FM3 gigbag or case?

I use a pedal train classic for my FM3 set up. Holds my XLR, guitar cables and collapsible stand inside pocket and the main kit on the board. Great grab and go solution. PXL_20220825_120504174.jpgPXL_20220825_120435751.jpg
 
Originally I went for the Gator 1110 - but honestly I find it almost too tight for the FM3.

Then I headed for universal carrying Cases and I think I found the perfect solution (PeakTech P7300). It fits the FM3 almost perfect, it can't move at all. At first I thought a model bigger would have been better due to more cushion through foam blocks...what do you think?

Flyht Pro Gorilla Soft Case GCB7 (in Thomann, the price is 41€) - It's a perfect gigbag (at least for me) for this price: FM3 + Boss expression pedal + Line6 wireless + MorningStar MC3 + Digitech Jamman looper. All the cables are going into the ENKI case.
Fly rig is complete, without any compromise, finally.
Beside that I am using also a solid custom built pedalboard for the van tours.

I just use a notebook backpack. Padded, enough space for the FM3 and some cables and extra pedals and so comfortable to wear.
 
My case... $109 on Amazon. I use the full size foot pedals but there's still a bit of room for a few cables. I could have done the layout that leaves a dedicated cutout for extras but didn't know how much the foam would compress after cutting. Total weight loaded up is 35 pounds.

World Tour Bag fits the FM3/FC6 almost perfectly, just a little bit of wiggle room. Got mine from Zzounds.com for like $30.

The World Tour bags have a good amount of padding for the price.

I went with a larger one to be able to carry my expression pedal and foot switch as well.

I just did this for my OMG9 and expression pedal. I got a plank of plywood and laid out my setup and took measurements. I looked up hard shell rifle cases on Amazon and came up with this one that fit my measurements. (first Pic) you can customize and pick out the foam to form fit your pedals. I opted to pick out all the foam in the footprint I wanted and built a pedalboard than can be pulled out. The case also has wheels, and because it is meant for a rifle there are hasps on the case in order padlock it.

I just ordered an FM3 clamshell bag/case from Studio Slips. Looking forward to getting it. My FM3 shipped today. Prolly have it by week’s end! Can’t wait! 🎸😊😎
 
I just use an old backpack that I formerly used for my Pod Go. Plenty of padding, fits both expression pedals & all cables, plus my wireless. Carry on back, guitar in one hand, BlockDock 12HD in the other. Really POs our keys guy. :D
 
Studio Slips - awesome! Perfect fit & protection. Got additional pocket (padded) for EV-2 & cables! I’m going to get an FC-6, then order the FC-6 case from Studio Slips.

FYI, SS has a bag that carries both the FM3 & FC6. I have one, works great. I use it when I use the FC6 as well.
 
Since I already have the FM3 clamshell, I will keep it and get an FC-6 bag. But, I do know about the bag for both. Thanks for the info.
