Pedaltrain Metro 16 SC 16 X8 Inches Pedalboard with Soft Case

Metro 16 is a great pedalboard. The soft case is better than I expected it to be, though even still I would like to see heavier denier canvas and YKK zippers covering my expensive gear. The board itself is super solid, hard welded together with clean welds, and solid powdercoating including down into the crevices. The supplied loop and hook fastening tape is great, and there is enough of it supplied for more than a full layout. The rubber feet are good, as are the screws holding the feet to the board; we'll see how many years it takes the rubber feet to start getting that gross rubber rot so common on music gear. Just about any power supply will fit underneath the Metro; I have a Cioks DC-7 installed and it fits great. On top of the board, you can fit 14 mini pedals (Ibanez Minis, Wampler Belle, MXR Duke of Tone, TC Flashback Mini3, etc) with wiggle room or 16 minis with very compact patch cables and two millimeters of overhang on every side. Overall I am very happy with the Metro16 board.Suggestion #1 - The middle rib underneath the board is a solid sheet of metal which totally divides the underspace into two separate hemispheres. It would be great if Pedatrain would cast or drill holes in the center rib or make an arched rib so that power and patch cables could run from north to south and vice versa. I myself drilled two holes through the center rib and they are okay for passing thinner cables through, but my holes are a mess and Pedaltrain could do it better if they wanted to.Suggestion #2 - The back row would be easier to step on footswitches if it were raised 1cm. I intend to strip my board, attach 1cm wooden slats to the back row, and re-apply hook-and-loop on top of the wooden slats.

Good board. Just wide enough for a basic set up. Was able to mount my power supply in it and that is nice. Very usable and a good grab and go setup.

Perfect board!

I love the size after moving to this from a huge one. Easy to be installed, great functionality and looks great

Best price you will find for a solid board with a real hard case. I own a few sizes of these metro boards and hard cases and they are great. Need to stick to slim power supplies as these are pretty low profile. Comes with a bunch of velcro and zip ties.

This pedal board is extremely OK. It does it's job just fine. The included velcro wasn't in fantastic shape. It's about 1/16" too wide for the rails so you get this very small part that hangs over the side and I can see an instance where that would cause it to peel off. The velcro is however very sticky. The feet could be 1/2" taller so you could fit a wider range of power supplies under the board. I would also like to see the velcro pre-cut to size. I think that would be a nice touch especially considering the cost. As for the board itself it is well constructed and has a very nice finish. The upgraded steel zipper is great, very high quality. The bag seems to be well constructed. I don't see a need for an extra pocket for cables, these will fit fine in the main bag. The bag is large enough to carry the board loaded with pedals. I am pleased with this product and would buy it again.

I'd been shopping exhaustively for a replacement pedalboard as my old board is a flight case and a piece of honeycomb case panelling as the board. It worked, but I had to change power supplies and was tired of dealing with power routing as surface-mount power supplies can make for a routing mess. The Metro 16 allows me to run my new Eventide/Ciocks PowerMAX underneath for a mess-free setup. My Metro 16 is so clean, compact, and lightweight, yet the case is exceptionally solid. I don't do fly dates or touring anymore, so the hard case is more than adequate and is actually very well built. It brings me joy.

Great product
