In the context of a guitar effects pedalboard, the term “board” refers to the physical platform or surface on which guitarists organise and mount their effects pedals. This board is designed to hold multiple pedals securely in place and allow easy access during performances.

A pedalboard typically features a flat or slightly angled design with enough space to accommodate various pedal sizes and shapes. It often includes features like:

• Velcro Strips or Adhesive: Used to attach pedals firmly to the board, preventing them from shifting during use.
• Cable Management Systems: To help organize and route power and audio cables neatly, reducing clutter and potential tangling.
• Integrated Power Supply: Some pedalboards come with built-in power supplies or the capability to mount power supply units underneath, providing power to all connected pedals.

Pedalboards are essential for musicians who use multiple effects, allowing them to create custom setups and switch between effects quickly during live performances or recording sessions.

They also help protect and transport pedals efficiently, often coming with cases for easy travel.
