Manage pedals without busting the bank

The GPT-PRO pedalboard from Gator is an affordable solution that lets you fix your effect pedals in any arrangement you desire, so they will always be ready for that next gig. This wooden pedalboard is angled slightly towards the player and is large enough to accommodate around 12 effect pedals. What is more, a fixture for mounting a multi-pedal power supply is provided on the underside of the GPT-PRO, and the board comes complete with a black 600-denier nylon carrying case that features soft padding to protect your pedals during transport. The two spacious pockets on the front of the case are also perfect for storing all manner of other accessories.

Keep your effects in order

The GPT-PRO features a sturdy plywood construction and black Tolex covering. It provides a 760x405mm surface for your pedals, which is completely covered with female hook-and-loop material and angled towards the player. Three long strips of male hook-and-loop tape are included to allow pedals to be fixed in place. Four holes for fixing screws are also provided on the underside of the board, allowing multi-pedal power supplies like the Gator G-Bus-8 and others of similar size to be permanently mounted. The power supply's output cables can be routed to the pedals via the two small slots at the upper edge of the board. The design of this pedalboard not only gives you more space for your pedals, it also lets you keep everything tidy and makes tangled cables a thing of the past.

No heavy cases needed

Pedalboards in hardshell cases offer a high level of protection, but they are also heavier and more unwieldy. For this reason, a pedalboard like the Gator GPT-PRO with its padded nylon case is the ideal solution when you frequently have to carry your own pedals from A to B. The carrying case does not significantly incease the weight of the pedalboard, and it also offers space for all manner of extra accessories, like instrument cables, power cords, and even an additional effect pedal that might not fit into a hardshell case. All of this makes the Gator GPT-PRO the perfect choice for those who are willing to sacrifice a certain amount of protection in exchange for increased practicability - and want to save money at the same time.

About Gator

Gator, or Gator Cases, is an American firm founded in 2000 by father-daughter team Jerry Freed and Crystal Morris in Tampa, Florida. Initially, Gator began with a modest range of moulded plastic guitar cases. From there, they expanded the product line to include case and bag solutions for the whole field of instruments and equipment. A wide variety is covered: Instruments, microphones, and all aspects of live performance, including lighting equipment. At the same time, products for other media areas such as photo and video are also available. All products are made of high-quality plastics, wood, textiles, and EVA materials. The Gator companies also include flight case manufacturer Viking Cases and guitar strap manufacturer Levy's Leathers Ltd., as well as Gator Rackworks and Gator Frameworks.

Enough space for all your effects

The GPT-PRO provides enough space for effect pedals of all sizes. 12 standard-size pedals (e.g. Boss compact effects) can easily be accommodated, with careful placement perhaps even 14. This of course depends on how much care you want to take when stepping on your pedals. One thing that is certain, however, is that most single effect pedals will have no problem fitting onto this board, all the more so because the hook-and-loop system makes configuration easy. Another advantage is that, if one of your pedals breaks down during a gig, you can easily remove it from the signal chain during a break in the set.

Size Matters

Eurospace 02.12.2013

Arguably the most important question to consider when choosing a pedal board is the question of size. This one is quite big, with plenty of room to fit lots of stuff.

It's obvious they meant it to be stepped on. The construction is rock solid and the board itself is positioned at a nice angle, which is a great selling point and in my opinion makes it stand out from the briefcase-type boards out there. (I haven't tried one of those, I must admit.) It's quite heavy, though. I guess this is the downside of a rock solid construction; however, even without pedals attached, carrying the thing around can be a challenge.

The gig bag makes carrying easier and offers adequate protection.

The slots provided for mains cables are more than adequate, although it would be nice to have grooves or rails to guide the cables neatly in and out. Underneath the unit you get fixing holes for power units, although I haven't been able to fix anything there so far.

The price is lower than other products of this range, which in no way indicates poor quality.

Overall, highly recommended if the size is right for you.

sturdy

MatthewG 29.01.2014

this is a very large and sturdy board and dear lord does it feel it!
i have walked over a mile with this across my shoulder fully laiden with pedals and cables but the straps on the bag survived without any obvious signs of wear and tear and the carry case didn't seem to have been effected in the slightest so top marks for build quality there!

this board is huge, i have a very large collection of pedals and this gives me room for all of them (except the whammy) and room to lay them out however i want!

the only places that this board falls down are the weight although with a wooden board of this size that is to be expected, the lack of a more heavy gauge padded strap (the strap is perfectly serviceable but i won't be making another trek with mine any time soon) and the fact that it is a solid board so you cannot feed any of the patch cables underneath to keep them out of the way.

So if you want a VERY large and sturdy board as i did then this is for you.
but if you want something a bit more flashy or light weight then i advise you to look else wear and be prepared to pay far more than this for something of comparable quality else where.

Gets the job done

Chris4010 11.02.2014

This is a great quality product, very robust and sturdy, but I've found that this comes at a price. This is that it is very heavy.
On the one hand it protects £1000 worth of equipment and gives me no worries what so ever, but I really do struggle to carry it from the car to the venue etc.

The case is made from a nice thick cloth type material, and the zips are good quality so that they don't get stuck in their travel.
There are 2 large pockets on the front that I use to store my cables.

The board itself is made from a thick and heavy wood. After 2 years use this has had no chips out of it and still looks as new.
The entire thing is covered in Velcro which you can add to your pedals if you want.
Personally I don't want to put Velcro on my pedals, and have found that the case itself holds the pedals in place when in transit, so I don't actually need it.

Overall this case gives me confidence to take expensive gear out of the house, but I really do not look forward to carrying it.

Organisation....

Benjamin311 17.02.2014

...is the most important thing when you use several pedals.

For a long time I never had problem like this, because I ran through a multieffects board and had the footswitch of my amp. But when I added three compact pedals, I needed to have a pedalboard.

The Gator is very big, but I need the size because I still use my multieffects board and the JVM footswitch is very big. The attachment with velcro tapes is a common standard, but what I miss is some slots to arrange the cables under the board instead of on it.

But that's ok, because the price makes it very affordable. The bag is pretty good in order to protect the pedals, but if you want them to be 100% save, you really should consider to buy a board with a hard case.

One negative point: The board is made from wood which makes it heavier than a aluminium board like the pedaltrain. But hey, this thing is really solid and nearly undestroyable - at last this is the most important fact for me.
