Guitar Pedal Board - Clip-Mount Guitar Effect Pedal board Aluminum Alloy with Carry Bag No Residue GPB-01 Small

My wife got me this Guitto GPB-02 medium-sized pedal board for Christmas. Aclam's Smart Track offers a similar pedal attachment system with more options, but sells for twice the price. This pedal board is a very solid alternative and I don't have to mess up my pedals with velcro or adhesive.Guitto's plastic fixture blocks are heavy duty and have thick rubber liners that keep the pedals from slipping. I used 4 blocks for each pedal except for the mini pedals which could only fit 2 each. I made sure to firmly squeeze the blocks against each pedal as I tightened the bolts, and the grip is strong enough that I'm able to lift the fully-loaded pedal board while grasping any pedal except the mini ones.While a bit heavier than I'd like, the pedal board is extremely sturdy with no perceptible flex. The thick plastic handles feel solid and stay clear of my cables, though there may be a space issue with the smaller GPB-01. The heavy duty rear plastic feet that snap open are very rugged. The soft case has a stiff bottom and lid, with padding all around to help protect your pedals, but time will tell if the zippers and material hold up to normal use.About the only thing I wish it had was a more flexible universal power supply mount under the board. While not all power supplies will fit underneath, my Cioks SOL fits with room to spare. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out a mounting solution without resorting to drilling holes, so until I add another pedal the SOL will stay on top.Two of the hex bolts for the fixture blocks arrived with bad threads. Guitto was responsive and sent 4 replacement bolts to me free of charge. The Guitto pedal board is well thought out and an amazing value, and I highly recommend it.

These are the best pedalboard options in my opinion. There are a few issues with them, however, if you are wanting to get rid of all the velcro, these are the way to go.Positives are that they hold your pedals down without the need to glue velcro to them. You can easily adjust their locations and route the signal cables and power cables. I do recommend getting small 90degree patch cables for your signal or even one of the solderless kits that are available, personally I prefer to just get some premade cables with small 90 degree ends. I also get some cable management clips (you can use whichever you want) to keep the cables nice and clean.The board does come with a quite sturdy zippered case with both handles and strap to carry it. This case also includes a zippered pocket for cables/accessories. the cases are very well made.The bottom has spring loaded feet on the top of it to provide space underneath for power supply and put the board at a nice angle for use. These feet are easily closed to put into the case and easily released when you are setting it up for use.It also has two handles for carrying that screw into the sides. As another reviewer noted these can be in the way at times when you need to plug in your instrument or the output to plug into the amplifier, although this has not been an issue for me very much as most of mine i have arranged the pedals to not have the input/output jacks at these handles, however this can be an issue for some. I am attaching photos of some of my pedal board using these so you can see how i don't really have that issue.The main drawback issue facing this is the power supply mount. They provide some clips to hold the power supply but unless you get a specific one they don't really work. In my case I use some small peices of plastic with glue to attach to both the power supply and the bottom of the board. I know we get this board format to eliminate gluing and velcroing, however, I think that it's okay to glue the power supply to the bottom (on one of mine I did use velcro (loop/loop) for power supply). I was able to use their provided power supply clips on one of the boards i made but i had to modify the clips for it to fit. I just decided that I didn't mind glueing the power supply to the bottom and got some spacer plastic because the bottom of the board isn't flat. I know some people would just perhaps put the power supply on the top of the board then it would clamp nicely, I just like to run my power cable to the bottom and distribute the power from there.The only other drawback I an think of is only going to affect very few pedals. If your pedal has rubber or other feet on the bottom of it, you will want to remove them if they don't line up into the grooves of the board. The way the clamps work is they exert a force that squeezes into the pedals then pushes them downward and if the pedal has feet that hold it off the board then the pedal won't want to stay down completely. I mainly have this on one single pedal on my stereo acoustic pedal board. All of the other pedals are very securely fastened just that one has non removable feet in the corners of the bottom that make it come loose from time to time.To install the clamps make sure that you don't tighten them before pushing them to the pedal as then need some turns to do their clamping and holding. You will see what I mean and get used to that.Overall I am VERY HAPPY with these boards and they are all I use now for pedal boards, they do come in three sizes. depending on your needs. You can also order extra clamps if you need them.Completely recommend these even with the minor issues. 5 Star review from me.

I loved the idea of no velcro, this was a fantastic choice I have 3 pedals so far but it could fit 6 to 8 smaller ones. Very sturdy but light weight. It comes with more than enough clamps to secure the pedals and they're very easy to install.

The concept of these boards isn't new - it was invented by Aclam Pedalboard System, but Aclam ones are way more expensive. Joyo/Guitto took the concept and came up with their own versions, which are more budget friendly although still not cheap.I have two of these boards: small for bass and medium for guitar. Both boards are very well thought out, sturdy, extremely well made, installing and replacing pedals is very easy task once you get used to it. The fixture blocks hold pedals in place firmly, two handles help to move the boards around if needed, flip out front legs provide the tilt, there are power supply mounting brackets under the boards, and carrying cases are also very well made. I had to purchase more fixture blocks for my guitars board, but only because I chose to use mini pedals.Honestly, I can't fault the boards for anything because they have completely fit my needs and met my expectations. Perhaps they could be lighter, but it's really not a deal breaker. Yes, the fixture blocks take some room, and it's not possible to place the pedals immediately next to each other; however, it's a "necessary evil" in order to provide the functionality.Having used Velcro and chain links to mount my pedals in the past, I'm completely happy with these boards and will never go back to the old ways. I highly recommend these boards to anyone who wants to ditch conventional pedal mounting methods.
