If you rely on more than two or three effects pedals to shape your tone, a pedalboard quickly becomes essential gear. A dedicated board keeps your signal chain consistent from gig to gig, protects your stompboxes in transit, and cuts down setup and teardown time onstage.
The right pedalboard size depends on how many effects pedals you run now (along with their dimensions) and which effects you plan to add down the road. Mini pedalboards tend to work great for players with three to five standard-sized stompboxes, while large touring pedalboards accommodate expansive rigs with space for larger power supplies and future additions.
Modern pedalboards typically use channels, rails, and cutouts to give you access to both the top and bottom of the board. This makes it easy to route cables, reorder effects, and create a professional layout that survives the load-in/load-out cycle.
Hook-and-loop tape and zip ties are standard for securing pedals and power cabling to boards. For a firmer hold, 3M Dual Lock and Temple Audio Quick Release Pedal Plates offer a road-ready grip.

No matter what electric instrument you play, a large part of your sound is the unique combination of effects pedals you use. Some players use just a few stompboxes, while others pull together a massive array. Either way, once you add more than a couple of pedals to your signal chain, getting them plugged in properly and protecting them between shows can get complicated.
This is exactly why the guitar pedalboard was invented. A well-laid-out board helps you easily access your effects the same way every time and can make setting up and breaking down your stage rig simpler. We carry an extensive selection of pedalboards to fit a wide range of styles and budgets.
Looking for big tone in a smaller footprint? If you get the majority of your tone from a handful of choice effects pedals, our compact mini pedalboards are worth a look. These sturdy, small pedalboards give you enough space for a few pedals and a power supply while remaining easy to transport. Many models let you show up to a gig with your whole board in a small, heavy-duty gig bag in one hand and your guitar in the other.
If you’re the type of player who leaves no tone unturned, we carry a wide selection of large touring pedalboards as well. These rugged pro pedalboards are built to handle the demands of the road and offer a host of useful options. Some feature built-in power blocks that make unsightly piles of wall warts and power strips a thing of the past. Many feature cleverly designed cable management that routes your power and audio cables while hiding them on the underside of the board. You also have a variety of protection and transport options to choose from, from heavy-duty carrying bags to hard-shell pedalboard cases with integrated wheels.
When it comes to organizing all of your sonic gear and getting everything on and offstage quickly, you have a huge number of pedalboard options to choose from. In fact, the scope of it all can be a bit overwhelming, so don’t hesitate to give Sweetwater a call. Let our Sales Engineers know a bit about your goals, and we’ll help you find a guitar or bass pedalboard that fits your sound.
