Feature:
This unit is great if you have a lot of Boss pedals; you may have trouble squeezing in pedals from different manufacturers. That being said, the foam panels are easily removable to fit larger pedals, and a blank piece of foam is included in the kit, to custom cut for an odd shaped pedal. I have a full sized EHX Metal Muff in one of my boards, and it fit just fine by removing the foam panel. I have also added a Danelectro mini pedal to a full(6 Boss pedals)board, and it fit perfectly above and between 2 pedals...the board has a daisy chain with 8 connectors, so having more than 6 in the board wasn't a problem. I don't tour, and my rig stays set up in my living room, so I can't comment on durability. I will say, that contrary to what someone else mentioned, I don't have a problem "stomping" the pedals.... and I'm not a gymnast........
Quality:
IMHO, it's built like a tank, like other Boss products. High impact plastic, thick inner foam to protect the pedals. I bought one of my 3 boards from a touring musician, and it was none the worse for wear after 2 years use.
Value:
The price seems average to low for pedal boards. Definately worth the money, and readily available on the used market for around $100. But buy a new one from Zzounds.....ahem......
Desirability:
are pedal boards sexy? hmmmmmmmm......
Sound:
the unit does not add any noise interference that I can see...and I have 3 of them, chained together.
Ease of Use:
as stated before, no extraneous noise. One thing worth mentioning; though the unit comes with all the connector cables you need, DON'T LOSE THEM!!!! The Boss cables are sort of propriatary ; The pedals are spaced too close together to use most generic 6" connector cables! one of the second hand boards I bought was missing a couple of cables, and after searching for months, I was finally able to find a couple that fit...for $15.00 each!!!!!. So don't lose the Boss ones, and you won't have any trouble.
Support:
Never had a problem, after owning dozens of Boss products over the years.
Overall:
As I mentioned; I have 3 of these pedal boards, chained together, with one filled with distortion boxes & looped through a noise gate; I have owned them, off and on, for 5 years, and aside from trying to find replacement 6" connector cables, I've had no problems at all. If lost or stolen, I'd definately replace them with the same.....
