Behringer PB1000 Universal Effects Pedal Floorboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an inexpensive pedalboard, costing about 1/2 to 1/3 as much as some of the others.It sets up easily.I do not have any Behringer components, but it fits the small Boss units in the standard slots.They do not provide extra foam for oddly-sized components, of which I have several.For my MXR flanger, Green Screamer, Morley pedal, and MXR Noise Gate I had to cut out custom foam inserts.I found the foam at mcmaster.com.

When closed, the case provides good protection for the pedals, which was my main reason for buying it.Unfortunately the Morley pedal doesn't fit when the case is closed, so I still have some fussing to do to get set up, but it is much better than before when I had all of the pedals thrown into a bag.

The biggest problem with this arrangement is that it is NOISY, especially when using a compressor or the Green Screamer.I suspect that the noise is coming from a ground loop, which is not uncommon in pedalboards, when several pedals share the same power supply.There are some possible solutions, of which the most promising appears to be a multi-tap transformer that would isolate the ground returns.But that is still on the list of things to do.In my case the MXR and Morley run on AC so there is AC power running near the signal lines, which also is probably contributing to the noise.

All told I think this is a decent product, at a good value (considering it comes with what could easily be $50 worth of patch cords).For a garage band, it is adequate.If you are going on tour with Pink Floyd, you can probably afford something a bit more high end.

It's All About Connections
This pedal board makes hooking up 12 2.5" x 4.5" pedals as easy as hooking up just one (of course, if you're using pedals that aren't 2.5" x 4.5", the snug foam padding can be cut to accommodate pedals of varying shapes). The PB1000 includes 1/4-inch patch cables, so you can leave your pedals connected to one another, ready to pass signal even when you're transporting them. It also comes with 1 x 12 daisy chain cabling so that when you plug in the 1.7 A power adapter, all your pedals receive power.
The Ins and Outs
Connect your guitar, bass or keyboard to the single 1/4-inch input in the upper right corner of the board. A pair of 1/4-inch jacks in the upper left corner allow you to connect stereo effects, and two 1/4-inch jacks send a left and right stereo signal to up to two amps. When it is time to load out, just unplug the power supply, disconnect your guitar and amp, put the lid back on the PB1000 and slide the locking latches back into place.
Pedal Protection
The PB1000 is made of heavy-impact plastic, a casing that will protect your pedals from the rigors of the road, including heavy impacts.
