Pedalboards

Pedalboards provide a physical platform for mounting effects, power supplies and control hardware. Size, surface layout, height, weight, cable access, mounting method and the position of the power unit all affect whether a board is pleasant to use or a small aluminium punishment device. A flat board is simple; angled or tiered designs can improve switch access, while flight cases and bags change the transport trade-off. Plan around the largest pedals, expression travel, wireless antennas and mains access, then leave room for service loops and one sensible future addition.
