SPB-8 Stereo Pedal Board from Furman Sound

It starts innocently enough. You buy your first electric guitar and maybe an amplifier. If the amplifier has a overdrive option, you work with it long enough until you realize you probably need to invest in a distortion pedal. You buy a cheap one starting out, then quickly realize that you need one that is sturdier with better sound. Thinking more clearly, you get both a high gain pedal for hard rock and metal and an overdrive pedal for classic rock and blues. You soon figure out that some songs use a wah pedal so you do the research and pick one out. After awhile you might add a chorus pedal to your collection. Then maybe a flange pedal, a phase pedal, a digital delay, a compression pedal, an equalizer, and a noise suppression pedal. Finally, your floor is littered with cables and old batteries and a light goes off in your head – how can I organize all of these pedals in a way that suits my playing style? Ideally, it would also eliminate the need for batteries! Oh yeah, and be light and portable too in case I have to haul it all to a gig or rehearsal. Finally, a solution exists that satisfies all these needs, the Furman SPB-8 pedal board!
