Claims17
A pedal board assembly, comprising:
- a pedal board having a pedal board surface structured and arranged to support a plurality of effects pedals;
- and
- a removable pedal switching system, wherein-the pedal switching system is operable to selectively activate each of a plurality of effect loops of the pedal switching system to selectively insert one or more of the plurality of effect devices into an instrument signal path,
- wherein the pedal board includes a receiving area structured and arranged to accommodate the pedal switching system,
- wherein the pedal board includes the pedal board surface, a rear wall depending from a rear of the pedal board surface, a rear support extending from the rear wall and under the pedal board surface, a connection area extending from a front of the pedal board surface, and side walls extending from the sides of the pedal board surface,
- wherein the pedal board surface, the rear wall, the rear support, the connection area and the side walls are formed as a monolithic structure, and
- wherein the rear support together with the pedal switching system support the pedal board assembly on a supporting surface.
