If you are reading this article then you are probably researching
information on pedal board flight cases. Maybe you are looking for a
pedal board flight case and unsure about what case would suit you best?
If so then you have come to the right place. As there is such a wide
range of effects pedal cases on the market, finding one that meets your
needs and requirements can be a difficult process.
I have been playing guitar in a band for the past few years, playing gigs most weekends and I have changed my effects board several times to expand my set up of effects pedals and to increase the protection of them on the road. I am currently using a 24" odyssey hard case. However, upon researching flight cases I found it hard to find relevant information and help towards choosing the right one, therefore I have provided some information that might be useful to you.
Pedal Board Flight Cases
Pedal board Flight cases are probably the most efficient and durable type of case to protect your pedals. They are an ideal case if you play a lot of gigs or transport your pedals around often as they can take a hard beating unlike a soft case. However the disadvantages are that a pedal board flight case can be pretty heavy if you have a lot of pedals in your set up and you are more likely to injure yourself carrying it around (e.g hitting your shin of the corner of it!!)
Size
One of the most important factors in investing in a pedal board flight case is to decide on the correct size you need. This is a mistake i have personally made before like many other guitarists. You should first place your pedals in a rectangular fashion of two rows,then measure the length and width of the setup. Effects boards range in size from 14 by 5 1/2 inches to 32 by 16 inches. In doing this you should also allow about an inch around the edge of the pedals for jack leads and power lead
I would personally recommend investing in a pedal board flight case if you play a lot of gigs or transport your pedals around often, as it offers better protection than any other type of case/bag. Remember, Guitar/ Bass effects pedals do not come cheap so it is worth investing in a case that will protect your pedals and keep them in mint condition, that way you can sell them later on for a good price if you wish to do so.
