[HAM] case 4 XB3 pedals

[Warren Seale]

Greetings all,  Was wondering about anyone who might know how and where 
to acquire a well-designed but light weight road case for a set of XB3 
pedals.  I've semi retired my two tone wheel B3s for the time being and 
using the X for occasional one nighters.  The pedal design is a royal 
pain with volume pedal attached-seems rather fragile, heavy, awkward as 
hell and if it breaks I'm baked as so many functions are triggered by 
the side/slide on the pedal.  Dumb design but.......the light weight of 
the X makes up for alot moving -wise. A sound compromise compared to 
tone-wheel but w/Leslie pretty convincing when compared to alot of clones 
I've used.  I know I'm over justifying here-but I know there will be 
somebody out there who will think I'm nuts to have spent the cash on this 
instrument when I have two of the "real thing" at home.  All I can say 
is, try to find some middle aged musicians willing to honk a 400 lb B3 
& two 122s up a flight of stairs for one night and I'll show you a band
 of masochists.  Anyway, my old dollies are fine for the console but 
the pedals are a disaster waiting to happen whether in a van or trailer. 
I don't know WHAT they were thinking attaching the volume pedal to the 
bass pedals-but gofigger! Input appreciated.  I'm west of Toronto.  
BTW, FINALLY got to see Joey at the Orbit room in T.O. last 
week.....WHOA!!  Regards, Warren
