Hello all!
I was wondering if anyone had any advice or experience as to modding the interior of a Fender SKB case to securely fit pedals. My band is going to Europe in July and August and I am determined to keep as much of my gear together, as to avoid having to sling a secondary bag with cables/pedals etc.

I 'm hoping to fit the MXR distortion, EXH 44 Magnum, and my planet waves Strobe tuner pedal in the accessories part of the case, but alas, the height clearance is lacking when I close the case. The first idea I had was to cut into the foam insulation, and form factor it so each pedal sinks in low enough.
Or should I bite the bullet and just pack a small sling-able bag into my carry on luggage for my cables and pedals? Many thanks in advance.

My advice is to get a flight case that might be configured to hold some accessories. I was in JFK airport and saw a guy walk by with a Fender SKB case and the whole corner was ripped off and the white foam exposed. Kind of scary looking.

Hate to say it, but there are some cheap flight case knock offs on those China websites. Real cheap.
