Pedal Pad™ Pedal Boards by MKS Professional Stage Products, Inc.

Dreaming of the perfect pedal board? Well stop dreaming!

MKS Professional Stage Products has effectively bridged the gap between custom and entry level pedal boards by producing a unique modular system that allows guitar and bass players the ability to customize their guitar and bass effects chain set-up for a fraction of the cost. Pedal Pad's patented design allows maximum flexibility to stair-step or ramp your pedals on 2 tiers.

There are 2 basic Pedal Pad Pedal Board types:

1. The AXS Road Series Pedal Boards including the AXS II, AXS-XL and AXS Road Buddy, are designed for budget conscious players who still want the road ruggedness of our Pro Series MPS line and the ability to "stick" pedals anywhere on the felt board surface with lift up panels for storage underneath. This is a Non-Powered board. However, you can still purchase our Power Pad II - Switching Power Supply and mount it to the board surface (Note: The Power Pad II does not fit under the panels due to how the plug is configured within the unit). Effects attach to the board surface with the included Velcro. There are open channels on both sides of the lift up panels and down the center on the AXSII and AXS-XL.

2. Our Pro Series MPS Pedal Board Road series is equipped with MKS' unique, patented, modular design allowing players to ramp, or stair-step their effects in any combination across the board surface with the included interchangeable metal panels. The Power Pad II - Switching Power supply comes standard with the MPS and larger brother, the MPS-XL. In addition, either board can be purchased without the power supply, if you just want the modular design and extra center brace strength. Effects attach to the board surface with the included Velcro, though there are several other methods players have used such as cable ties, etc. Another benefit of having the Power supply inset on the board, is you can use a large part of the unit for added board space such as stretching a wah or volume pedal across the first and second tiers and you can turn the unit on/off from the top of the board.

My Pedal Pad is the coolest. Having the modular panels makes all the difference when arranging pedals. The provided power supply is super clean and quiet too. The metal panels that hide unsightly patch cables have a sleek look.

I recommend Pedal pad to any pro guitarist who requires a reliable board while touring the globe.

"The Pedal Pad Pedal Board is extremely easy to use; the set-up is a breeze, the power supply has more than enough inputs to power a wide array of pedals, and the versatile patch bay is a huge plus. It's compact and sturdy, and I have found it to be very reliable."Guitar World Senior Editor & International touring musician Andy Aledort

Reliability: 10 [Harmony Central Review]
I've had this unit for over 2 years now and it's bullet-proof. It's taken a beating too! I fly out for gigs just about every weekend, and the airlines beat the crap out of it. I open it up when I get to the gig and everything works great. My pedals always sound consistently great when powered from this power supply. Again, the design is ideal for the type of brutal air traveling that is associated with my gigs. I tried 2 other brands of  pedal boards before I found out about MKS and they pale in comparison.

This is awesome! It seriously is a custom board for a fraction of a custom board price. You really have to see them in person to fully know the limitless custom capabilities of it. Thanks again, for the first time in years I'm actually happy with my pedalboard!

I've tried everything from nailing my effects to a 2x4 to custom, hand made pedal boards. NOTHING compares to the Pedal Pad. This is the single best accessory I have ever gotten. Thanks guys, I don't know what I'd do without it!"
