I have been sick of lugging around my old homemade board that was made of 3/4" plywood and weighed a ton for ages. As they say, I finally decided to move up in the world. I hope it actually gets some good use, and inspires me to practice more now that everything is sort of "plug and play."
Recently, I bought what I thought was going to be a used Pedal Train Classic 2 from Guitar Center in Boston. I had them ship it to Danvers, MA so I would not have to waste my time driving into the city. That area of Boylston Street is also under some big long term construction. Instead, what I bought was a brand new, still in the sealed shipping box Pedal Train Classic 2 pedal board with flight case and all the goodies like rolls of Velcro that come with the new purchase. At the time, I was very psyched that I made out well in the purchase. Also, the good feeling went away as I found that my Friedman power supply would not work with the pedal board, even though I was assured it would.
So, ordered a Strymon Zuma power supply because it was one of the ones that the tech department at Pedal Train said would fit, and it received a ton of great reviews at various sites. I had to get the mounting kit with it, and four 3mm holes later, it was installed.
Then, my fastidiousness took charge, and after a couple of nights everything was mounted. Cables were run, and I used the sticky zip tie anchors all over the place so I could make a nice tidy layout underneath.
Of course, before I even got the pedals moved onto the new board, Bella claimed the old one. It is her new favorite bed and scratching post. As long as she doesn't claw my amps, she can have the pedalboard to her heart's content.

And of course Bella. She says "Mine!"
