Hi guys? Please can someone help to calculate which pedalboard should I need to accommodate the rig that I’m planning ?

I ordered a FC-12 and a EV-1 expression pedal.
For the next days I’m planning to buy an SP-1 expression pedal and one OCD HEXA+ extra footswich. I wonder if should I need a Temple audio duo 34 or a Trio 43 pedalboard to accommodate these equipments, or any other pedalboard.

These are the measures :

FractalFC-12
Dimensions: 512mm x 233mm x 88mm.

Hexa+
11,1 cm wide
EV1
Dimensions: 8,1cm wide x 19cm long x 6,6cm

Mission engineering SP1
9x4x4 inches

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Amazing! Thank you so much!

So, the temple audio duo has the perfect height for me, but can’t fit extra footswitches like OCD HEXA+, the trio can but it’s too oversized, specially the height.
Do you guys know any other pedalboard that has the width like temple audio trio but shorter height ?

Which Duo? They have them up to 34"...

Also, the Temple Audio site has a designer tool as well:

it seems that the Temple audio DUO 34 pedalboard is well suited to the FM9 + 2 Mission d expression pedals mounted next to it, Thomann offers a bundle with a carrying bag. Do you think this bag will be able to carry the FM9 and 2 pedals mounted on the pedalboard?

Pedalboard DUO 34 is €174 and with the bag is €268. €94 for a bag it´s too expensive I think. I wish I was in US.

yes it's expensive, but if it does the job...it can transport the FM9 and 2 missions. Otherwise I have to look for a suitable bag or box.

The way I look at bags and case prices is, what did the unit cost that I’m carrying in it? Then I spend about 10% of that for the bag/case. You’re carrying the FM9 and two pedals?

Yes, an FM9 2 Missions expression pedal and an EV-5 that I don't count

I'd be looking at bags/cases that are at least $170 because that's 10% of the cost of a new FM9 in the US.

The board with the FM9 and two Mission pedals is heavy enough to do some damage to walls and doorways if you're moving fast. The padding in a good quality bag helps protect more than just the unit being carried inside.

The Duo 34 will accommodate the FM9 and 2 standard expression pedals. For external switches, I'd personally build several and try the midi route. One needs to remember that the expression pedals will take up 2 exp jacks, leaving only one remaining for external. Midi will enable multiple externals that can be hardwired to the Duo 34 directly.

If you planning on only one expression pedal, by all means, the Duo 34 should accommodate the exp pedal, plus an Otter switch box. You might try checking out Otter's additional offers that might work better for your needs.

Ask @Joe Bfstplk or @unix-guy for info about midi. Not sure if the Hexa+ was to be used with midi or not. If no, then the two remaining exp jacks can be used only with 2 external switches. You'd need to try the midi route in that case.

EDIT: Just checked the OCD website. You might need to downsize your Hexa+ to a SW/EXP which provides 2 switches and a knob. The Hexa may in fact be too wide for all that your hoping to place on your board.

Here's what my board looks like. It's a Duo 24 that houses the FM9, an external switch and Peterson StroboStomp Mini. I've purposely kept my EV-1 off the Duo 24 for portability concerns only. The EV-1 fits into my TA Duo 24 gig bag's front pocket along with any necessary cables.

For quality custom-made gig bags, Studio Slips is the best builder online. Not cheap, but quality custom-made to your specs that will last a lifetime.
