Product 4/9
The Pedal Pad AXS-XL Pedal Board by MKS Professional Stage Products has effectively bridged the gap between custom and entry level equipment by producing a custom design that gives players ultimate versatility to customize their own set-up for a fraction of the cost! This model features a concealed cable routing compartment and a pitched and hinged pedal surface and is 10 inches longer than our standard AXS board, the same size as our MPS-XL except this pedal board is un-powered. The only other difference is the hinged, carpeted pedal surface instead of the metal panel system, which some players prefer since it makes it easier to attach a pedal anywhere on the surface by simply attaching the top hook side of the velcro to the bottom of your pedal and sticking it anywhere on the carpeted area. In addition, the AXS-XL is more than 40% less in cost of the MPS-XL so for budget minded players with more than 8 stomp box type pedals, this is the board to buy.
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. This happens all the time with other poorly designed, flat pedal board "flight cases". In fact, if the board is flat, then it's nothing more than a flight case, not a true pedal board system like the pros use. If you ever tried using one of those flat type boards, then you know it's almost as bad as just having your pedals sprawled out all over the floor! Then there's the nylon zip up type pedal boards that knock your control settings out of kilter when you close down the top and are just as flat and dysfunctional. Heaven help your valuable effects pedals if someone sits something heavy on top of the nylon case! What's the solution?
Enter the Pedal Pad AXS-XL
If you have several guitar effects pedals or more, just setting them up and connecting the cables can take 20 minutes or longer! By the time you're setup, you're tired, flustered or embarrassed if you can't get it all working the way you had it sounding before. You 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. It can even throw your whole sound style and playing mindset off kilter for the rest of the night! Sound familiar?
With the Pedal Pad AXS-XL Pedal Board - there is no more untangling cables, plugging into the wrong input/output jacks, losing your control settings, "toe pointing" or risking shorts and wearing out your effects pedals. Connect everything just once, hiding all the cables you used to trip over under the pitched and hinged pedal surface for a clean and professional workspace. When you're ready to play, just plug in your guitar and start rockin'!
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 effects pedal investments, then the Pedal Pad AXS-XL (Acronym for "Access") is the pedal board for you! That is why it's called by many professional guitar players around the world, "The Player's Pedal Board".
Pedal Pad AXS-XL Pedal Board has a rugged, lightweight design that protects your pedals during transport while making carrying easier.
Note: The Pedal Pad AXS-XL does not come with a power supply.
