From Our Catalog
Guitar players, bassists, and keyboard players have all asked for this, and we answered with the most rugged, versatile, and useful board available anywhere. It features heavy-duty metal construction that will handle the most vehement stomps you can offer, as well as stand up to the rigors of the road. The first stereo board on the market, it is also the first to feature the high level of power conditioning that Furman is famous for.
At the heart of the SPB-8 Stereo Pedal Board is a light yet rugged aluminum platform in combination with a steel chassis, and large Velcro sheet, ensuring secure, noiseless, flex free, non-slip performance for up to 11 effects boxes and pedals.
The SPB-8's stereo patch bay contains ten 1/4 in, switching phone jacks, connected in 2 stereo loops. This allows a single guitar or instrument input to feed multiple mono and stereo effects boxes, send and return from remote effects, and feed up to 2 amplifiers simultaneously. From modest to highly complex patching demands, the SPB-8 allows nearly unlimited set-up flexibility.
Powering your pedals, amps and other gear, the SPB-8 offers 2 levels of surge and short circuit protection, as well as RF and EMI filtering. Furman's SPB-8 is quiet, powering both AC and DC pedals without hum, due to the high-quality toroid transformer employed. Each DC output is rated at 100 mA capability, as well as being individually protected against shorts — guaranteeing that if one pedal goes out, the rest are protected and continuously functioning.
The SPB-8 makes pack up simple and convenient. Un-patching several effects boxes and pedals is no longer required, since the large Velcro sheet and strips firmly secures all of your pedals in place. A soft padded case is included to protect your valued effects boxes. The case includes a shoulder strap, and a zippered pouch for storing cables, wall warts, and AC cords.

Furman SPB8 Stereo Pedalboard with Power Conditioner Reviews
10 out of 10
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"Furman pedal board ROCKS!"
Feature:
Aside from the wonderful sturdy board, the power filtering is excellent, as our 110v supply is very noisy. Like the patch bay, too, though don't need it for my setup.
Value:
I can't believe I got this for as little as I did considering what I paid for the one I replaced with it (SKB).
Sound:
N/A -- this is a pedal board
Overall:
I wish I'd gotten this initially instead of the SKB pedal board -- much sturdier, better patch bay and clean power. Looks like it will last for YEARS.

"Furman hits a home run with the professional gigging crowd!"
Feature:
The materials it included were multiple power cables. Unfortunately, it didn't come with any velcro or patch cables (but then again, I haven't seen one that has offered those).
Quality:
This product seems like it's made very well. The only thing I question is the reliability of the gig bag. I've heard horror stories of the handles ripping off over extended gigging. The pedalboard is built like a rock and, like Boss pedals, should survive a nuclear explosion. I've noticed no problems from the jacks; they seem sturdy and reliable enough for me. I'm a set it and forget it kind of guy... I'll hook it up and once I'm done, I won't mess with it.
Value:
It's pricey, but I feel you get what you pay for. If you want quality power conditioning, a powerful mono/stereo pedal routing system... it delivers in spades. It deducts points for the gig bag, but it looks like for the most part Furman nailed it. I paid $220 for it a while back and don't regret it.
Desirability:
It looks professional and for a very good reason... it "is" professional. It looks sleek and powerful and it does exactly what it sets out to do.
Sound:
It's a pedalboard. I notice no added noise, hiss or humb associated with it. Many professionals rely on Furman power conditioners in their rack setups and as a big pedal user, I rely on this board to give me the purest power conditioning possible.
Overall:
This product works great. One thing I noticed is that with big pedals like the Hughes & Kettner stuff, some of the Line 6 stuff, wah pedals etc. there isn't lots of room to fit other pedals in. A bit more space might not be a bad idea. A more well built gig bag might be a thing to consider as well. If this product were lost or stolen, I would consider a SKB PS-45 (it looks like it has virtually everything one could possibly ask for). I love the power conditioning, looks, and durability. I dislike the gig bag and wish there was a bit more space (although it does hold my 7 pedals fine right now).
