GatorCases G-TOUR Series Guitar Pedal board with ATA Road Case, Small: 17" x 11" (G-TOUR PEDALBOARD-SM)

I've been searching for a good pedal board with case for some time. Most of the ones I liked were way out of my budget. I've had alot of gator products in the past and always been impressed with their quality so I was very happy to find the G-TOUR case, an amazing pedal board at an incredible price! Are there some things I would change about it? Yes, but given the outrageous costs of a board with everything on my wishlist, I was prepared to make some compromises. First and foremost I needed a study case that offered top notch protection of my electronics. That immediately narrows the field alot. I didn't want a "gig bag" type pedal carrier. It needed to be a BOX or road case, or at least have that option.WOW, this box is tough! It can definitely withstand abuse. Inside the plywood shell, carpeted in a durable felt are hard foam blocks which center and suspend your pedalboard in the middle of the case. There is an soft eggshell cushion on the top of the case that rests against the pedal controls. There is a MAXimum of 3.5" of clearance from the board to the top of the case closed (see my photos below). It was just enough to fit my ATX converted pedal power supply. I chose to cut out that area of ceiling foam to make it fit better (but it probably didn't need to be (I could close it if I squished it). Here are the ACTUAL usable dimensions of the board:LENGTH 24 inches (You cannot use the aluminum framing because it interferes with the case)DEPTH 11 3/8 inches (if just counting the black space), HOWEVER, if you include the aluminum framing (which doesn't get in the way of the case), you can get 13 1/8 inchesHEIGHT: 3 1/2 inches (Recommend staying below this so you have some "cushion" roomUnder the board there is a large usable space, best suited for cables or perhaps a power strip. Its dimensions are:LENGTH 24 3/4 inchesDEPTH 8 3/4 inches (between the hard foam supportsHEIGHT: 1 3/4 inches (probably not enough to store a spare pedal)Here are the GOOD features:-4 butterfly clasps, heavy duty quality-3 spring loaded handles (can hold like suitcase, flat out when stacking and also to roll)-2 roller wheels accompanied by rubber feet to stand on end if storing as such-All corners reinforced with ball ends-Storage below for cables (see size above)-MEDIUM amount of pedal space (this is not a Large board), so plan accordingly (see size above)-Pedal board with sutble downward angle from rubber casters (these could probably be swapped out if you wanted a steeper angle)-2 slide handles on board which double as extra protection from feet or "stuff above"-Comes with 3M Dual Lock tape (way better than even industrial Velcro), this stuff is awesome for attaching your pedals. They wont go nowhere.-Price for quality is superbHere are the NOT SO GOOD features:-It is not a LARGE board, if you're a pedal maniac this may not be the board for you.-No space under board to mount a power supply. However if you changed the rubber feet to something taller, it could be possible to put a voodoo labs supply under there.-No holes to route wires under board. I was going to rout some out and put wire passthru but I eventually decided I could get a clean enough look with just surface mounting the cables. I am using wire clamps screwed into the board($7 for qty 100). I figured less work, and damage to the board.Sorry for the partially done pictures of the my assembly. There is now a Dunlop wah, Boss CS-3 compressor, Ibanez Tube screamer w/ boost pedal on it now. I'm very happy for how things fit!5 stars, Highly recommend!

If you like having the freedom to throw your pedalboard into the band van and not have to worry about what might land on top of it, this is the pedalboard solution for you. It's important to point out that there are three main pieces here; the top half of the case, the bottom half of the case, and the pedalboard itself. You can remove the pedalboard and use it by itself, or you can leave it in the shallow half of the case, as shown in the product pictures. As a bonus, there's enough room in the shallow half to store cables, picks, sheet music, etc.The downside of this type of pedalboard is that you don't get slots or holes for cable management. I used Single Coaxial Cable Clips (searchable on amazon) with a pre-drilled pilot hole to hold power and audio cables in place, though I've seen other folks using hook & loop solutions. Speaking of hook and loop, the board comes with a small roll of 3M Dual Lock tape. It wasn't enough to do even half of my pedals, and the stuff ain't cheap, so I wish they had included more, but I applaud them for for including something at all.The board is tall enough to fit my TC Electronics Nova System, which was a big concern and as a bonus, it squishes up against the top foam enough that I don't need to tape it down, since it doesn't move with the top on. Bonus.I wouldn't recommend this for a pedalboard that rarely leaves the house. The weight and size are the price you pay for its portability and durability. However, if you've ever watched a piece of gear fall out of an ill-loaded van, you'll appreciate all of the extra bolstering that goes into this pedalboard.

I really do love this pedal board. As the tagline says, it is a straight up BEAST. So it’s definitely sturdy and durable. But it’s also REALLY heavy. I don’t mean that to be a complaint. More of an “FYI”. It was heavy before I added the pedals. Lol - but whatever. Music. Equipment. Stuff is heavy. It did arrive a bit scuffed up, but I didn’t really care about that either, because I’ve already given it my fair share as well. The thing that is lacking on this pedal board, at this price point, is pedal security, and the inability to place the power supply underneath. Now I’ll explain; The Velcro is strong. But it’s not infallible. I haven’t even been using it but maybe a month? And I’ve had pedals come loose, and have also had Velcro come off of a couple of pedals. The adhesive seems good tho because I pushed it back on and it’s been ok, but man….you’ve REALLY gotta push on your pedals to get the Velcro to fully lock into place. Which is a bit concerning with some less rugged pedals, such as my Strobostomp tuner, which is mostly a screen. As for the power supply portion, the pedalboard itself sits too low to the ground to place the power supply anywhere but on top, which just takes up pedal space. This is admittedly my first pedal board, so I didn’t really know much other than the fact that it looked really nice. But there are much cheaper boards that are made of metal, with mechanisms that lock the pedals onto the board. I mean…I like that it’s wood and not metal actually, and I know how to use a drill for if I want to try to lock my pedals underneath the way the other boards are set up, but I feel like for the price, maybe include some of those, along with what size drill bit one might use to install them? Even if it requires a disclaimer (which should be obvious to anyone with common sense) that it wouldn’t be returnable if it were drilled into lol. Idk. I just feel like the Velcro is a “meh” solution. Otherwise it really is a beautiful board, and because it ISN’T more elevated, I do like the low profile of it, despite my power supply complaint 😂 - it just feels very natural to use. If you’re cool with the Velcro style (again it is VERY strong Velcro, you just have to push pretty hard to get it to lock) and don’t mind having your power supply/brick on top, or spending this much money on a pedal board (I mean come on, you’re going to spend waaayyyy more on what you’re putting ON the pedalboard, I’d hope, Invest bruh.) then snag this up!!!! Oh! A++ for the wheels!!!
