I'm aiming just to get my pedals all in one place neatly. I have patch cables, power supplies, with daisy-chained power adapters. At minimum, I'll always have noise gate, compressor, tube overdrive pedals. But I'm looking to have room for 6 pedals max.

I was also thinking of getting a plastic art supply suitcase, and maybe just cutting holes where necessary. If I want to elevate the rear, I'll just put a book under, or a 2x4 under it. Any ideas, guys and gals? Thanks in advance!


Tried it once back in the 80's but gave it up in favor of a multi-effects unit.
Guess the major things for me were all the extra cables and fitting in the multitudes of 9 volt power supplies and the fact that it looked home-made and cheezy even though I'd spent days on it.
..enjoy...
