Gorilla GC-PB1 Guitar Pedal Board Case

Super Priced & Easy To Pack Away Pedalboard - Just Right Size!

I had a £25 voucher as a gift, so I thought I would give this a go. I liked the size, and I'd had a EH soft pedal case for a while, which to be honest is a bit of a nightmare to use IMHO. No reviews so it was definately a gamble. I don't play out much these days, so I don't have to worry about flights, or I would have gone for an expensive rugged flight case.That being said, this is OK. For the money its GOOD.This will fit 2 rows of pedals. Standard size Boss or 1950bb type with a bit of breathing space.The cloth wasn't completely flat in places, put after pushing down and smoothing it out it seems to have stuck. This may need re-glueing at some point. The velcro supplied actually isn't too bad and sticks pretty well.I currently have 7/8 pedals and a powerplant jr stuck down.It seems pretty sturdy, it hasn't had enough abuse yet to know for sure how it will hold up - but if your touring, I would spend the money on something stronger. If like me you go from home to the studio and drive to the odd show, it should be fine.I'll update this after a few months and can see how getting chucked around in the boot and repeatedly opened and shut effects it.Edit 10/10/2014 - case is still going strong, but I have to mention that I payed £25 and at the moment it is quite a lot more expensive. My review and rating is for the case at £25.Edit 28/10/2014 - I have noticed the velcro, when it gets hot in the studio, unsticks from the bottom of the pedals. So I would recommend getting some better velcro and not using the one they supply.

Good case added a battery charger for gig pedals

Good value and does the job

This is a nice flight case for a modest sized pedal collection. It will also comfortably fit a full size Vox or Dunlop style wah. The lid lifts off completely when unlatched, which means it can be fiddly to get back on in a hurry but will save on space and not get in the way on stage (I'm not sure if this is the norm anyway having never owned one!)The interior tray is felt lined. I bought the 3m style hook and loop tape from B&Q which grips brilliantly but the glue failed on the felt meaning pedals would bang around when the case was lifted. TOP TIP! The felt is the same as the soft side of the 3m tape, so just put the spiky aide on your pedals and it then grips like anything! Doh.Mine currently fits a Spartan Music power supply, Mini TS, Mini Muff, a small tuner, and wah (get the Stage Trix fastener). Lastly the channel shift pedal for my amp is in there. With the planet waves patch leads I have, this is now just about full. I could definitely get a few more on but it would require the pancake/lave type connections/leads. On top of this, I can comfortably chuck in two 2 metre leads when neatly coiled and tied with cable ties.The case is very sturdy and good looking. It has an excellent engraved ape logo too which equals more stylin'! If you have a similar set up to me, basically a pretty bare/dry set up with a few condiments, this is a good option. It's not as practical in some ways as a Pedaltrain type setup, as there is no where to hide wiring, but it's elegant and portable, good quality, and very affordable indeed.

The board was larger than I expected but that turned out to be a good thing. A great bargain for the price (I paid about £27) and reasonably solid for general use. The Velcro tape supplied fixes the pedal quite securely while allowing for them to be re-sited. I did shift the pedals slightly from the picture to allow better clearance for the cable ends. My setup supplies power via a daisy chain cable from a meaty Boss mains adaptor. The case does lock if you want to do so at gigs. One warning,the 'Gorilla' label is upside down so watch out for having the case upside down. When I did it the pedals didn't fall off but you wouldn't want that to happen just before a gig. My case came in a bubble wrap inside the box and I kept the bubble wrap to stuff inside the case when closed to give the pedals added security in transit. I am pleased with the results and ended up with quite a useable board for not a lot of money.

Looks good. Seems good enough quality. But few design issues.So first of all the whole case is upside down. What should be the base of the case is actually the lid. Meaning that if you put the case down with the latches up and the logo the right way round you are facing the potential of all your pedals failing the velcro and all ending up in a pile on the floor.The case I think has been taken from multiple purpose and just labeled as a pedal board case and had some rubber feet attached to the lid of the case. If I had something like a pod hd500 and using the case for safe transporting to a gig it would work fine as the pedal unit would go in the deep part of the case.2nd issue as I mentioned it has feet on the lid, but that lifts the lid further off the floor and there is not foot in the middle of the case so the thin lid flexes in the middle under the pressure of you clicking on a pedal.Finally the lid fabric is not as good as if it was the fluffy side of velcro and because it's felt like material you can't stick velcro strips to it. Maybe if you used evostic contact adhesive on the fabric then the velcro other part it would hold better but I have no confidence in my micro pedals actually staying stuck.These issues aside it's actually good and good price. But as you can see from my photo it takes quite a lot of pedals complete with power pack. This is a work in process shot I need to sort the wiring better, but everything I want fits and I've still got enough space for a micro phaser pedal which is last on my shopping list.

It's a great tidy box, all my effects units and connectivity are neatly managed in the box. It's made seting up so much Easier.
