Palmer MI Pedalbay 40

This board is perfect for those who gig frequently or tour, but want something more compact.

PROS: The board allows you to mount your power supply under it so you have more real estate, but still manages to keep a low profile. I have a Voodoo Labs Power Plus 2 supply mounted beneath it with no clearance issues. It has a small footprint, but it can pack a lot of pedals on it. I currently have mounted: Moen GEC9 Switcher, Boss DD7 Delay, Boss RC3 Looper, Boss CE1 Chorus, EHX Oceans 11 Reverb, Spark Mini, Electrofoods Germ Warfare, ZVex Fuzz Factory, and a Polytune. That's quite a lot for a 40cm board. The bag is slightly oversized, which allows you to store all of your fx loop, amp, and guitar cabling with no issues, and the pocket can store a set of small tools, strings, patch cables, and any extra parts you may need.

CONS: The velcro used on the board and the bag handle is not the best of quality. But those are minor inconveniences and don't really affect its operation.

You can't really go wrong with this for the price. Definitely recommended.

This is a really good piece of kit, and comes with a very useful set of accessories.

Mine is currently holding 3 Boss-sized pedals, one amp footswitch (2 switches, about the size of most double pedals) and four mini-sized pedals, and that's about as much as it'll hold.

Your power supply can be bungee'd neatly under the board with the provided elastic, and it comes with way more hook-and-loop tape than you'll need, but the adhesive that attaches it to the pedals isn't as strong as the hook-and-loop and tends to peel off if you try and move the pedals around - it's probably worth finding some different stuff.

The carry case is great - it allows you plenty of room to drop the board in fully loaded, and even put a big reel of cables on top in the main compartment, leaving the external pocket free for whatever else you need.

This is my first pedal board, so can't really compare it to anything else, but I am happy with it so far.

One piece of information I did not find anywhere: the size of the power supply compartment is around 20.5 x 8.5 cm, ground clearance is around 5 cm, and the power supply sits in a recess around 1.5 cm deep. This means that the crossbars block around 1.5 cm on the front and back of the power supply, which can get in the way when connecting cables. I had to put additional padding under the power supply to make the AC connection visible.

I also had to move a crossbar to make the power supply fit (Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 3), and the reason I gave 4 stars for handling is that this was quite difficult. The construction is very tight, and I had to stretch the metal side bars outwards to align all the holes while screwing things back together. Hope I won't have to do it again.

It's almost two years now since I started using and gigging this relatively small pedalboard.

I get it out at least once a week, still looks as new, both the robust and sturdy bag and the pedalboard itself.

I chose this size 'cause it perfectly fits my needs; I've got five pedals velcroed to it: an OC2, a Pitch-black tuner, a Markbass Compressore, a deluxe bass Big Muff and a BF3, plus the power supply (the excellent Power Plant Junior) which I keep on top of the board but could well be placed underneath, with the apposite rubber bands.

It's a fast, easy and safe way to bring my setup with me.
Thumbs up!

Very light and still very sturdy board, quality made and it has a professional stage look. It's ideal for 8 efects and the surface comes alreday velcroed which is great. It enables you the arrangement of pedals clean and tidy as you can guide and tie the cables underneath the board. The possibility of changing the middle crossbars position is unnecessary IMO, for the esthetic point of view and because it will suit most pedals as it is. The bag is very well made too with good padding and convinient to carry as it has a shoulder strap attached and is much lighter then a hardcase. Recommended!

This is my first pedalboard, I've used pedals and multieffects for 20 years but never felt the need before but my wife recently started moaning about all the cables. This pedal board takes all my pedals and with the included Velcro allows me to just pick all of it up and stick it in the nice bag that's provided. Really easy to manage and great for throwing in the back of the car for the drive down to the studio.

Only con is that I wish I'd bought a bigger one as if I get GAS I won't have room for more pedals (might be a good thing!)

Fantastic purchase, solid construction and takes all the hassle out of running pedals.

Thanks Thomann!

Excellent pedalboard for the price! I was a bit dubious of the elastic bands that hold the power supply but I've been using it now for months with no problems. I did have one small issue with the bolts that hold the crossbars in place, because the wrench provided didn't really fit(being slightly to small)it would occasionally slip and would probably round the bolt off eventually.
Even with a bit that fit perfectly the bolt was super tight but once loosened all is good, so other than that its pretty much all good straight from the box.
Would definitely upgrade to another palmer board if I need it.
