Empress ParaEq with Boost Review

Empress ParaEq with Boost
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I typically play a Gibson 335, Les Paul, Strat or Tele through a Tone King Meteor II (high end boutique version of a 60's fender blackface). I usually get either lost in the mix or dominate it. With this pedal I found two narrow frequencies that caused the problem and cut them. Then I add a wide range for a top boost. Problem solved--AMAZING tone that sits in the mix like in the studio.
It's a boring concept. $250 for an EQ? It's very worth it. I have owned EQ pedals before and not really understood the point. I suppose the quality of this is so superior that dialing in something useful is much easier -- I DO NOT like graphic eq's.
It's the only pedal on my extensive pedalboard that i would not ever consider replacing (although the empress superdelay, while quirky is a close second)
Really excited about this company!

Pretty remarkable for a guitar pedal.True Bypass - The Empress ParaEq w/Boost employs true bypass, so you can be sure that it's not affecting the signal when disengaged.Perfect Size - The enclosure measures approximately 4.5" by 3.5" by 1.5", which is delightfully small when considering all the features packed into this unit.45 Day Money Back Guarantee - If for any reason the ParaEq w/Boost isn't for you, send it back within 45 days for a refund.

Furman SPB-8C Deluxe Stereo Pedal Board with Hardshell Case, Handle and Wheels, Power Conditioner Review

Furman SPB-8C Deluxe Stereo Pedal Board with Hardshell Case, Handle and Wheels, Power Conditioner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product is one of the best! I used it before and fell in love!
It has a power conditioner included preventing that sound polution which is so important when you play in different places that might not have the best equipment or have a lot of lights.
It does feel a little heavy but pedals usually are a kinda heavy so that doesnt help. Despite it being heavy, it has a good handle, wheels, and is made out of hard plastic, you can't get lighter than that!
It has an ideal space for a good number of pedals, you don't need to remove the rubber from your pedals ( I saw someone say it in a previous review ). I bought some velcro and pasted it to the bottom of my pedals, adding an awesome grip for moving around and preventing the pedals from flying all over the place when traveling.
It's a great item to protect your investments.

Dunlop MC-403 MXR Custom Audio Electronics Power System Review

Dunlop MC-403 MXR Custom Audio Electronics Power System
Average Reviews:

I'm running a pretty big pedal board with 10 DC (all 9 volts) and 2 AC powered pedals (line6 M9 and Digitech Whammy Wah) and this does the job flawlessly. Absolutely no noise or interference. It replaced my Voodoo Labs AC power and Pedal Power II. This unit is very well designed and well built. The information I found on line was a little sketchy and careful inspection of the pics online weren't consistent. I took a chance on buying this hoping it would power everything I needed and luckily it worked out.

Pedaltrain Pro With Hard Case Review

Pedaltrain Pro With Hard Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Pedaltrain Pro is a great design, and it comes with a real tough case.
Minor cosmetic damage on the case from shipment. It can handle the road for sure.
Depending on how many pedals you have, this board is perfect. Mine is full, and I wish I had more of a place for all my power, but it's easier than trusting the electronics on other pedal boards.

ISP Technologies Decimator G String Noise Reduction Guitar Effects Pedal Review

ISP Technologies Decimator G String Noise Reduction Guitar Effects Pedal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This thing is amazing, for the price you pay you get what you deserve. For years I have been turning the guitar itself down and playing covered up in the only position that has the least amount of hum. I have spent hundreds chasing a way to control this to be a least tolerable. ISP has provided it for a couple of hundred.I Really wish they would have come up with a few years back, they would have saved me countless hours of frustration. Seriously, whether your a single coil or a hum bucker player you need this pedal. Loop or at the end of your string it is the absolute best in its category. I will never consider parting with it. Get yours today , you've read this far. Put it in the cart, you will be very glad you did. :-)

The Decimator G String is a noise reduction pedal that delivers performance like that of the renowned ISP Decimator ProRackG. The Decimator G String provides a totally independent channel of sound reduction that can be inserted into a series effects loop or after a preamp section with the advantage of having the Decimator level detectors track the guitar signal directly. With the G String pedal you can set the threshold and no matter what level of noise the Decimator will track perfectly without any side effects. And the amazing thing is that you can switch from high gain to your clean channel and never have to switch the Decimator G String off due to the threshold being set too high. It's simply transparent.The noise reducing pedal has an input to connect a guitar directly and a buffered output signal to feed the front of a guitar rig directly while providing a separate audio channel of Decimator that can be inserted in the signal chain of any guitar rig. You can insert any other pedals between the output of the Decimator G String and the input of your guitar amplifier. This allows the Decimator G String pedal to remove any level of noise you may have even with overdrive pedals at the front end of the amp.

Line 6 Floorboard - Guitar Pedal Board Foot Contr Review

Line 6 Floorboard - Guitar Pedal Board Foot Contr
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I use the Floorboard with the Pod Pro, though it is also designed to work with Line 6's Flextone series of amplifiers too. It's really easy to use, although you can either have it in "select the patches" mode, or "manual mode" though you need to be en garde at all times, as the same buttons do different things in the different modes. It has some great - amazing, really - flexibility in the manual edit mode, and brilliantly clever little touches like "boost" functions for EQ, overdrive and distortion. You want to hit that solo? Step on it, and it goes a little louder, a little brighter, or a little nastier depending on what you step on.
However, unless you trained as an organist, in a live session you don't want to be jumping around like Michael Flatley jabbing your toes at various buttons in the manual edit mode, clicking delays in or out, and then switching modes (another button) when you want to change patches - realistically you will just have a patch *with* delay set up next to an identical patch *without* delay. But if you're in patch mode, you don't have access to the boosters - which really would be useful. But it's such a great thing I think, dammit, I'll just get comfortable training to be an organist.
Its construction is as hard as nails, but - and it's a big but - the patch switches kick in a split second after you stamp on them, not immediately, as you'd expect with a stomp box. This is a major weakness. Since I use it with the Pod, and only really in the home studio environment, I can live with this. But I don't think it would fly in a live envinronment. When you want to switch from Fender Tweed to loud JCM for that face melting solo, you want to do it *now* and not some time between now and the next beat. I don't know if this can be fixed in future models, but it needs to be.

SKB PS45 Deluxe Pedalboard with Hard Case Review

SKB PS45 Deluxe Pedalboard with Hard Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In my opinion SKB's PS45 is the best case out there before you start getting into custom solutions. ESPECIALLY for the Amazon price (20 cheaper than the online music retailers and free shipping which is uncommon for this item too)! Furman power strip is great too offering both protection and as many plugins as you'll need for the pedal space provided. The only reason I would upgrade from this pedal board would be if I run out of pedal space. Even then not all is lost, as the furman strip detaches from the skb case. So I'll be able to use the furman strip in an ATA case if necessary.

Complete with a hard case providing full enclosure, the SKB PS-45 offers six different configuration options and can power multi-voltage pedals. Like all SKB hard-shell cases, it is backed by SKB's unsurpassed Million Mile Unconditional Lifetime Warranty.SKB really went out and did their homework on this one.
