The Gator GPB-LAK-1 Pedal Board is a nice simple heavy duty aluminum mountingarea for your stomp boxes and includes a power supply bracket on the underside. Ihave easily installed, with the included Velcro, four 2-1/2" wide pedals without aproblem. If you had one more mini pedal you could easily install another pedal on theboard.-- Pedal Board Stats ----------------------------------------------------------------> Aluminum Thickness: 1/4 inch> Total Footprint Width: 15-1/2 inches> Total Footprint Depth: 8-1/4 inches> Pedal Surface Area Depth: 7-1/2 inches> Front Height: 1-1/2 inches> Rear Height: 3 inches> Rear Access Opening: 1-1/4 inch diameter> Power Supply Bracket Size: 6-1/2 in (L) x 2 in (H) x 3-1/2 in (W)> Board Weight, w/o pedals: 3.5 pounds [Manufacturer pub. board wt. = 5 lbs.]> Board Weight w/ 4 pedals (2-1/2 in. x 4-1/2 in.): 5.88 poundsThe pedal board has a nice rake on it so accessing the buttons on your pedals is easy.There are plenty of access holes for running your connectors and power lines. Also avery nice mount under the board for a power box if you so choose.The Gator comes with plenty of 1-1/2 inch wide Velcro and it work very well keeping thepedals on the board. I've had no problems with any pedals dislodging or moving onaround even one millimeter.You need to remember that the connecting cables between the boxes will take up someroom. My equalizer has the power outlet on the side of the box. Most box power outletsseem to be on the top end of the pedal. So, plan carefully by first doing a mock up withall your connectors and power cables installed before you finally Velcro them down.The padded case is well made with 2 heavy zippers on the top. There is a zipperedmesh compartment inside the lid to hold extra equipment. I am able to easily place a 10foot connecting cable in the bag with the board and pedals installed. Whether it wouldwithstand a world tour I can not comment on. I would not call it 'Heavy Duty', but it mayhold up under concert conditions. The board is definitely long term durable.The pedal board case has a 1-1/2 inch wide padded handle as well as a shoulder strapwith a shoulder pad. The bag has two plastic feet, each 2 inch by 3 inch, on the "bottomside" so you can store your bag upright like a suitcase.Overall, a nice pedal board and case and I give it a 5 Star recommendation. They willhold up for multiple gigs and make it easier for you to share your music as you hear it.
