Donner Guitar Pedal Board Case DB-3 Aluminium Pedalboard with Carrying Bag including Adhesive Hook-and-loop Tape with Power Supply Mounting Space, Size 20'' * 11.4'' * 4''

Product Information

If your amp does have an effects loop, then it’s best advised to run your modulation and time-based effects through it. This basically put your effects between your amplifier’s power and preamp sections. Without getting too technical, this lets the chorus, delay and reverb pedals sound more natural and less ‘in-your-face’. It may not look like much, but the Classic PRO is heavy duty stuff. It’s a hand-crafted pedal board made with aircraft-grade aluminum, and it comes with a professional-grade tour case to boot. Power adapters and patch cables are especially vulnerable to wear and tear, so having them already built into the pedalboard is highly convenient. It also comes with a duffel bag to make transportation even easier. With loads of companies making high-quality pedalboard patch cables, including Fender, Ernie Ball and EBS, Stagg also make really affordable products too. We’d always advise investing in the good quality ones, as not only will they keep noise low, but they’ll also last much longer.

One of the great things about pedalboards is that they allow you to leave the patch cables connected ready for use. This means you rarely need to disconnect your pedals, which has several benefits. Firstly, it saves you time and effort before a performance or recording session. Secondly, it prevents the cables from being damaged over time, when they are disconnected and reconnected. This pedalboard should fit around eight pedals, but of course that will depend on the size of your pedals. Who is this best suited for: The Holeyboard 123 is ideally suited to guitarists or bassists who have a considerable selection of effects pedals, and are likely to expand their collection shortly. The adjustable size of this pedalboard makes it a great option for pedal enthusiasts. So with that evidence, why do some pedal brands still fit their units with them? One reason could be if you just want to use a couple of pedals to experiment with when recording, without featuring them on your main day-to-day pedalboard.

Here Are the Best Pedalboards

Unless you have access to high-strength metals and the tools to manipulate them, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to build a pedalboard that boasts the same level of durability as the high-end options on the market. Nevertheless, building your pedalboard can be a lot of fun.

Additionally, there is another clear reason that using a pedalboard is beneficial – time-saving. The great thing about using a pedalboard is that it allows you to leave your effects positioned in the signal chain so that they are ready to use instantly when you next require them. The Diago Showman is designed to accommodate roughly 15 pedals. It's a sturdy unit with a hard case design offering good protection. Like a distortion pedal (not in terms of how it sounds!), you won’t really need a reverb pedal if your amp already has the effect built-in. If not, then this type of pedal will give your sound some musical space and richness. Dimensions of the DB-2 (8" x 20") may be too small for larger pedal collections. For larger collections, the DB-3 (11.4" x 20") may be better With a rectangular gap located in the center of the aluminum alloy chassis, connecting pedals to the PSU is very simple. The four rubber feet on each corner of the base ensure that the pedalboard won’t move when in use, and you also get plenty of tie wraps for securing your devices to the chassis.

How Do I Put My Pedalboard Together?

Made from aluminum alloy, this portable pedalboard can comfortably fit around ten regular-sized effects pedals. For ease of transportation, Donner has included a canvas bag with two separate compartments and a reinforced zipper.

The bag does not live to the quality of the metal construction and sturdiness of the pedal board, it feels kind of flimsy and with the pedal board made of metal, the pedals attached, cables etc. it gets a bit heavy, but the bag does not come with a shoulder strap but a hand holder that I feel will rip apart if you hold it for long stretches with all the equipment inside, if not well paddle either to protect the equipment you are transporting. I am not so sure why Donner made those silly mistakes; it could be a cutting costs strategy, I don't know, but certainly a shoulder strap is more appropriate to transport your equipment that a hand handle. The reason that aluminum is the most popular choice used by pedalboard manufacturers, is because it is strong and robust, but not overly heavy like some other metals. It is also much easier to manipulate aluminum to be the perfect shape and dimensions of a pedalboard, and it is generally resistant to corrosion.

When choosing a power supply to pair with your pedalboard, you must consider several factors. These are: A chorus pedal is a part of the modulation family of effects, along with phaser, flanger and tremolo. They are often grouped together because they work similarly, colouring your tone via signal processing. But let’s not get into too much technical detail!
