Pedal storage and transport

[juansolo]

Here's a question for you; does anyone know of anything suitable for the storage and transport of a large number of pedals? I'm not talking a pedal board here (there's far too many), I'm thinking of some sort of flight case with inserts or something.

I'm rapidly running out of space in a set of drawers that they mostly live in. That and I occasionally need to take them places for people to have go with.

Any ideas?

Given the numbers involved I suspect I might need a couple...

3"x4"x6" boxes with bubble wrap. I bought stuff like that for shipping, but it would work well for storage. Each box can be labeled and carried in a box, or stored on a shelf/in a drawer.

You can grab cool wallets for the cutlery or at craft stores some tools wallets. They are filled with foam you can cut to adjust it to the size of your pedals, plus they often look like the racks used by bands for touring!

Was thinking something more along the lines of a couple of large photographers cases with inserts to take all my pedals. I suppose there are flightcase peeps that could make something, but likely at an impressive cost.

Ah, but if those flightcase peeps can do it, so can you. DIY?

Plano makes a fishing reel case, it's big enough to store about 6 - 10 pedals depending on the size, and comes with egg carton foam inserts.  They're $20.

I originally bought it to hold reels, but it does a nice job for moving pedals.  And much cheaper than DIY'ing it.

you can DIY something like this ......

you could also pick up a Pelican/StormCase and cut the foam yourself

I'd need about 8 I have a lot of pedals to store  

Looking at the price of Pelican, I think I might be better off DIYing

Oh man Pelican cases rule... used them in my last job absolutely travel-proof, almost bullet-proof tbh... but the price reflects that.  I'm gonna build a big pedalboard like Paul did here

Sorry, I misinterpreted your statement on the pedal board and far too many.

What I use for that problem (I have about 120 pedals right now) is this

Actually thinking of getting a couple more.

Now that's something I hadn't thought about. They're currently all just stacked in a set of drawers. I have no idea what's in which so finding what I want is a pain. I'm quite liking that though. Line the drawers with some foam... Definite possibility.
