Product Description

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 vehement 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 aluminum platform in combination with a steel chassis, and large Velcro sheet, ensuring secure, noiseless, flex free, non-slip performance for up to 11 effects boxes and pedals.

The SPB-8's stereo patch bay contains ten 1/4 in, switching phone jacks, connected in 2 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 2 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 2 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 capability, as well as being individually protected against shorts — guaranteeing that if one pedal goes out, the rest are protected and continuously functioning.

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 strips firmly secures all of your pedals in place. A soft padded case is included to protect your valued effects boxes. The case includes a shoulder strap, and a zippered pouch for storing cables, wall warts, and AC cords.
