But before we look at all of the key stompboxes you should have, you may already be thinking ‘which guitar pedal should be my first?’. Well, that’s an easy one – a tuner pedal! Tuner Pedal If you're into mini guitar pedals (and why wouldn't you be?) then you'll love the ENO Ex pedalboard. Made from aluminum alloy, this portable pedalboard can comfortably fit around ten regular-sized effects pedals. For ease of transportation, Donner has included a canvas bag with two separate compartments and a reinforced zipper. In their simplest form, pedalboards are essentially flat surfaces that provide a sturdy platform for effects pedals to reside on. In theory, you could make a simple pedalboard using a piece of wood, some Velcro strips, and some rubber feet. Although this won’t provide you with the reliability of a professionally-made pedalboard, it will do the job for a short time. Pedalboards come in all shapes and sizes and are made from a wide range of materials. However, the most common material used is aluminum. There are different grades of aluminum, so it’s entirely possible that one pedalboard could be sturdier and more durable than the next, even though they are both made from the same core material.

Myself and many other musicians rate Voodoo Lab amongst the leading producers of power supplies, so it’s no surprise that they also produce fantastic pedalboards. Perhaps my favorite thing about the Dingbat is that you get a pre-mounted PSU – the Pedal Power 2 Plus, which I regard as a highly reliable power supply unit. But intermediate and pros often mix and match. They might have a Vox Wah, an Ibanez Tube Screamer, a MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay, a TC Electronic Corona Chorus, and a DigiTech Whammy for instance. Who is this best suited for: A high-quality flight case and pedalboard, the G-Tour by Gator is well suited to professional musicians who are constantly on the move.

Well, you’ll be pleased to learn that the majority of pedalboard cable kits are completely solderless. They don’t require any scary soldering irons to wire them together!My Review: One of the most popular mini pedalboards on the market, the Pedaltrain Classic Jr is a brilliantly designed piece of equipment. I’ve encountered these boards on numerous occasions and it is one of my favorite pedalboards on the market. Featuring the classic durability that Pedaltrain is renowned for, this pedalboard is guaranteed to last a long time, regardless of how much it is used. There isn’t that much variation with pedalboards, as they are mostly just flat metal platforms. However, a Mono pedalboard has a slightly different layout and construction compared to a Pedaltrain.

Having said that, battery-powered pedals are becoming phased-out. This is a trend that we’ve seen recently with modern pedal brands, which have identified that most players now rely upon pedal power supplies. As batteries will run dry without warning, a power supply is far more reliable and consistent, especially if you gig!

Who is this best suited for: The Pedaltrain Classic 2 is perfect for the touring musician. The pedalboard itself is highly durable and secure, but it’s the hard case that accompanies it that is arguably more impressive. If you’re likely to move your pedalboard from one location to another frequently, the Classic 2 is a great choice. My Review: Soyan’s Large Pedal Board is an affordable option, which I believe combines durability with convenience. After I analyzed this product, I found that the large and solid pedalboard is ideal for positioning a range of guitar or bass effects, and it has a separate compartment especially for housing a power supply on the underside. When cutting the velcro, ensure that you have the velcro strips running all the way to edges of your pedalboard. This is so that you can maximize its real-estate, and have your pedals pushed all the way up to its perimeter if necessary.

Mount your stompboxes to your pedalboard– After you’ve established your layout, apply velcro to your pedalboard/stompboxes and mount them. Job done! My Review: Before encountering this product, I was aware that Behringer produces a wide variety of effects, and to my surprise, with their PB600 they have designed an ideal pedalboard for housing up to 6 pedals. Patch cables are included with the PB600, as is a 1.7 A power adapter that can power more than 12 devices. The BCB-30 is made from heavy-duty molded resin, which deviates from the usual aluminum material used for constructing pedalboards. This results in the weight being reduced, but not as a result of durability being compromised. Also included with the Classic 2 is 96 inches of high-strength adhesive tape, which is ideal for attaching your pedals to the chassis. The hard case is built to the highest standard and protects your pedals on the road. It is very secure and doesn’t allow the pedalboard to move at all when it is encased.Unless you get power right, your pedals will never sound as good as they can. Ensure that each pedal is receiving enough current and that the power supply you choose delivers clean, well isolated power to each pedal.
