Pedal Pad is a custom pedalboard maker that builds hand-assembled pedalboard/case combinations from Baltic birch plywood. The original concept was developed and patented by Michael Stratton in Topeka, Kansas, where he designed it as a gigging musician looking for a faster way to set up and tear down a pedal rig on stage. The company is now run out of Coatesville, Pennsylvania, by Phil and Kris Osborne, who continue to build the boards to order rather than mass-produce them.

The defining feature across the line is a hinged pedal deck that lifts to reveal a lower compartment for cable routing, power supplies, and storage, with the whole unit doubling as an ATA-style hard case. Models include the AXS series (including the AXS III and the smaller AXS III Mini) and the MKS Professional series, which features a pitched two-tier stair-step surface and integrates the company's own Power Pad power supply and Patch Pad patch bay. Boards are offered in 2-inch size increments and can be ordered with a wide range of Tolex and tweed finishes, along with custom power and audio connector options.

Pedal Pad markets itself as an alternative to mass-produced aluminum pedalboards, with an emphasis on customization, built-in cable management, and an all-in-one board-and-case design. Players such as Dweezil Zappa and George Lynch have been associated with the brand.

Pedal Pad has 5 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Pedalboards.
