Gator G-MEGA-BONE - Mega Bone Pedal Board with Carry Bag Power Supply

This is the perfect pedal board for me. Ergonomic, fits a good number of pedals but not too many. Frankly, I ordered this pedal board to put a physical limit on how many pedals I could splurge on. So far, so good. It's nice to have this manageable set up compared to some of my friends who have to carry a table-sized board everywhere.I've got 5 small pedals on there, a wah, a Ditto X2 (which is 'double wide'), and I still probably have room for one or two more and a power supply. The picture is pretty accurate about what you can fit on it, and I think it's the right number. I like the curved profile, if for no other reason that it's kind of different.To save room, I've been using these connector cables, and I really really like them: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002IAJ56/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (it doesn't specify quantity, but you get at least 5)The case is fine, though the front pouch doesn't zip (it's velcro), so I keep small things like picks in a cloth bag inside. Working out so far!

This kit comes with the pedal board, An AC adapter with 2 different chains; one for a 6 pedal config, and a longer one for 10. It also comes with 2 long Velcro strips to seat your pedals if you plan on traveling with it. It does NOT come with the actual audio patch cables. I love the contour design, it feels right to me. The bag is fine for 99% of us- if you're a professional that's checking this as luggage, you'll want a hard case obviously.PROS:-Fun design. I've never seen one like this before.-While it is plastic, it feels durable enough. I'm not ceremoniously jumping on my pedal board to activate a pedal. Maybe I should work on that.-The oversized zones for expression pedals are nice. The one on the right makes perfect sense- if you want to get real nitpicky, they could have made a double-wide expression zone on the right instead of on each side, as a "traditional" setup would have your wah, volume, etc before distortion boxes, echoes, yadayadayada.. Or heck, just make the entire board as long as a typical expression and let the user decide where to put their effects. But then it wouldn't look like a "bone", which is part of the charm I suppose. Flame away, as I'm sure many of us place their expression pedals at the end of their chain. Calm down, have fun.CONS:- The ac adapter does not have a thick cord. Think standard PC peripheral grade (speakers/modem/router, etc). If you're planning on gigging with this, I'd wind the adapter cable it comes with to the shortest possible length to get everything power, then connect with a good ol' fashioned extension cord right at the pedal board.- Not really a con, but "you may need to buy": Some pedals do not use the standard 9V connection that this board uses (old digitechs and RAT pedals for example) So you'll need to add on a few adapters (readily available on amazon for $4 each).- In my opinion, you're dreaming if you think you can fit 4 standard pedals on an expression zone as pictured. Think about the audio and power patches- where are they going to go?? MXR pedals, perhaps.Overall, glad I picked it up.

Nice size platform for pedals. I hadn't seen a picture with a Bad Horsie on one of these, so I wasn't sure if it would be wide enough. It's that and then some. The Mega Bone is plenty large. And offers a pretty good set of options for laying out your pedals. The Velcro doesn't really work that great. But it does allow you to switch out pedals easy. And as another reviewer noted, the power supply is cheap, and noisy. But the platform is solid and built to last. The bag is ok. I honestly think if you were going to haul this around to gigs, you would need a hard case. Not the bag. At least not with pedals on the board. For me, this works since it will stay in my music room. And it's just what I was looking for. I will replace the power supply with something more upscale than what came with this though. So you should plan on that if you buy this. As an added note, the power supply, or daisy chain came with two different chains. One was 5 tips, and the other was for 10 connections. Also it had 5 different slide off and on plug adapters for various Countries electrical style outlets. So they did give it some thought. If you have a noise gate, it may solve the noise issue. I've just never needed one before. The pics show a couple layouts to give a better idea of what you can place on the Mega Bone. The white striping is the backing of the Velcro before I took it off the board.

Very nice design and it holds all of my pedals. Comes with a carrying case and velcro strips to attach your pedals. I love the design. Everything is very easy to access. It also comes with a power supply and cables for multiple pedals which I didn't need. Now I have a spare I guess.

Lightweight, fully equipped with power supply and daisy chain, Velcro,etc. Makes transporting your pedals a breeze, it's"one connection and done". So easy to transport.

This has made gigging so much easier. The curved design is perfect for accessing pedals. I've had no issues with wobble. I've been gigging 2-3x per month with it for 2 years and it has shown no signs of wearing out. Highly recommended.

Power supply is so, so. It can be noises, however I got it quitter by feeding straight in to boss tu-3 tuner, then using the daisy chain cable out of it to the higher gain/ noisy pedals. The pedal board is fine for my home use. Buy for the board, don't put much value in the power supply.

The board is great. Excellent quality. Exactly what I was looking for. Just a tad overpriced.

Ottimo

La pedalera es muy buena, y me ha servido muy bien durante varios años. Sin embargo, el gran problema es que la alfombra (?) que tiene para pegar los pedales con velcro se cae muy facilmente. Si acomodaste mal un pedal, o quieres quitarlos para limpiarlos, o incluso al guardarlos en la bolsa y cargarlos, con su mismo peso van despegar la alfombra de la base. Yo lo solucioné pegándola de nuevo con diferentes pegamentos (y de igual manera tengo que ponerle más pegamento de vez en cuando), pero pues no debería tener que invertir en material para arreglarla...

Aunque cumple su función, dudo que esté hecho en USA tal como dice la descripción,es obio que es chino, material plastico cutre , acabados justitos.. al poner el primer pedal se ha despegado la felpa que lleva del plastico base así que he tenido que poner pegamento,la fuente que supestamente trae no es la gator 8-bus,sinó un simple transformador de muy mala calidad con varias puntas ranificadas(suena mucho ruido electrico por el ampli al enchufarlo), asi que sigo usando el que ya tenía yo, aunque tb es chino por lo menos no mete ruido.. así que bueno 117 euros por un cacho de plástico pues es caro, aún asi estoy contento por su funcionalidad.

Me parece un poco costoso el producto. Me equivoqué también y pensé que traía algun pedal. No debería llamarse pedalera para no causar confusión, sino llamarse base para pedales.

good worth the money
