The Tick 2.0 Black - Touring Accessory Pack MONO Guitar

Our review of the Tick 2.0 Black finds it to be a purpose-built accessory pack for touring musicians and gigging players who need organized capacity without adding another bag. The single biggest reason to choose the Tick is its integration with MONO guitar cases: it mounts securely to the case so that cables, pedals and personal items are accessible while keeping the guitar balanced and protected. The Tick is clearly aimed at players who travel light but still need room for extra cables, effects and small peripherals.

Key Features

• Spacious storage: The main compartment accommodates extra cables, small pedals and clothing so users can carry more without overstuffing the case.
• Custom tool pocket: A dedicated tool pocket organizes wrenches, picks and small tools so they are easy to reach during quick stage or rig adjustments.
• Case integration: Designed to attach perfectly to MONO guitar cases, the Tick stays secure and balanced on the case for easy transport and access.
• Pedal compatibility: The internal dimensions fit the Pedaltrain Nano (14in) so players can carry a compact pedalboard ready to mount or swap quickly.
• Internal mesh pocket: A visible mesh pocket keeps important small items in view and prevents digging around for drives or adapters.
• Cable strap: The integrated cable strap keeps leads and headphones tidy and untangled for faster setup.

Who It's For

The Tick 2.0 Black is ideal for touring musicians, session players and gigging guitarists who want a compact accessory pack that becomes part of their case. If you use a Pedaltrain Nano or carry multiple cables, adapters and small effects, the Tick gives organized space without needing a separate carry-on.

Players who do not use MONO cases or who require a large pedalboard will want to look elsewhere; the Tick is optimized for case mounting and compact pedal compatibility rather than large-format boards or standalone road cases.
