I was browsing on ebay last night, and i came across a company that makes "Monkey Dream" pedalboards. They look awesome, and they're extremely affordable. The smallest one is 12" x 24", and it's a small $99, but they make some bigger ones as well. Figured I'd post here and see what people thought of them!

they would be 20% more aesthetically pleasing if they removed the "monkey dream board" from the back face...

Gotta put your logo somewhere.
It's okay, but it seems a little expensive for some plastic and an LED. Then again people pay more for simple circuits, so why argue? Cool concept, just a little pricey, IMO.

that's what i thought at first, but it's got holes for the wires to go underneath, and it looks pretty sweet. i'd buy one before i bought a pedaltrain in a heart beat.

I've wanted a board like that forever and was thinking of making it. Then I saw someone already was and the price killed it.

i guess i just don't like the name...
they are pretty nice though; i can imagine them looking sweet on a dark stage.

I think it if was called something abit more sci-fi or something it wouldn't be so ugly.
but the addition of monkey into the name of anything makes me think of being 15.

I would honestly never purchase something called the "Monkey Dream" no matter how useful it was..... I don't even need a board, but I'm just sayin......

i dunno i'm not really a fan of how flashy and illuminated it is. i prefer my gear and stuff to be more understated and minimalist, and neon lights with 'monkey dream' emblazoned on the side is not exactly low key. i would go with one of those bedroom boards, even though they're probably a bit more expensive

It's like, for those dudes that install those bright neon lights on the underside of their cars......

It'd be cheaper to make.
