Pedaltrain Boards - A stupid question
Hey guys,
I have a silly question about the pedaltrain boards - I have the largest one - and im wondering if someone can give some advice on how to mount the Voodoo lab power supply to the bottom of this thing. Are metal drill bits required? Is it a complicated installation?

Thanks

Andy what I did was cut a thin piece of plywood the width of the space between the beams, velcro that to the board, and then the PP2 to it.

If you have the brackets for the PP2 then yes, you have to drill into the board underneath.
If you don't, then some heavy-duty tie straps should work just fine.

I drilled holes with a hole saw, filed them smooth and touched the paint up.
I attached the PP2 with dual lock.

I have had two. They were both noisy and stopped working within a few months. The Pedal Power is in a completely different league. Dead quiet and 100% reliable.

Thanks guys. I love the Voodoo lab PP2 plus. Its dead quiet absolutely and really rugged. I also custom ordered some cables on the cheap from VL for multiple power sources (i have several pedals)

im no handy man but i guess this is a good place to start. Its a real space saver, I love this board.

even with the new pedaltrains with the PP2 brackets, you're going to have to drill, just fyi. i just got out my trusy dremel and drilled a few holes in the PT, and bingo, done.
