Harley Benton SpaceShip 60XL w/Hardcase

60XL board is a great size for your spaceship! My 60XL chain has boss eq --> spark booster --> HX stomp (with Boss FS7 footswitch) and fx loop to Boss sy-1 and a Moog expression pedal - the main output from HX --> large Ditto 4x looper which is midi synced to a Beatbuddy drum machine (+ off board foot trigger) run through an optional reverb pedal (onboard) - they meet in the middle at a Behringer Xenyx 802 and everyone except the 802 is powered from a palmer powerbar strapped to the underside of the rack with the elastics supplied with the unit. It is full, but everything is in reach and well secured to the fitted velcro. I LOVE the rack for enabling me to get all this on and feeling so solid. Now, the case - the dimensions are great and all of the stuff on the board fits in with the lid closing down no problem without pressing on anything. That said, the case is heavy enough on its own and seriously heavy when loaded. The handle seems ok, but I would have concerns over time and carry mine very cautiously! Also the case hinges are functional, but quite thin metal and I could see them suffering if getting a lot of mileage/stage handling. In the end, if you are looking for a solid, spacious pedal board- look no further. If you want to protect your board at home, in studio or for limited, local travel - look no further. However if you are going to be taking this unit and your precious gear further...then you might want to look further!

The aluminium pedalboard itself is very sturdy and offers options for additional customization/fine tuning (like for example, the bars can be individually adjusted/moved with an included hex key which is very practical, especially when trying to fit pedals that have rubber pads at the bottom). It's great that it comes with hook-and-loop fastener, so you have everything you need to start installing pedals. At first, I was afraid that this combination of carpet-like material plus fasteners will be weak and result with pedals eventually getting loose and falling off the pedalboard, but I've been using this pedalboard for several rehearsals now, and so far didn't have any problems with that, the grip seems sufficiently strong.

The aluminium case is pretty solid, but what I found particularly surprising is the quality of the handle! In all of the years of lugging various musical equipment, I've never found a handle that was designed in such a way to actually make your job more easier like this one was. When you fill this pedalboard with pedals this case can become somewhat heavy to carry (depending on the number and the weight of the pedals themselves of course), and this handle has some sort of a soft rubber material which almost reminds on those memory foam pillows; it will never make your hand all red and sore after carrying it, like some poorly designed handles will do.

The bottom line; I am really content with the quality I got for this price, have been using it for awhile and didn't have any problems with it so far. So, with all these things considered, 5 stars from me!

I have had my pedals in a fabric pedal bag for years now. Switching to this has been easy and very beneficial. Setup time is much lower and I am very pleased to have made the switch.

The product has done its job admirably. I like the fact that everything you need is already included. Within about an hour on receiving it I had set everything up. I'm not sure exactly how I was supposed to use the elastic bands to secure the power supply, but I wanted to mount it on top with velcro anyway so this didn't bother me. It is very easy to adjust the board itself to get the desired angle and layout.

Build quality is very good for the most part and exactly what I would expect as this price point. I have friends who have pedal boards where the sides of the case feel as if they are attached more firmly to the frame. This board doesn't feel flimsy, but I wouldn't be confident stacking heavy gear on top of it regularly as it bends quite a bit under pressure. The actual board that the pedals are on feels very solid however.

Overall, a great purchase for the money.

It's a metal frame with velcro on it that does the same job as other products that cost more than twice the price.

I'm knocking a star off for the quality because I bought it with a PowerPlant ISO-1AC Pro Modular and they both work great individually but they don't quite fit together.

With the horizontal bars on the pedalboard evenly spaced (as it's delivered) the ISO-1AC is 1-2mm too wide to fit between them. After moving the second bar to make room, the depth of the bars meant the outputs on the ISO-1AC were inaccessible.

I solved it easily enough by using a few layers of cardboard as spacers and I'm happy with both products, but it was a bit disappointing that they didn't fit together when they would ony need to change the dimensions by a few millimetres to make it work.
