Pedaltrain Classic PRO Pedal Board with Wheeled Tour Case
The Pedaltrain Classic PRO is a professional-grade pedalboard system featuring the manufacturer's signature five-rail design for extensive effects configurations. Accompanied by a heavy-duty wheeled tour case, it is designed to provide maximum durability and space for touring musicians with complex signal chains.

Overview
The Pedaltrain Classic PRO represents the evolution of the brand's original 'Pro' model, maintaining the traditional five-rail layout that established Pedaltrain as an industry standard. This specific iteration is paired with a professional tour case equipped with wheels, addressing the transport needs of players with large, heavy effects setups. The board is constructed with the classic open-frame architecture that facilitates tidy cable management and versatile pedal placement.
Design and Key Features
The core of the Classic PRO is its five-rail design, which provides significant surface area to accommodate a diverse array of hardware, ranging from standard compact stompboxes to oversized multi-effects units and volume pedals. A primary feature of this model is the open-front design. This design choice is critical for ergonomics, as it allows for the seamless mounting of power supplies and switching systems underneath or at the front of the board, ensuring they remain accessible while keeping the top surface uncluttered.

The Wheeled Tour Case
Given the large dimensions of the Classic PRO board, portability is managed via a dedicated hardshell tour case. This case is built to a 'top-tier' specification, intended to withstand the rigours of road travel and flight transit. The inclusion of integrated wheels is a functional necessity for a board of this scale, allowing musicians to transport their fully-loaded rig through venues and airports without the strain associated with non-wheeled cases.
Suitability and Applications
This system is specifically designed for professional musicians and touring artists who require a high degree of flexibility. It is best suited for players who utilize complex signal chains or large switching systems that require more depth than standard three or four-rail boards. While smaller alternatives like the Rock Fusion Drum Bag Set or Latin Percussion Cajon Bag cater to percussionists, the Classic PRO is a dedicated solution for guitarists, bassists, and synthesists needing a rigid, protected platform for electronic effects.
