Pedal board soft cases or bags (re-purposed)

[strat68]

Looking for ideas- what would be a good soft case for a pedal board that is already made? That is, not custom made or specific to pedal boards, but designed for something else.

Example- years ago I had a line6 floorboard, and used an Easton softball bag from a sporting goods chain. This was actually before Line6's case came out, and was about 1/3 the price. Still works great for mics, cables and guitar stands.

The softball bag won't work for an almost sqaure, rectangle board, but you get the idea. Someone suggested artwork or blueprint portfolio bags, but I can't figure out a good search term for (my friend) Google. Width starting at 25" is fine.

I'm using a mixing board soft case for mine. (Rockbag I believe). Works great and they come in different sizes.

If your board is small enough, a laptop bag can work.

that's what I'm using right now. Has enough room for my m9, wah, jeckyl and hyde, and L6 Echo pro. And zips right up for shipping out. The sides have little 'portals' for running cables out the sides too.

Keyboard bags work.

Pedaltrain Jr is not very deep (or is that tall), correct? About 20 x 13...

If you must have back pack style shoulder straps, I'm not certain... but in my example in the OP, I mentioned the softball bag I used for the Line6 controller- which is roughly the same dim. as a pedal train junior. Mine has handles and a single shoulder strap, but who knows, they may make one backpack style. I only paid $20 or so for mine at it is tough as nails.

video projector bags work great!

Thanks for the ideas guys- reason why I was looking at bags for other purposes (than music) is they would likely be very cheap then your usual stuff at MF or GC. I would jump on that E-H bag if I saw it on clearance or scratch/dent.

It's for a B board which I didn't want to spend much on, my A board is a pedaltrain 2, which has a great bag. My B board is a sawed down SKB-25 (I guess it's now an SKB-17 ). The bag fell apart only because it was such a tight fit that I damaged it myself on the lower right corner, which was the last part I'd F-O-R-C-E in. Used to kill my index finger shoe horning that last corner in.

Just about any padded backpack.
