Vangoa Guitar Pedal Board with Built-in Isolated Power Supply, VPPD-S Aluminum Small Portable Folding Powered Guitar Pedalboard with Carry Bag, 2.8lb, Gray

Great sturdy pedalboard with a nice LED effect and built-in power supply. This fits a decent amount of pedals in a small form factor, making it very easy to bring around with you to gigs. The audio-based LED lights on the front are a really nice touch, the built-in power supply doesn't cause interference, and it also saves you money on having to buy a power supply. I definitely like this pedalboard.

SUMMARY:I figured an all-in-one unit like this would make some compromises, especially at this price, but it’s hard to find any faults in this thing! It’s not built like a tank or anything, but it would totally work for most people’s use case.PROS:- The power supply works great! No noise! I expected this to be the weak link, but it has given me no issues and has lots of power to spare! Has 12 and 18 volts too! You can probably power everything you can fit on here. I have a OneSpot and the new Voodoo3+ and I see no need to use either of those over the built-in supply.- It is very light weight and low-profile, especially when you consider it saves you a power supply.- The bag is pretty good. Not going to protect your pedals if you stack speaker cabinets on it, but it will work for transportation, and it is light and comfy to carry.- The LED level indicator is actually pretty sick, too! It’s adjustable, so I got it to go into the red right as my amp breaks up. You can use the included TS in/out to trigger it, or it uses ambient noise level if you leave it unplugged.- It has an ON/OFF switch!!! Why don’t all the big name pedal power supplies have a simple OFF switch?!?! I love it way more than I should.- The main power supply has changeable connectors if you travel, and this seems to be a modern switching power supply, so it should work everywhere.CONS:- Good quality, but not a tank. Serious touring musicians probably want something more sturdy. If you use the flip out feet, I would not stand on it to hard with a Wah pedal, or the aluminum will bend in the middle. If you want to step on it a lot, just leave it on the ground and route the cables through the channels or just over the top. Or maybe put the Wah on the side…- The power supply uses a very small connector for its’ main power. I have already broken the connector twice. Luckily it is easily replaced with a generic one, but being able to use a standard power cable would be great (and include the transformer in the board itself).SUGGESTIONS (for the manufacturer):- Please make one with a built-in battery! A couple reviewers have suggested that, and I agree that it would be awesome to not worry about power for the duration of a set. It would also bypass the issues I had with the main power supply plug.- Ditch the underside routing for cables and just make the whole thing more sturdy. You don’t need to go to steel or anything - just make all the rails more solid underneath.- Make the 12 or 18 volt supply switchable to a 9v high-current port and this would be near perfect as a power supply.- Bonus points if you make a couple of the inputs so you can “sag” the voltage or the current. It produces a cool effect on some vintage analog pedals, and it should be a simple addition if you are making a new version…At this price, I will likely buy another if mine stops working, or they come out with a new version.

I picked this up for 110 dollars around cyber monday 2024. More than worth it, I have had it for a few months now and everything works as advertised. Based on what I was seeing when I was shopping around, this was the best bang for your buck if you did not already have a pedal board setup. The built in isolated power supplies are a total game changer, and there’s plenty more of them than I needed. No longer do I have a mess of noisy daisy chained pedals all over the floor; it looks much nicer and sounds much nicer too. The only noise coming from my rig is the normal amount that comes from the amp (plugged guitar directly into amp for a simple check). As an added bonus, it came with a nice case, plenty of Velcro, and a variety of different length power cables to get you going. The rest is what you do with it. Pedal boards don’t design themselves… but Vangoa makes it a hell of a lot easier for someone new to the pedal board scene.

What I like:1. Solid build.2. Came with the cables needed.3. Size is convenient.4. LED VU Meter5. The Power Cable length is good.6. Was able to fit my Cry Baby on it.7. Velcro is extremely strong; your pedals will not fall off during travel or grab the board in a rush.8. I did not notice any difference in noise feedback, which is good.9. The price was great! (I almost bought the Vangoa power supply, then found this board with the power supply in it.)What I dislike:1. LED VU Meter doesn't have proper range. Touchy, it goes from nothing to 95% with 1/12th turn. (I have not tested the input-output on the board yet, but I probably won't, just to avoid using more cables and fewer chances of noise/feedback. But I don't know if this is better actually for noise reduction).2. Velcro is stronger than the adhesive.3. Velcro is so strong that it bent the bottom metal of my Cry Baby and pulled off the plastic battery cover.4. The legs collapse a little too easily.Tips:1. You will need a spatula to remove the pedals. DO NOT try to pull them off.3. If you have a full-size Cry Baby, place it lower so the feet of the Cry Baby rest on the floor. This makes the board less likely to tip forward when pushing to click on the Cry Baby.4. If you want a Cry Baby, spend the extra $30 for the smaller model; it will fit better.5. Leave some space between your petals, enough to remove an audio plug if needed.What could have been better:1. Standard Velcro usually has plenty of strength.2. Slightly wider bag with a styrofoam block that can be cut to fit a full-size Cry Baby Pedal better and protect the board and petals. The styrofoam that came with it would have been helpful for this purpose, but it was not wide enough to protect a Cry Baby Pedal.3. Including a flat plastic hand spatula to move/remove the pedals.4. Slightly thicker rubber feet on the bottom mount for stabilization and less chance of the board sliding.5. A rigged in the Legs mechanism that snaps them into position.Summary:Worth it! Happy with it!
