For anybody wondering where you can get a case like that what you want to look for is a typewriter case. Some of them are pretty good (the tops come completely off). I found a decent one in a military surplus store for 30 bucks.
Note: I forgot to mention that I put some foam in the lid of the box to give the pedals some padding and hold them in place while carrying the case. I also added a ground wire to the case just to be safe.
I really like the idea of placing input, output, and power supply on the case itself. I was thinking about doing the same with this briefcase I was going to convert into a pedalboard but this kind of metal suitcase conversion seems like a much better medium, I'll be scanning my local thrift stores for something similar. Cheers!
I'm glad you like it! I was also looking in thrift stores for a while but I couldn't find anything, so I ended up just getting this off of facebook marketplace
Slot those hinges so you can remove the lid completely, add some foam to the top & bottom lids for a form fitting no rattle carrying case. Don’t drill holes, use hot glue to secure cables, glue on some rubber feet & add a few bumper stickers
Yea I always find a glitch in my planning and have to extrapolate a bit, but that's part of the challenge... If it were too easy pedalboard companies would go out of business. Nice job!
This is a great project. The only thing I'd add would be some rubber stops on the bottom of the box so the board doesn't slip around. Cool project.

Top job dude! Very inspiring. Thanx for sharing!

this is cool! I just ordered a board in a box from Etsy and your idea of including the input + output sockets is something I want to do when I get it!
how did it go?

Hi,
Can you tell us where you got the case?
Thank you.
Yep, I got it on facebook marketplace. I looked at local thrift stores first but couldn't find anything there.
Not three bad, I made one from a tuperware lunchbox
Nice job ! Where did you get the case for this project ?
Thank you! I got it on facebook marketplace because I couldn't find anything in my local thrift stores.
