Title: Where to get a box like this?
Post by: _tom_ on May 09, 2006, 01:24:16 PM: I'm looking for a metal or other durable material box which will have a lift off lid, so I can store my pedals in it, carry them around etc, then just lift off the lid and I wont need to set them up or whatever.. Heres a classic MS paint diagram of what I mean if you dont understand :lol:

I did some searches but couldnt find anything like what I want... other than "proper" guitar pedalboards which are a rip off in my opinion. A handle would be nice aswell.

Cheers for any help

I have no idea if it'll even do what you want, but you might as well check maplin's website...

I've been watching pedalboards on Ebay for the last few weeks.

The 1s you've mentioned have been going upto about £70ish :)
