Every guitar player knows just how important their pedalboards are to their sound on stage. After all, they provide the tone-bending tools every player needs to wow the crowd all in one convenient and easy-to-stomp package. But not all pedalboards are created equal, and when it comes to bringing your live shows to the next level, there’s no doubt that custom pedalboards are the best at giving touring musicians exactly what they need to put on an unforgettable performance.
Guitarists certainly have lots of options when choosing a pedalboard for touring. However, most mass-produced boards are pretty bare bones, offering little more than a metal rack to place pedals on. They come in limited size options, require separate hard or soft cases, and don’t offer any customization or quality-of-life features that improve a guitarist’s ability to perform.
And that’s not to mention how inconvenient and tedious it can be to set up and tear down these boards. Most don’t include room for power supplies, meaning you’ll either need to sacrifice some of your deck space or deal with plugging and unplugging unruly daisy chains every time you play.
While these simple boards may be fine for beginners, at the end of the day, they just don’t give touring musicians the tools they need to enhance their live performances.
Enter Pedal Pad, the one and only custom hardcase pedalboard solution for professional artists and touring musicians everywhere. Unlike all those boring mass-produced boards, Pedal Pad custom pedalboards give touring musicians the freedom and flexibility to craft a one-of-a-kind board that’s fine-tuned to meet their needs.
So, if you’re looking for a pedalboard for your next tour, here are some of the many ways Pedal Pad Custom pedalboards can enhance your ability to perform.
Nothing can ruin a tour quicker than having the equipment you need break on the way to the next show, but Pedal Pad makes this worry a thing of the past. Pedal Pad pedalboards have a durable hard case built right in, so even if it gets dropped or banged around a bit in transit, you’ll always be able to trust that everything inside will be safe and ready for your next gig.
However, this built-in hard case isn’t just good for keeping your board safe. It makes setting up and tearing down your rig a lot faster. All you need to do is unlatch the top, open it up, and you’re ready to go, making fumbling around with flimsy soft cases nothing but a distant memory.
No matter how many pedals you have or what extra supplies you want to bring along with you, Pedal Pad pedalboards offer plenty of space to pack everything you need to make your performance a success.
In addition to all that deck space up top, Pedal Pad custom pedalboards also have a lot of storage space below the pedal deck. This makes it easy to bring all the extra zip ties, patch cables, and backup pedals you need to make quick fixes on your board if something goes wrong. But that’s not all this space is good for.
Getting your pedals enough power is often the most complicated part of setting up a pedalboard. But this below-deck space makes it easy to integrate your power supplies into the board itself, making powering your pedals and setting up your rig that much easier.
Every guitarist is different, but with a ton of optional features to choose from, it’s easy to build a Pedal Pad pedalboard that meets your specific needs on tour. Do you want to include multiple audio inputs and outputs and send different outputs to different amps on stage? Maybe you want to add an XLR input so you can run a microphone through your board or just a simple power inlet and outlet for easy power supply integration.
No matter what you want to include, Pedal Pad makes it easy to pick and choose the customizable features that you need to truly optimize your set up and improve your performance on stage.
Touring can take a heavy toll on your equipment, so durability is crucial. Here at Pedal Pad, we understand this better than anyone, which is why we take the time to carefully hand-assemble every board from the highest-quality baltic birch wood and ATA fittings. No matter how long you’re out on the road, if you have a Pedal Pad board, you’ll be able to rest easy knowing that it is built to last.
The more you play on stage, the more the equipment you use becomes synonymous with your image. After all, plenty of famous guitarists, from B.B. King and Jimmy Page to EVH and Prince, simply look wrong playing anything other than their signature guitars.
Though not quite as prominent as your guitar, your pedalboard is no different, allowing you another opportunity to express your unique style. Pedal Pad makes this easier than ever by offering a number of colors and finishes to choose from, as well as the option to add custom designs that make your board stick out from all the rest.
