I love the contour design
This kit comes with the pedal board, An AC adapter with 2 different chains; one for a 6 pedal config, and a longer one for 10. It also comes with 2 long Velcro strips to seat your pedals if you plan on traveling with it. It does NOT come with the actual audio patch cables. I love the contour design, it feels right to me. The bag is fine for 99% of us- if you're a professional that's checking this as luggage, you'll want a hard case obviously.PROS:-Fun design. I've never seen one like this before.-While it is plastic, it feels durable enough. I'm not ceremoniously jumping on my pedal board to activate a pedal. Maybe I should work on that.-The oversized zones for expression pedals are nice. The one on the right makes perfect sense- if you want to get real nitpicky, they could have made a double-wide expression zone on the right instead of on each side, as a "traditional" setup would have your wah, volume, etc before distortion boxes, echoes, yadayadayada.. Or heck, just make the entire board as long as a typical expression and let the user decide where to put their effects. But then it wouldn't look like a "bone", which is part of the charm I suppose. Flame away, as I'm sure many of us place their expression pedals at the end of their chain. Calm down, have fun.CONS:- The ac adapter does not have a thick cord. Think standard PC peripheral grade (speakers/modem/router, etc). If you're planning on gigging with this, I'd wind the adapter cable it comes with to the shortest possible length to get everything power, then connect with a good ol' fashioned extension cord right at the pedal board.- Not really a con, but "you may need to buy": Some pedals do not use the standard 9V connection that this board uses (old digitechs and RAT pedals for example) So you'll need to add on a few adapters (readily available on amazon for $4 each).- In my opinion, you're dreaming if you think you can fit 4 standard pedals on an expression zone as pictured. Think about the audio and power patches- where are they going to go?? MXR pedals, perhaps.Overall, glad I picked it up.

I Like the Board
Nice size platform for pedals. I hadn't seen a picture with a Bad Horsie on one of these, so I wasn't sure if it would be wide enough. It's that and then some. The Mega Bone is plenty large. And offers a pretty good set of options for laying out your pedals. The Velcro doesn't really work that great. But it does allow you to switch out pedals easy. And as another reviewer noted, the power supply is cheap, and noisy. But the platform is solid and built to last. The bag is ok. I honestly think if you were going to haul this around to gigs, you would need a hard case. Not the bag. At least not with pedals on the board. For me, this works since it will stay in my music room. And it's just what I was looking for. I will replace the power supply with something more upscale than what came with this though. So you should plan on that if you buy this. As an added note, the power supply, or daisy chain came with two different chains. One was 5 tips, and the other was for 10 connections. Also it had 5 different slide off and on plug adapters for various Countries electrical style outlets. So they did give it some thought. If you have a noise gate, it may solve the noise issue. I've just never needed one before. The pics show a couple layouts to give a better idea of what you can place on the Mega Bone. The white striping is the backing of the Velcro before I took it off the board.

Exactly what I expected
This is exactly what I wanted; a small pedalboard that will fit one large pedal along with about 4 other average ones. The real win for me is that it fits my Ibanez Weeping Demon wah pedal. I doubt most other boards this size would. The Velcro it came with seems strong; I can carry the board vertically with my pedals attached and they all stay put (even the enormous Weeping Demon).I won’t complain about the daisy chain being noisy with more than one pedal connected to it because I am yet to use one that isn’t...it’s just nice to have, and at its worst it still works well as a quiet power supply for one pedal. The carrying bag gets the job done as long as you are careful with it, and the front pocket offers all the space I need. I haven’t had any issues with it breaking or tearing after using it moderately.I read one review that said the rubber feet were uneven on the bottom, but that isn’t an issue for me. The board sits flat on the ground and doesn’t wobble when I use it.I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anybody who doesn’t need space for more than four or five pedals.

Good value and versatile for the money
Purchased to replace an old pedal board I had been using for many years, I couldn't be happier.The item feels solid and well made and nicely finished. It comes complete with a power supply for up to five pedals, and two generous strips of self adhesive velcro which are the whole width of the board x2, to attach to your pedals. It sits true and square and doesn't dominate too much floor space. The item also comes with its own bag to keep the board and your attached pedals dust free.If I was being hyper critical though, the bag could do with being padded a little bit better. Also for the novice, there wasn't any guidance or instructions on how to attach pedals or how to use the board. Now if you are an experienced user of such equipment like me, then you may think they are not needed, but a new comer to our chosen hobby, might need a bit of guidance.My only regret with buying this board, is that I didn't do it sooner. Rehearsals and gigs have been so much quicker to set up since I purchased this. From opening the box to have it up and running with all my pedals on it, took me approx 15 mins, ready to go.A great product, recommended.***Update 28.11.12*** I have just edited this review as unfortunately after a period of use, some of the felt has started to come away from the board with a pedal when you take a pedal off it, so instead of 5 stars, this is now a 4 star product.

This board is really useful in helping avoid the need to set pedals up every time you play. I am very happy with mine. It has been added to my considerable collection of excellent Gator kit.Two small criticisms:1 - it would have been an even better bit of kit if there had been a couple of channels to hide the power cabling...some clips underneath would have contributed to the enhanced tidiness.2 - this one is not Gator's responsibility, but if they'd mentioned it in the blurb it would have been helpful......make sure you order some all-in-one double jacks to avoid having to use patch leads (UNTIDINESS ALERT KLAXON!)...and make sure you get some of the offset variety for the pedals with inputs at different heights (YES, dear reader, I had to order mine and WAIT!)The most important thing is that when I'm gigging or practising I just have to get the board out of the bag, plug in 3 leads ( Power / Guitar in / Guitar out ) and its ready to go.Final Free Tip: fix some of the Velcro to the top of the Power plug and you can be sure that it will stay fixed to the board when it's being stored/carried in the bag.

A good idea with too many problems.
I bought this pedal board back in January and have gigged it every weekend for the last 6 months.Originally I bought this one specifically because it was the right size for how many pedals I use (4 if you really want to know) and more importantly, it fits a wah pedal.So I will list off all the issues in no particular order.1. The power supply does not have enough ampage to support more 3 pedals. Meaning you end up with a lot of electrical interference coming very loudly through your amp. A BOSS power supply sorted that problem.2. To secure the pedals down you stick Velcro to the bottom of the pedals and place them on the felt surface of the pedal board. This is a monumental problem as most wah pedals come with little rubber feet on the base of them making Velcro completely useless. Also the felt has started to peel off the pedal due to the lack of glue sticking it down.3. The carry bag. If you're considering this pedal board then I can safely assume it is for gigging purposes. In that case take this advice. HARDCASES ARE ESSENTIAL!!! No matter how careful you are with your gear, it will get bashed about in the back of a van or just moving it about. This carry bag will do nothing to protect the pedal board.So in conclusion I say this, find something else. This has too many issues and isn't worth the money. Don't make the mistake I did. I hope this helps.

Piece of plastic with velcro and a padded bag.
Do not be tempted by this piece of junk. It is not suitable for purpose claims to take 10 pedals. Any heavier pedals wahs or volume pedals will not be held on with velcro and wiring up all the pedal link leads, power links, all leads to a totally untidy mess. As for value for money this is in my opinion not worth any more than £30. Returning it Immediately, as for the guy on you tube endorsing it he should apologise to every guitarist and hang his head in shame.

Really nice little pedal board
This pedal board is really useful. Power supply works with all my EHX pedals (which I was a little worried about) including cathedral reverb, germanium 4 big muff and mini POG plus a couple of others. Really easy to set up and now all I need to do is plug it in and play. Enough space and power for the five pedals I use but may be limiting for those who use masses of effects.Nice and light to carry although soft case means you need to be a bit careful with throwing it around etc, one nice addition would have been a shoulder strap but no major problem. Almost annoyed I did without it for so long!
