    How are you transporting your Midi controller

    I actually have a rocktron All Access, but this concerns anyone using an MFC or other similar size midi controller. I'm just using a duffel bag, but the strap broke on it today. Just wondering what everyone else is doing about carrying their MFC's or other midi controllers around to/from gigs and practice.

    Check Out NYCPedalboards.com

    I (will) have two: one for my Liquid Foot Pro + 2 expression pedals, and one for my Boomerang III and Side Car.

    I wrap mine in a towel and throw it in the duffel bag with the rest of my "travel" gear (stands, cables, wireless transmitter, etc.). I use a Roland FC-200.

    A flight case. I managed to pick one up second hand on another forum. It has room for the FCB, its cables, a tin of spare picks and a pint glass. Heavy though

    Currently, I have my MFC and expression pedals mounted on a Pedaltrain Pro. I previously carried my MFC and two expression pedals in an POD XTL bag. MFC and 1 pedal in the main case with the second pedal in the outer pocket.

    I use to use a 3 space rack drawer, now I have a separate box for it so I can accomodate two expression pedals.
    If you want to hear your Axe Fx in a truly FRFR environment, try the Audeze LCD-2 headphones.

    Deconsecrate yourself from your tube clouded mind... Embrace the Axe FX. The algorithm has transcended the illusion.

    I've used this for years: http://www.gatorcases.com/p/111209-38/gk-2110

    Holds the All Access plus two expression pedals (turned sideways). Some cables.

    Offers terrible protection and my All Access' screen shows that.

    I have a OSP 32 inch flight case pedalboard which is great because the pedalboard is removable and has the flip up wall for hiding cables.....but, it is now overkill because all I use now is the MFC with 2 BOSS FV500 pedals. Before I had a Gsystem with different pedals etc.
    Now I can fit it all in a backpack lol ....much lighter. But, I am looking for a new board and thinking of selling the OSP board. Nice well made board (they do have smaller sizes also...) but, the 32 inch is not necessary unless you also run a ton of other pedals on the floor, which I don't do anymore. I run those in my rack with a switcher.

    A very well padded with foam flight case I had custom made for me, the top cover of the case is taken off and leaving the bottom part as the pedal board itself.
    Keeps everything in place, one CAT5 cable is out and that’s it.

    My MFC and two SP-1s are mounted in a pedal board case, where I also stuff my guitar and speaker cables. Turned out to be a lot heavier to lug around than I expected.

    I also have a three-space drawer. It's way deep and has room for MFC, two missions, and a few cables.

    I remember another thread where people were talking about the Diago Showman. I think they said it fit the MFC plus two expression pedals nicely.
    Here it is on Amazon:

    My Liquid Foot pro fits in the Boss L6 bag for the GT6 or 8 nicely, and it's padded!

    Mounted up on a PedalTrain Pro with 3 Mission Engineering expression pedals in the Pedaltrain soft bag.

    It's on the top of the cart in this pic:
