"I had the greatest pedalboard maker on earth design me a custom board. Rooster, at Trailer Trash Pedalboards, put it all together for me and is actually working on a second one right now. I'll tell you, that thing is my life-support system. It's tough, quiet and looks killer on TV." – from Musicians Hotline Magazine
"Getting a Trailer Trash pedalboard is the best thing I've ever done for my rig. From utilization and quality to plain bad-assness, the TTrash board ROCKS!."
Rascal Flatts
Trailer Trash has made 6 custom pedalboards for Mega-Platinum Super Group Rascal Flatts for use in the studio and live touring.
Bassist Jay DeMarcus and Guitarist Joe Don Rooney both use Double Wide "Rock-Star Trash" pedalboards on tour. Both boast Royal-Blue "Glow-Tops" Custom Glow-Top-controls this rack-designed and built by T-Trash Pedalboards.
This board was custom built for Jay DeMarcus Bassist-Rascal Flatts Both of these rigs toured with Rascal Flatts on the Kenny Chesney tour (summer '04) and then on their huge headline tour through the end of '04.
Both of these rigs performed at 100% with no break-downs. They were rained on, shined on, pushed up ramps, transported in semi-trucks from show to show, etc... This was a great test for this kind of fragile gear and wiring, and it passed. Thank you Rascal Flatts for trusting in Trailer Trash Pedalboards.
The "Glow-Tops" were on stage w/ Rascal Flatts on their CMT live special filmed in Atlanta Fall '04. Joe Don also has a "Vintage Honey." Notice the Pete Cornish G-2 - another T-Trash recommendation.
"Trailer Trash Pedalboards are "built tough" no doubt about it... I was playing a show in Chicago and clearly remember standing on my pedalboard during a solo and looked down and realized "man, I'm standing on my pedalboard playing this solo and this thing isn't even giving the slightest inch," needless to say I didn't step off it till the last note was played... man, you gotta love that."
– Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts

"I love my Trailer Trash Rock Star Trash pedalboard, It's extremely reliable, and extremely professional, it's also built really tough and it looks cool too! The angle of the board is perfect for all of my pedals even the wah, and having the wiring underneath the board keeps everything looking really clean! Rock On Rooster!!!"

"I've had several different custom pedalboards designed for me over the years by some of the top guys in the industry and I have to say, my Trailer Trash board blows them all away for design, workmanship, tone preservation and just pure vibe! It is simply the best by a mile!! I'm already planning to have Rooster do a second one! "
Thaddeus Hogarth

"In all honesty these are the best pedalboards on the market, custom made with the needs of the professional musician in mind. James (Rooster) Olson is a pleasure to do business with, courteous and responsive. I'll be using his product and spreading the word for as long as I am in this business! "

"Trailer Trash Pedalboards are not only the most durable and practical system out there, they also add to your stage presence by looking bad-ass!"

Ryan Ochsner
Ryan Ochsner, on tour with Lonestar.
"Trailer Trash Pedalboards are the epitome of a professional rig. When I ordered my board, I had an idea in mind, and it was brought to life better than I had imagined. It brings the concept of a pedalboard into the realm of a custom piece of gear like a guitar or amp. Every detail was taken into account. These boards were definitely designed with pro players in mind. The wiring is incredible. Every time I plug it in, it works flawlessly. I couldn't be happier with my Trailer Trash Pedalboards."
Guthrie Trapp
Lead Guitar Super Picker Guthie Trapp has a Double-Wide "Vintage-Honey."
"I ordered a Custom Wired Double-Wide Vintage Honey at the beginning of '04 for use on the Patty Loveless tour. I have flown it and trucked it coast to coast multiple times. It is really nice to have the peace of mind to know that every time that I pull the board out of the case it's going to work. The wiring is awesome. It's nice to find a product that offers a cool look and is still practical for the touring pro. Even though it's in an ATA approved case the entire thing is nice and light - 45lbs. Now that the touring season is over I will be using my Trailer Trash Pedalboard on Patty's new album."
