ATA / CUSTOM WIRING

 

Why a Shock Mount ATA case?

There are other pedalboards on the market that are designed so that the 'case' is the 'pedalboard'.

This pedalboard/case all in one design allows the pedalboard contents to suffer all of the shock, bumps, drops and slams from typical tour use, simply because your pedals are mounted to the actual case.

In true innovative Trailer Trash fashion, we have designed a pedalboard that will rest in a 1" foam ATA tray. Our boards are designed either to take out of the tray, or you can set the ATA case down on the stage, undo the butterfly latches, lift off the lid, plug in your board, play a show, while still have it protected by the 1" foam ATA tray. Fast , easy, and reliable.

We went through many designs to get the play area of the board as low profile as possible when in the tray. It is comfortable.

This is a proven design. Rascal Flatts guitarist Joe Don Rooney has had Trailer Trash Pedalboards Products on tour since 2004, and has never had a break down... This is real touring, forklifts, semi trucks, ramps, rain, roadies etc...

All of the Trailer Trash Products built for Rascal Flatts are housed in our Shock Mount ATA Case Design.

The new ATA case from Trailer Trash Pedalboards has been taken one step further in design. We have addressed the weight issue in everyway possible since the original conception of the company, and our new ATA cases are no exception.

We have researched and found new materials on the market that are the same thickness as the standard wood used by most current case companies. The composite is much lighter than wood and rates just as high if not higher.

(Please don't confuse this with the thin plastics used by some rack and case companies. That is a different catagory.)

The result is that a quality wood ATA case for a 30"x18” pedalboard typically weighs 30lbs. - 35lbs. That is just the ATA case, not including the pedalboard, or the contents on the board.

Our new ATA case (30x18) weighs 17lbs without the board inside. 13-18lbs lighter than industry standard wood cases! This comes in handy when you are paying the upcharges that airlines charge for excessive weight.

Cases can be Custom ordered w/wheels. Please call for pricing.

 

 

All boards come with patchbays pre-punched and plugged for the player to install 1/4” inputs/outputs (3 per side) - Pro Series boards are designed for the power supply to mount under the board. This allows the player to route the a/c cord out of the side of the board making T-Trash the Touring pros choice.
(see below) Custom Wired by T-Trash

 

For this player, we prep’d his board so when he recieved it, it was a breeze to finish the wiring.

We installed (1) Main A/C - (2) Courtesy A/C’s (1) Top and (1) side (This is an extra A/C’s for pedals that need A/C power - you can plug your amp in here too)

We hard wired his power supplies to the side A/C. With these accessories he only has to plug in the x-cord to the wall and all of the A/C & D/C are ready to go.

We installed 3 Neutrik locking 1/4” plugs - Guitar ‘IN’ on the right - Stereo ‘OUT’ on the left.

He sent us his True By-Pass loop boxes and we installed them with audio and power.

Voila! He only has to build his audio cables and run his D/C cables to each pedal and within a few hours, he has professional results as seen in the Trailer Trash Gallery.

 

 

 

 

 

We Sell Our PedalBoards In 3 Levels :

1st Level –
We sell board/case packages
or boards w/ no case (See Pro Series Page for Pricing)

2nd Level –
We sell board/case prepped for the customer

Side A/C & Power Supply Detail :
When prepping a board, the customer tells us what they need for power.
T-Trash sells and installs the Voodoo Lab power supplies. (PP-2 & ISO 5)
Many customers already own power supplies and opt to send these to TT for installation, as the customer must have knowledge on how to hardwire your power supply to the side a/c.
It does require ‘you’ to cut and strip the a/c cable and hardwire into the side a/c

T-Trash only gives advice on spec’ing power for the customer in Level 3, when we are wiring the entire board

The customer also lets us know what side of the board that they want the main (male) and courtesy (female) a/c installed

Side-Mount Jacks Detail :
Side-Mount jacks for input/output/stereo/fx send/return/midi/xlr - etc…
The customer lets us know what side of the board they want them installed on and if they are part only -$20.00 each for installed but not wired Neutrik - or if you want us to pre-solder them - (we solder Mogami – Evidence Monorail or George L’s cable, 6” inches longer than the width of your board when ordering them ‘wired’) - $30.00 each for wired Neutrik

Wired Neutrik Detail :
Once you have the prepped board in front of you, you are required to drill holes in the top, route the cable through and build the plug on top to finish -
It is safe to drill through the Veltop to finish the wired Neutriks, but this will have to be redone every time you replace your Veltop as mentioned in the FAQ’s Section - Why T-Trash Only Custom Wires On Hardtops or Glowtops and Not On Veltop Pedalboards :

Many customers also send us their loopers, a/b boxes etc… to install as part of a prepped board – this way, they only have to send/return & run d/c out to each pedal, making the finish of the build much easier for the novice.

The prepped board pictured not only illustrates ¼” Neutriks, and a power supply mounted and wired to side & top a/c’s, but also has the Large hole cut in the Hardtop for ease of pulling d/c cables out to each pedal – Hardtops are generally sold w/o the top hole cut, but if the customer wants this feature, T-Trash will add for free. All Veltop boards come stock w/ the Large top hole

We also sell the rest of the parts needed to assemble your board as seen on the T-Trash website – see Custom Wiring & Accessory Page for pricing.

3rd Level –
Custom Wired Boards – Available only for USA & Canada

You send your pedals to Trailer Trash Pedalboards for the full wiring treatment – we design your signal flow, help you order the right looper, spec your power etc… the end result is seen all over the T-Trash website – we have designed & custom wired them all !!!

Turn around times vary due to size of jobs, but we can flip most boards in 2- 3 days, and usually no more than 4 days even on the big scary 40x18’s –
Your name goes into our queue for wiring based on when we receive a deposit for order – the deposit for a custom wired board is the cost of the board/case only – the balance is billed at the end of the job before shipping to the customer.

As part of our standard procedure, we speak to each customer many times during the build and also take pictures of the layout of the board and send to you for approval before we start wiring – It’s a very tedious process, with excellent & proven results

When the finished board comes to you, all you have to do is open the case, plug in your instrument, amp and a/c and you’re jammin’ with a sparkling hot clean signal.
