🎵 Road to Portability Part 4 - The Endgame

Now that I have the completed Pedaltrain Nano with me, I need a worthy case for it. The original case will never make the cut because I've already know how great Mono cases are. And Mono cases is where I looked to again!

Firstly, I sold the old Mono M80 case for $120 on 5th June 2019 and then got the updated one brand new from Swee Lee at $219 on the very same day. The only difference between those two are the 3 D-rings at the front. Super important part of my project. Small feature that caused a $99 hole in my pocket.

Next, featuring the Mono Tick 2.0!!! This thing is a beast! Costing me $89 brand new from Swee Lee, I got this pedal case alongside the new and improved version of the Mono M80 guitar case. Although a little overpriced in my opinion, at least I have the very best in the market.

The Tick was never meant to be carried separately on hand. The sides are innovatively manufactured to work together with the newer versions of Mono guitar cases by hanging from 3 isolated points. This is where my older Mono case can't keep up. Now I can essentially carry my entire rig behind me!

Costs of this project:
1. Anker 13400 Power Bank - $50
2. Analogman Prince of Tone - $240
3. Ionic Audio 9V Aadapter - $44.50
4. Mission Engineering 529 Power Supply - $249
5. Mono M80 Classic - $129
6. Mono Tick 2.0 - $89
7. Hotone Vow Press - $140
8. Pedaltrain Nano - $60
9. Velcro - $17 (I bought the wrong one. Really stupid.)

Now then, I have one of the most versatile rig on the planet. Two vastly different electric guitars, 2 different pedalboards (Helix and Stomp-board) with the same core functions and 2 different amplifiers (THR10C and Blackstar Fly 3) for all completely different purposes!
