Large Pedalboard with Bag - 23.75"x10.6" Black Review

The Best...

I waited to write a review until later...6years later!! I purchased this item because my pedals number was growing. I bought the Voodoo Lab 2plus and mounted it underneath...awesome! I read some of the complaints others have had...it surprises me actually, yes it takes a bit of forethought....to plan your pedal routing options. But anything that is going to function for a long time… read more should be carefully planned out, wouldn't you agree?? That being said...I loved this product so much..I bought one for our other guitarist..who loves it equally as well! Don't be swayed away from this rugged tool...We play out...not just at home...and this product holds up!! Get one.

Sturdy But Not Perfect

This is a very robust board that keeps its shape and supports the pedals well. My main gripe is that the angled slots for cabling don't really work that well. For one thing, the flat "pancake" plugs (low profile) will not fit through the slots, so when using those the wiring has to stay on the top. Overall, the slots tend not to line up with where the cables need to go. Over… read more time almost all of my cabling has migrated to being on top of the board rather than being threaded underneath. The carry bag seems durable and I have had no problems with the zipper or other fittings. A fully loaded board is somewhat heavy, and the carry bag tends to want to tip over in the direction of the top of the board rather than standing on its side. I think that is inevitable with all the pedal weight on the upper surface of the board, and I'm not sure what could be done to avoid that. It is wonderful to be able to pick up and move all the pedals from practice room to gig without a bunch of plugging and unplugging. There is some hazard that knobs and switches near the edges of the board will be altered during a move; it is important to check these before playing. But it is well worth it to have a way to organize things. The board would benefit from more of an opening for power cables to hte power supply mounted underneath. My Decibel 11 power supply uses a removable IEC cable but I have to leave it plugged in all the time because of the confined space. Also -- and this probably happens with every brand of pedal board -- the adhesive Velcro strips tend to creep over time, such that the pedals slowly migrate from their original position to strange angles and spacings. It's not a huge problem. I suspect the only true way to avoid it would be to drill holes in the pedals and mount them with screws, which I have no intention of doing. Overall, this pedal board does the job, and I'm glad to have it. In hindsight I might look at a comparable Pedaltrain model with horizontal rails rather than the angled slots. My real problem now is that I don't have enough room for all my pedals, and may need to get a bigger unit someday!

Velco Strips disappoint, but otherwise great.

The board itself is nice. Solid though not super heavy. The bag it comes with is very nice and rugged. My only complaint is the velcro strips. The ones that came with my board looked like they were cut in a hurry with some scissors from a large roll. Not only were they not long enough to cover the full length of the board, but they weren't even equal lengths with each other.… read more And some of the ends weren't cut straight which means I have to cut off a little more to make it look nice. Everyone knows that musicians need as much real estate as possible on their pedal boards, so cutting them longer than needed (or measured perfectly) makes way more sense then cutting them too short. Now, I can go buy some velcro tape, but it's disappointing that I have to do that with this brand new Gator product. I wanted to give it 4 Stars just because I am annoyed, but that's not really fair.

Great board

First, let me say this is the first large pedalboard I own. So, 1st timer review. Originally I had my pedals chained across the floor.It took some creativity, but I got all my pedals on the board in operable positions. The included velcro didn't work too well (which is why I gave it 4.5). But some zip ties did the trick. I have a total of 7 pedals with volume and wah (large size)… read more as the 1, 2 on my board and everything fit nice. Room for one more small pedal.
