Anyone who uses effects pedals will find a pedalboard indispensable in achieving the smoothest possible performance. The RockBoard DUO 2.0 with Gig Bag offers an affordable solution for up to five effects pedals and comes complete with the necessary mounting accessories in a robust carrying case. Designed from a single piece of cold-rolled, powder-coated aluminium sheet, RockBoard pedalboards not only exhibit a high degree of stability but are also free of weld seams, thus creating an ultra-flat surface to which effects pedals of various sizes and shapes can be securely fixed. As an addition to the conventional hook-and-loop tape method of attaching effects pedals, RockBoard pedalboards also feature an innovative slot design for the rapid attachment and removal of effects.
The RockBoard DUO 2.0 provides sufficient space for up to five effects pedals courtesy of its compact width and depth measurements of 320mm and 142mm, respectively, and a height adjustability of 35 to 58mm. The surface, which is slanted at an angle of 10 degrees, is designed with slots that allow the pedals to be attached by conventional means. The appropriate materials, such as self-adhesive hook-and-loop tape and cable ties, are all included in the scope of delivery. However, users will also find the RockBoard QuickMount system a particularly slick means of attachment, which features a dedicated slot retainer for each pedal and provides a simple and rapid arrangement for different applications with equally different pedals. The underside of the pedalboard provides sufficient space for all standard power supplies, but practical mounting solutions are also available as an optional extra.
The affordable price of the RockBoard DUO 2.0 will appeal to beginners or musicians on a lean budget, who are looking to set up a clearly arranged pedalboard but also have the facility to transport and store it safely courtesy of the included gig bag. And the word "lean" is not only applicable to the budget involved: At a weight of just 500 grams, the RockBoard DUO 2.0 is probably one of the lightest pedalboards on the market and yet highly torsion-resistant courtesy of its single-piece aluminium construction and U-shaped support braces. Four large rubber feet attached to the underside ensure a secure footing on any surface, no matter how slippery things get.
RockBoard is a brand belonging to Warwick Music Distribution GmbH, which is based in Markneukirchen in Germany's Vogtland region. RockBoard's range focuses on pedalboards, which are available in numerous different designs to suit any application and budget, and are complemented by an extensive range of pedalboard accessories, from slick patchbays for expanding the boards and high-quality patch cables for loss-free connection through to high-performance power adapters and the "QuickMount system" for rapid effect changes. In short, RockBoard offers virtually everything that players need to easily set up their own individual pedalboard.
Many musicians who play instruments with four, six, or more strings do not necessarily need half a dozen or more effects to create the desired sound. In fact, just a handful of effects is often enough, and this is precisely where the RockBoard DUO 2.0, which can accommodate this very number and provide a safe and permanent home for the pedals, comes into play. The carrying case also ensures that its valuable cargo is well protected during transport and storage, while the slick slot solution enables flexible use and easy installation of the components. An LED light, which is compatible with the RockBoard DUO 2.0 pedalboard, is also available from RockBoard, providing board illumination in a choice of six colours that is bright enough for even the darkest of stages.
