Pedaltrain Novo 32 SC

Great product! Before I bought it I used the planning website : was fairly ok - didn't have every pedal. Anyhow, it gave a good idea of what to plan for visually.

I also made a cardboard cutout ( from my last thomann delivery boxes ! ), in the novo 24 and 32 sizes to allow me to physically plan around it with real pedals.

When the product arrived it felt very sturdy, and there was just enough velco adhesive backed tape to fill the board - so be careful with it as there is not much to spare.

Had it a week now and am very happy so far, all pedals fit inside the soft case, I didn't want to spend the extra on the hard case as I am only occasionally gigging.

This is a great pedalboard made by the best manufacturer of pedalboards on the market right now! I like the Novo range as the pedalboard bars are closer together so your pedals get better connection to the board. There is plenty of space on the board for the semi pro/professional musician but it still feels reasonably portable and not quite as huge and OTT as the Pedaltrain Classic Pro. I have installed a Powertrain 1250 power supply underneath (which was fiddly and required drilling holes), but now all looks neat and tidy. I am running a Carl Martin Octaswitch 2 along with 9 other pedals, and there was plenty of room. The new improved soft case gives better protection than the previous version and is fairly lightweight (which was why I bought this rather than the hardcase version). Overall a great purchase!

This pedalboard is my favourite choice of pedal desks. It's very light and very comfortable for handling all your stuff. The new series became a little bit different construction. Larger number of lines gives the ability to locate more pedals in a different ways. It's also able to setup some small little pedal such as Polytune Mini for example. Construction made comfortable for locating power supply in the middle and wherever you want on the bottom, which is very usefull for power-plugging your pedals. Soft case and straps are also very comfotable to transport it. You can hang it on your shoulder and take a couple guitars in your hands. That's a simple funny thing, but for me it's very helpfull, as I don't have to went twice to my car before soundcheck or gig. It also very pleasent that all accessories comes inside. Velcro tape and carpet for it. Recommend it without any doubts for all guitar pedal maniacs. Couldn't find any negatives for me.

The board is great. It is big enough to fit a lot of pedals and no cables and wires are visible because they can be mounted on the bottom side, thus making your rig very sexy.
It has two cons though:
1) In order for the switches of the pedals in the front to be foot accessible, you have to buy the PBK, PB1 etc. The cost of these is quite high for the purpose they serve. Moreover, once you have them installed, the board can no longer fit in the gigbag, and you have to buy or build another case.
2) No pockets for cables and power supply adaptors.You have to carry an extra bag/case for them

The pedalboard is sturdy and not so heavy by comparison with other, similarly sized, pedalboards. Arranging pedal around is quite easy.
But, two defects:
1. the bag is poorly made. After one week of use, the nut that retains the safety hook to the strap got distended and fell off. So the pedalboard fell off from my shoulder. I tightened the nut, but after one week the nut fell off again (with the pedalboard). So I have to change the strap. Other straps (e.g. Harley Benton for the similar model) are not made the same, the metallic part which holds the safety hook to the stap is in one bloc, so much sturdier. Also, the foam handle tends to get unsewn from the handle itself.
2. Minor, but still an issue, the velcro stays well in place on the pedalboard, but not under pedals. Most of the time, the glue is not strong enough to resist a couple of un-fastening. As a result, the velcro (supposedly glued to the pedal) stays fasten to the pedalboard.
Really mixed feelings.
