So it took me a while because I'm very slow at making decisions, I like to call it being particular, my wife calls it being something else, lol. But I finally settled on the Pelican 1615 Air Travel Case. I REALLY wanted the 1595 Air Travel to work as it's 4 to 5 inches shorter, but the bottom line is there wouldn't have been enough foam, if any, to protect the rig. This is literally perfect for me and I don't even feel I am going to need plastic dip, although I have it in case. I am however going to use..

...to adhere the foam to the case so they foam pieces doing have a desire to pop out when pulling the rig out. The pelican case foam is 6-7 pieces depending on what configuration you buy. there are 3 smaller pieces that sit in the bottom of the case to fill in nooks and crannies created from the pull handle and wheels, then a 1 inch base goes on top of that for the rig to sit on, and then two 3 inch slabs of pick n pluck to customize to your needs. totaling 6 inches in height. I allowed me to pick n pluck the bottom portion to the exact size of my Temple Audio Duo 24, and then doing the same on the top portion, but adding another inch of cutout space on each side for the grabbing of the handles of the pedalboard. NOTE: It's called "pick n pluck" for a reason. I did a practice run using a knife to pull the cubes apart and it destroyed the foam. Luckily i had the space left in the foam to finish the job with my fingers. Even tho there are plenty of Youtube vids detailing pick n pluck with a knife, using your fingers keeps the foam nice and smooth in your customization process, trust me!
I chose the Air "TRAVEL" series as its combo pouch lid organizer allows me to store my 25ft snake housing my power cable speaker, cables, etc, in the zippered compartment while allowing me to use the mesh pockets to store my wireless packs, etc. All other lid organizers do NOT have an option large enough to drop a 25ft snake into.
