Not sure if anyone has noticed, but I think in this review he kept saying he has the medium board, however, I think he has the small board. That does not look like 24 inches across. But I could be wrong.
I have one. It's great and I don't have the same criticism's, which I might add seem overly nit-picky. Feels like a tank in my hands. As far as the look of the brushed aluminum being 'covered' by the velcro? Don't just lay strips across it. I do that too on my black Voodoo Labs board, but here with a little more precision I have all my pedals mounted and no Velcro is visible letting the brushed aluminum shine though. (if that's your thing) In the odd chance I replace a pedal with a radically different shape/size and need to rearrange the Velcro, so be it but I doubt that will ever be necessary.
Am comparing boards to purchase and nearly bought this without in depth analysis… that’s where you came in. Thanks - NOW I’m giving more consideration after watching your review. Much appreciated. Subscribed!
Honest as ever Andy. If they are clever they will take notes and tweak the next generation of this board. Everything you said is correct and very obvious. When you stand back it doesn’t require a lot to bring it up to the pro level. A few common sense things. As a home only user and a fender fan I would snap this up if I didn’t have a board already. I could fix everything myself. Brilliant review Andy, thanks ❤️👍👍
Thanks for the great review! I’ve been looking at these. I think you have the smaller version though not the medium. The cable management clips do look pretty flimsy and the rubber feet strips are extremely disappointing for a “professional” board.
I got a LVL 8 engine room the other day its a great PSU But I couldn't fit it under either of my boards with the way the cooling inlet and kettle lead design, so not shocked they did there own board haha
Fair criticisms. I will say that I love these boards though! I’ve gigged the small one a few times, including outdoor shows, and they’ve been great. Will have to see how they hold up over the long term.
@@wes.farmer Cool! How has the rubber feet held up? And have you tried mounting anything to the "Neutrik holes"? Is there any significant damage to the softcase/gigbag?
@@MrGul The biggest criticism I have is how the rubber feet come. You really do have to glue them down haha. I don’t know why Fender made them like that, because who needs to move them around? I haven’t tried the Neutrik holes, but I can see how they’re conveniently located. The gig bag has held up surprisingly well!
I think Andy is dwelling too much on the 'Professional' tag. These are for bedrooms and hobbyists. I don't think anyone would use one of these for serious gigging. I could be completely wrong on this but that's who I see this PB being for. I have the LVL 8, zero complaints from me. It's solid, well made and quiet. Good value too.
Great board at a great price. This will provide a great platform for any local musician that gigs weekly. Who really expects a professional grade board at $200?
Great review, appreciate the honesty. It always seems like most companies don't get these things right. If you are a gigging musician, you definitely need something that will hold up traveling on the road. This pedalboard would last me about 6 months(the carrying strap I would give a month before it snapped off) and I would be replacing it. Not pro level, but a great board of you were gonna leave it set up at a rehearsal space or at home. Cheers!
I bought this board and the neutrik sockets. You’re spot on that the holes are too small by a tiny amount. I ended up using a file to gently enlarge the holes so they fit perfectly but definitely was a frustration!
@@fredmfp I have the Neutrik NJ3FP6C 1/4" TRS Jack Panel Mount Connector I have 4 of them as I use an effects loop. So I drilled two 25mm holes, one on each of the plastic sides.
@@justwinclassic Ok, thanks for the anwser. I get it. But... how to you plug the output jack from the pedals inside the pedalboard to this neutrik socket? I was thinking of a socket with female in input (from inside the PB) and female in output (from outside the PB)? Do you mean that one has to use a soldering iron?
I know you mentioned this being a medium board, but I’m fairly certain you have the small board there. But I’d really be interested to hear thoughts on this vs the Holeyboard 123.
I have the medium size board and for home users it definitely fits the bill. Professional though? Hmm possibly not so much. The feet should be glued on, I agree. The plastic clips to run the cabling underneath should be upgraded too but they include the zip ties, if that's what you prefer? The plastic sides I don't mind as I'm sure they'll definitely hold up. I'm far from being a Fender fanboy (10 guitars, only 1 Fender) too but I think the highlight for me is the actual power supply. The Velcro isn't some crappy cheap stuff either and they give you a good amount of it. I'm very happy with both my purchases (pedalboard and LVL8 power supply) and I'm sure for me it will definitely stand the test of time. I've seen enough crappy DIY pedalboards with mods that looked horrible but to each their own. So long as it does the job for you, that's the right one.
Great honest review and always entertaining! A thought about the Neutrik connectors, I was wondering if the mounted from the inside, kinda like how you put the grommets in ultimately. I don't have any Neutrik connectors to know if the exterior jack side has a different diameter than the internal connection side. I agree that might not be the most "professional" board. If you put a little bend in the board trying to install the power supply, I wonder how easy it would bend when stepping on pedals and say you lose your balance a little. Might be ok gauge metal for steel, but maybe a little light for aluminum? All that being said, the power supply looks like a great unit! Great job as always. Fair and unbiased.
Number 1. The "Feet" are loose so you can move them to you preferred position. You can then tack glue them to that position. The clips are a brilliant idea as you can move pedals (and the wiring) around without having to cut off the ties. I have the middle size board. I must say that the clips on mine stay in position under all normal conditions. Fender give you the option to use the ties if that is what you prefer. My Neutrik connectors fitted perfectly so I don't know why you had a problem. Were they "Real" ones or Chinese copies? I think you over tighten the power supply holder. If you are worried about the supply moving use some Pedal board tape.
Hey buddy, I'm very tempted to get this board, and very keen to try the connectors. Would you be able to link the exact Neutrik connectors you installed?
I think these boards are conceived as an extremely lightweight solution for the musician on the go (especially the small sized one, which is the one you reviewed). That would explain the plastic parts... it was done wisely to cut the overall weight. The size of the small board may potentially fit a hand luggage for musicians that don't want to check in their gears in pelican cases or pay an extra seat. And even for people that check in their gear weight is important. The plastic clips may not fall IF your cables are nice and tight and soldered to size (at least for the most part). The only criticism I have regarding the board, though, is the fact that Fender does not state the weight of it on their spec sheet, or anywhere really... could this mean that they were not able to cut the weight as much down as they wanted and could not advertise what was supposed to be the strongest strength of their board? Also, the USB PDs on their power supply... nice idea, but the connectors should be on the outer part... I wouldn't want to flip the board upside-down hunting for those small USB ports. The only criticism I agree with in your video was about the bag... zips, hooks and loops must be durable!
Thanks, Andy. I just bought a Voodoo Lab Dingbat medium (super happy with it) but I spent some time thinking about the Fender board (because they are shiny, mostly). I feel better about my decision now!
Every time I contemplate getting a Fender PB I come back to this video and am quickly dissuaded. I own lvl 12 Engine Room that I’ve used for months and love it (got a lvl 5 but haven’t used it yet). Thanks for this video and your critical eye when it comes to reviews!
That USB port would be pretty handy with the Peterson StroboStomp Mini tuner pedal. Its 9v DC power connector is on the side, which makes it a little less space conscious than it should be, but it has a USB C connector from which it can be powered on top, where the in/out jacks also are. So...neat.
I have several pedalboards but I prefer a Taco 🌮 Bell 🔔 tray with a One Spot daisy chain and a vintage suitcase from a resale shop. That rig has never failed.
Plastic is stronger and lighter than metal. Plastic is what is used on backpacks used by mountaineers and thru hikers. ABS plastic used on Behringer pedals is stronger than the metal on Boss pedals. Now you know. That stitching may or may not be a weak point though.
As an engineer, I can promise you plastic is not stronger than metal. Please stop talking rubbish. If it was why wouldn’t they make planes and cars out of plastic 😂😂😂😂
@@jeffery8792 wherever you bought that degree from, it isn’t worth much. There are many plastics that are stronger than metal. Speaking of planes and cars, “Ford's 1941 bioplastic Model T was made of hemp, flax, wheat, and spruce pulp, which made the car lighter than fiberglass and ten times tougher than steel, wrote the New York Times on February 2, 1941.” Planes and cars aren’t made of metal except when less expensive.
a fuzz face won't work with the 9v to DC connector. I tried it with a voodoo labs one and it does not work (only after reversing the polarity it works). these 9V to dc connectors are designed for pedals that do have a dc jack, but do not have a battery cavity.
I think the new Harley Benton ISO Power bricks are thinner and offer the same 'quality' and specs (OK, maybe no USB ports) that these Fender PSUs offer but for a lot less.
I liked the straight forward & honest opinion about this board. I've not been in the market for a new board, but I've often wondered about how "the fenders" fared with theirs. Thank you for the review!
Curious if anyone knows if you can combine the two 12v outs to make 24v for a Deluxe Memory Man. I'm figuring you can using the coupling cable you can get from Analog Man, but figured I'd consult the innernette.
I know that this video is more about the pedalboard than the engine room, but I am in the process of buying a new power supply. I see that the 9v outs are rated at 500ma, but do you know what is the amp rating for the 9-12-18v outs?
Fender definitely need to make an Ultra Pedalboard. The "Professional" seems to be a marketing move to make enthusiasts and hobbyists (like me) feel good about the gear they buy.
