The Background

"We really went out and did our homework on this one," commented Becky King, SKB Sales Account Manager. "The word we were getting from dealers was that the category was really getting cluttered. Some designs offered superior protection, while others offered advantageous price positions, and yet others offered better power supply capabilities. Listening to the market, and receiving feedback on the products development during the design faze, we are confident we have captured all the critical elements in this one pedalboard," King proudly proclaimed.

"BEST BOARD YET!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
The only thing that makes it difficult is the weight, but WELL WORTH IT and a small price to pay for everything else it does!

Sound
I went from using 2 PS-25 boards down to one PS-45. With the ps-25's there was terrible buzzing and humming especially after a lot of road use and touring. Switching to the PS-45 was amazing. no hum. no buzz. The only other board that may be comparable would be the Furman SPB-8 Pedal Board. I still favor my PS-45 because of the hardcase versus Furman's soft zipper case. All my pedals are nice and secure while on the road transporting from show to show. I play a single cut PRS American Tremonti and a Custom Fernades through a Marshal TSL half stack.

Features
This thing is almost perfect! There is more than sufficient room for pedals! however, like some mentioned before, the only thing I'd change is a detachable power chord.

Ease of Use
Easy as pie. Mine came with diagrams of the chain should work. Plug in and go! The board itself weighs 23lbs without pedals so it can get kind of heavy with pedals and chords within, but really worth it for the sound and ease.

Quality
The hard case protects all of your pedels especially when in tow! Most floorboards don't offer a hard case, but rather a soft zipper case which can cause a lot of settings to be changed and pedals to be pushed around inside (regardless of velcro). read more This is THE PERFECT pedal board for being on the road.

Value
I believe this product maxes out at around $220? WHICH IS A STEAL! I've seen the Furman spb-8 for about $200 and that's with a soft zip up case. I can't tell you how much better my hard case PS-45 makes me feel. I'd DEFINITELY spend the extra $20 for the hard case to protect my pedals!
