Finally, they're ready! For those of you who have seen some of our pedalboard prototypes, we've been holding out in order to offer you the complete pedalboard package: - Pedalboard - Flight Case or Soft Case - IEC Adaptor Cord - Patch Box (4 way TRS) - Pedal Slabs (for mounting your pedals neatly on the board) - Power Supply Bracket Set (for underside mounting) Our boards are made from perforated mild steel and powder coated black ("any color so long as it is black").

  Some see them as an artistic extension of your guitar and some just need a sling to hold your instrument in place. Whether you're a strap collector or just plain tired of balancing your guitar on your knee, straps are a crucial part of your setup.
