Yeah I saw that. That thing is HUUUUGE.
I can't imagine ever wanting to use enough pedals at once to warrant that board.

Did you see the guy selling that Hand Of Doom TGD and a neat DIY Ram's Head Muff?
He only wants $50 for the Muff!

Seems kind of ridiculous price-wise. :idk:

I get that it's in a case and all, but I've seen tons of board builders do all out custom jobs of that size with wiring, lights, tolex, specially placed holes for your exact pedalboard, etc for that kind of money.

Mmmyeah... It's a bit on the pricy side but I think that's offset by the sheer humongousness of it.
Let's face it, if you're in a position where compromising on any part of your hueg-ass rig is so completely out of the question that it actually warrants the need for something like that, spending 250 bucks on it shouldn't be an issue.

Edited for clarity's sake.

Sure it is. Because clearly you've spent every cent you have on pedals. :lol:

It's definitely possible to use that much board space and not be ridiculous. My homemade board is 40" wide, and I could totally see using another 10 inches.

this board is actually from the guitarist in gybe who now runs the pines studio.
(i recognize his 8X10 orange marshall cab and BTO amp also for sale)
i knew gybe used a few effects, but I NEVER saw them with a board that big on stage.

He only wants $50 for the Muff!

and i'd be really weary of any home built pedal. i know i'm shitty with an iron, and so can others.
& 20$ for his modded screamer translates into "i fucked it up and you can buy it for cheap to fix it"
