I had never used a pedal board before as my setup never seemed to settle. At the same time I was becoming increasingly disenchanted with crawling about in poor light hoping that the right plugs had gone into the right sockets. The two things that attracted me to the Rockboard were the ease with which the setup could be altered and how sturdy it was. Installing the effects and power supply with the supplied Velcro strips was quite straightforward. Wiring is a little fiddly but I don’t see any round that. Have put it together it does seem reassuringly strong, once inside the flight case (which I opted for) it will certainly hold its own in the company of drum cases, amps, etc. I didn’t get the base plate, which I have now ordered, the underside does seem potentially vulnerable so I do recommend this additional measure. Out of the case - plug in - play. Can’t beat it.
