Pedal Pad MPS-XL Pedal Board Road Series Road Large Size

The Pedal Pad MPS-XL Pedal Board provides players with the utmost in flexibility and style. Modular 2-tier stair step design allows flexibility for either 2 steps or ramped style for wah-wah/volume type pedals while keeping your stomp boxes or large pedals flat on 2 steps, or ramp those as well. Whatever combination feels best for your specific pedal chain, setup is a snap!

No more "pointing your toe" to a pedal in the second row and knocking your pedal settings all out of whack in the first row during a performance, which happens all the time with poorly designed, flat pedal boards, or just laying all your pedals out on the floor.

If you have several pedals, just setting them up and connecting the cables can take a while. By the time you're setup, you're tired, or embarrassed if you can't get it all working the way you had it sounding before. You also, usually have to reset all your control settings from handling the pedals, to try to re-capture that sound you had nailed down at home. If you've done it before, then you know how it can knock your whole sound and playing mindset off kilter for the rest of the night! Sound familiar?

With the Pedal Pad MPS-XL Pedal Board - No more untangling cables, risking shorts and wearing out plugging in and out your precious effects pedals. Connect everything only once, hiding all the cables under the aluminum panels for a nice clean workspace. When you're ready to play, just plug your guitar in and you're ready to rock!

The enclosed cabinet protects pedals, maintains settings, and makes transport easy. This model boasts a slick modular, angled design along with Pedal Pad's signature power supply, the brand new POWER PAD II - Switching Power Supply, and the new (optional) Patch Pad Stereo Routing Module, both of which are hand wired point to point and enclosed in heavy duty steel chassis. It also includes a heavy duty 10 Foot Power Cable and (8) 9 volt connector cables in varying lengths, plus a generous length of industrial grade hook and loop materials to secure all of your pedals.

You just won't find a better professional quality Pedal Board ANYWHERE with this many quality features, a switching power supply, setup flexibility, or signal routing capabilities.

If you're a serious minded player and want a professional quality pedal board for both ultimate functionality, ease of use and to protect your valuable effects pedals, then the Pedal Pad MPS-XL is the pedal board for you! That's why it's called by many professional guitar players around the world, "The Player's Pedal Board".

Pedal Pad MPS-XL Pedal Board's Superior Features & Details...

Pedal Pad Pedal Boards has bridged the gap between custom and entry level equipment to allow guitar players to customize their own set-up. The Pedal Pad MPS-XL features moveable aluminum panels of three different sizes which may be configured so that your pedals are right where you need them. The lower tier panels can be rest flat or be raised up to meet the pitch of the second tier for larger type pedals such as Wah or Volume. The Pedal Pad MPS-XL comes equipped with the new Power Pad II Power Supply. (Patch Pad Stereo Routing Module (optional).

The case is built with "road tough" construction, using only the best 1/2" Birch wood sides and 1/4' Luan wood facing reinforced with industrial grade heavy felt covering inside and out, heavy duty steel corners, ATX class latches, sturdy carrying handle, easily interchangeable aluminum panels for pedal mounting in 2 sizes and 2 sets of rubber feet for standing it on end, or flat in playing position and let's not forget the slick Pedal Pad logo plate that music pros around the world are proud to display!

The two-tier stair step design allows for modular pads that adjust to fit longer pedals like Wah and Volume. To take a closer look at the modularity design, click here (Adobe Acrobat Reader is required).

POWER PAD II - Switching Power Supply for guitar effects pedals works anywhere in the world! This power supply cycles so far above the range of human hearing that ripple-based buzz (60 cycle hum) is eliminated. At 1.7 (1700mA) amps of current, the Power Pad II will deliver 9 volts every time and can power an unlimited number of pedals. AC and DC power is circuit protected. While there are 8 x 9V center tip negative type outputs (Boss style), you can also use an optional daisy chain cable to add more pedals up to the 1.7 Amp maximum if necessary (available at your local music store).

It also includes a courtesy AC outlet with 6 amps (6000mA) of power in addition to the 1.7 Amps above. This solves the problem of different voltages and reversed polarities because you can plug those type devices into the AC outlet or a power strip for several different type adapters or AC type pedals.

Included Accessories: The Power Pad II 2 includes (8) x 2.1MM 9VDC (Boss style) power connector cables in 2 lengths (4 x 22" & 4 x 36") and a world-universal IEC inlet with a 10 Foot AC power cable. Also included are mounting brackets designed to fit MKS's patented modular systems which may also be adapted to other drop-in, surface mount type boards.

Basic Info About Effects Pedals: For those not familiar with how much power the average effects pedal uses, or what their correct current or future requirements may be, here is some pedal basics to understand. The average Boss style pedal typically uses between 35-50mA of power. At 1.7 amps (1700mA) of available power which the Power Pad II has, you could theoretically power at least 34-40 pedals! Bear in mind, that you won't typically be using all of your effects at the same time. Since the Power Pad II is a "switching" power supply, it only delivers the necessary power to each pedal as it is being used. Most Boss style stomp box pedals are center tip negative. If you have any pedals that are not, you would want to run them via the AC outlet with their own dedicated adapter or by 9V battery since those are typically Fuzz or Octave type pedals that sound best with a battery. Also, If you have a few high current draw effects such as Line 6 Modeler pedals, or multi effects units, whose adapters are rated at upwards of 2000mA, you could plug 2-3 of those dedicated adapters or AC cables into the courtesy AC outlet (or power strip-not supplied) and then plug all your stomp box pedals into the 8 other outputs and you would be set! You can use L6 Modeler converter cables and EHX style cable adapters and attach them to any of the included Boss style cables and they will work (provided that they are running at 9v center tip negative), but are not included or available through us. We suggest to plug those type of units into the AC outlet if possible to keep them running separately since the L6 modelers, and/or multi-effects units usually require larger amounts of power.

Note: The above Power Pad II also comes with mounting ears as seen on the Patch Pad below to fit into the patented modular system.

Input Voltage: Universal 90 to 264 VAC
Input Frequency: 47 to 63 Hz
Input Current: 6 AMPS (fuse protected)
Output Voltage 1: Equivalent to the Input voltage
Output Voltage 2: 9 Volts DC (8 Outputs)
DC Current: 1.67 AMPS (1670 mA)
Line Regulation: +/- 0.5% max
Load Regulation: +/- 1.0% max
Short Circuit Protection: Continuous
Connections: AC In - IEC style grounded cord (10 Foot)
DC Out: 2.1mm (IS), 5.5mm (OS)
Connectors: Eight Power Connector Cables in 2 lengths (4-22" & 4-36" long) to connect your effects pedals.

Note: The Power Pad II also comes as a stand-alone unit and daisy chain cables (available elsewhere) can also be used if more 9VDC outputs are needed.

International Voltage Users: The Power Pad II runs on standard U.S. 110 voltage. You can, however, plug any voltage in the world into it such as 220/230/240, etc. using a standard universal computer style cable. Just be aware that whatever input voltage you plug into the Power Pad II is the same voltage that will come out of the AC courtesy outlet on the side of the unit if you choose to use it. For example, if you want to plug in a pedal that requires a dedicated adapter into the courtesy outlet and that adapter runs at 110v but your country's voltage is 220/230/240 etc., then you would need a step-down converter. However, no matter what voltage you put into the supply, the (8) x 9 volt DC jacks will still put out the same 9 volts to each pedal, no matter what voltage you put into the main power supply unit. Since this is a switching power supply, it will deliver the required mA to each pedal. For example, if you have 1 pedal that requires 9v @ 50mA and another that requires 9v @ 500mA and 6 others with different mA requirements, the Power Pad will deliver the correct amount of mA to each pedal up to the 1.7Amps.
