supplies nor some fancy extra-flat und therefore extra expensive supply.

Solution? Rise this thing! (one side is enough)

Take a drill of 5 - 10mm and remove two feet along the side, you are going to attach your power-supply;
Take two big rubber-feet (for example Adam Hall 38x33mm) and attach them with self-tapping screws. Within 5 minutes you are done. Do not be afraid of these big looking feet, after they are fixed you won't even notice them. The board has now a very gentile and comfy angle.

Now there should be enough space for most of the bulky power-supplies and other stuff (patch-box etc).

I bought a Harley Benton PowerPlant Junior, a superb and cheap one, attached it with 3M Low Profile DualLock - set and forget.

Use 3M DualLock (low profile) to attach all your pedals, especially the tiny ones - it is worth it!!!

------- Now this Pedaltrain Metro is awesome! Thumbs up! -------

It's a bit ridiculous, but my bandmates and I operated for many years without each having a pedal board such as this. We would simply lay out our pedals before each gig, hook them up to each other manually and hope they didn't get disconnected at any point during the show.

These pedalboards changed everything. It's a huge relief to be able to just pull your pedalboard out of the bag, plug in power, hook up your input and output cable and be done!

It's surprising how much you can pack onto a single pedalboard like this. The only complaint I have is that the bag it comes with is not very thick/deep. Because of this, some of my larger pedals (Line 6 DL4, wah-wah pedal) do not fit comfortably in the bag. If I arrange things correctly I can squeeze things in, but it is a serious struggle. If the bag were a bit bigger, this would work very well.

That said, i bought the thing for the pedalboard, not for the bag. I would recommend this product, I'm quite happy with it overall.

Ik kocht de Pedaltrain voor een beperkt aantal pedalen. (Ik houd het graag simpel.) De constructie is sterker dan ik verwachtte en netjes afgewerkt. Er zit meer dan voldoende tape bij om de pedalen te bevestigen. De Cioks DC5 voeding past perfect aan de onderkant van het bord. (De rubber nopjes moeten er wel eerst afgehaald en met de bijgeleverde schroefjes vastgemaakt worden.)
De tas voelt degelijk aan en voldoet aan mijn eisen. Ik zou wel niet beginnen gooien met de tas. Ze biedt wel een beetje bescherming, maar voor het betere gooiwerk zou ik toch opteren voor een degelijke koffer.
Het enige wat ik een beetje mis zijn zelfklevende plaatjes met lusjes om de bekabeling aan de onderkant keurig vast te maken.

Every single band practice I would have to take a bag full of numerous pedals (overdrive, fuzz, delay, tuner and power supply) plus leads and cables. Would spend about 15 minutes setting up my rig which made my band mates pretty cheesed off.

So I have this Pedaltrain pedal board. Arrived oh so quickly as well! They come in numerous sizes and I needed one to fit around 5-6 pedals on. When I got this one there was no space for my power supply underneath (like the larger boards in the series) but thankfully (the Harley Benton PP Jr) is so small it just managed to fit on top.

A doddle to put together, just use the provided velcro and attach your pedals in the desired order - the hassle of plugging in all my effects has now gone. May need to upgrade to a larger one in the very near future but at least I know where to go now. The case is dead handy too!
