Furman SPB8 Stereo Pedal Board

FURMAN SPB8 Details

DESCRIPTION

The Furman SPB-8 is the first Pedal Board designed with the working professional in mind. Guitar players, bassists, and keyboard players have all asked for this, and we answered with the most rugged, versatile, and useful board available anywhere. It features heavy duty metal construction that will handle the most forceful stomps you can offer, as well as stand up to the rigors of the road. The first stereo board on the market, it is also the first to feature the high level of power conditioning that Furman is famous for.

At the heart of the SPB-8 Stereo Pedal Board is a light yet rugged polycarbonate platform in combination with a steel chassis and an ample 12" x 24" Velcro sheet, ensuring secure, noiseless, flex free, non-slip performance for up to eight effects boxes and pedals.

The SPB-8's stereo patch bay contains ten 1/4" switching phone jacks, connected in two stereo loops. This allows a single guitar or instrument input to feed multiple mono and stereo effects boxes, send and return from remote effects, and feed up to two amplifiers simultaneously. From modest to highly complex patching demands, the SPB-8 allows nearly unlimited set-up flexibility.

Powering your pedals, amps and other gear, the SPB-8 offers two levels of surge and short circuit protection, as well as RF and EMI filtering. Furman's SPB-8 is quiet, powering both AC and DC pedals without hum, due to the high quality toroid transformer employed. Each DC output is rated at 100 mA, as well as being individually protected against shorts -- guaranteeing that if one pedal goes out, the rest are protected and continue to function.

The SPB-8 makes pack-up simple and convenient. Un-patching several effects boxes and pedals is no longer required, since the large Velcro sheet and included mating strips firmly secures all of your pedals in place. A sturdy, padded case is included and comes with a shoulder strap and zippered pouch for storing cables, wall warts, and AC cord.
