3Cool, but really heavy!
By Ryan Hensen
This board is cool, has cool features, and I like everything about it except I have 3 comments.1) the power cable for powering the whole board (it's a standard power cord, available anywhere) is too short. Plan on buying a longer one or get an extension cord.2) there is no way to put a should strap on the case3) this thing, is reeeally heavy! ..even by itself with no pedals!other than those things, its really an awesome board feature wise.

5The PS-45's Big Brother
By alexbrubakerguitar
Let me first start by mentioning that I've been using a PS-45 for well over a year at home, in the studio, and gigging. It's been great. That was for my acoustic rig. So when I decided I'd start a second board geared towards electric, I decided to go in search of another skb board. I'm big on craigslist, so when I found the PS-55 for half the list price, in great condition, I was sold.Since then, I have reorganized my acoustic pedals onto the PS-55 and have been using it.PROS:Durable - you can knock it around and feel good about your pedals (still be careful, though). It's a quality molded case with good hinges and latches. The handle is a lot more comfortable too.Versatile - there are quite a few power otpions. You really have to make sure you know your pedal requirements (voltage, current, ac/dc, and espeically polarity), but from there you can basically emulate every wall wart configuration, replacing all of the extra power supplies and batteries. There are even variable pots that enable you to change the output voltage with a screwdriver...Quiet - every power connector is isolated, so even with noisy outlets you're golden. It basically does the job of a power conditioner.Cable Runners - all of the power cables can run underneath the board, eliminating the typical mess of cables.Size - there is plenty of room to throw cables on top of your pedals or even to stack pedals if you have the need.CONS:Big - it comes with the territory, but is notably larger than the PS-45. Wheels may be beneficial?Power Supply Hum - THIS IS NOT IN THE SIGNAL! The hum you will inevidably hear, I believe, is from the transformers in the power supply. Again, it is not in your signal and you will not hear it through your amp.Power Cord - is short... But, it's detachable, so you could get a bigger one if you wanted.No Wart Plugs - shouldn't be necessary, but I use a tube preamp that requires 16V, which is not one of the many options. Maybe one or two wall wart plugs would have been helpful?Power Switch - like the PS-45 this has no power switch. Why?Price - I paid $150 for a used one... I don't know that I'd be able to spring for $300...Additionally, the PS-55 offers an onboard preamp and the option for true stereo output. I don't use either of these features, so I cannot comment on them.Overall, a 5. I can't justify even half a point for the cons. It's such a nice board to use and is so versatile. As my electric board expands, I may opt for a second PS-55, but that is yet to be seen.

5Awwesome! Though it is heavy.
By xzxJennaxzx
I've been using this pedal board for about 2 years. I've used it at home, at the studio and have lugged it around to countless gigs. Yes, it's heavy, especially when filled with your precious pedals. I'm a 5' 3" slim female and I carried this board up stairs and elevators, across stages, parking lots and backyards. It's got a lot of weight to it, but if I can handle carrying it with my guitar at the same time, so can you.Pros:has every power plug you would need for your pedalsmultiple ways to wire effectshas a line tester (so you can tell right away which one is the problem)Comfortable handleSturdy case (great for stacking with other pedal boards/equipment)Extra space on top of the case for cables etc.Cons:If your pedals aren't secure enough, they may come off the Velcro and fall from the standing position. Some foam padding would've been nice. The inside of the lid has no padding at all.HEAVY
