Twelve years, running strong

I'm sure there have been some industry-standard improvements in these types of all-in-one pedalboards over the last 12 years, but my SKB PS-45 hasn't given me a reason to look elsewhere.

Between enough on-board power for 11 pedals, and the fact that it's stereo output with independent external FX loop relays for each channel, this has served my purposes for over a decade. The ability to plug your guitar in and pass the end of your pedal run back to the patch deck, a handful of velcro cable ties means I can keep things neat and in place without it looking like a plate of spaghetti.

The locking latches for the case cover have lasted me over the years, and I can cram this thing anywhere and know my setup will show up at the destination ready to snap off the lid and plug it right in. That's the type of convenience I have come to depend on using this thing. The fact that it has an in-line fuse to protect your setup means you can plug this thing up to a surge protector and know you're hiding your gear behind dual layers of defense should the power situation become unstable.

This is one of the best investments I have made, and while I have other smaller pedalboards that I Frankensteined with external pedal power supplies for other setups, this pedalboard is on my main rig and likely won't be going anywhere any time soon.

Pretty sturdy workhorse

I've been dragging this thing around LA for 12 years now and it still works, so that's surely saying something. I did have to bring it in for a repair around the halfway point, but I think it was really just a matter of blowing debris out of the places it'd crept into. More recently I'm finding that some of the power cables are getting janky, and the replacements I bought don't seem to work with it at all, so I'm starting to think about switching to a pedalboard with spaces between the boards so I can have more control over placement and wiring. I will probably keep this one around for home use tho.

This thing keeps everything out. Except dirt.

This has kept my valuables safe for a long time now. Freaking airport security screwed up the latches, but it has a lifetime warranty! Just mail it back and they fix it free. That is amazing. But its discontinued.
