Users of effects pedals will quickly find a pedalboard indispensable in achieving the smoothest possible performance. The Rockboard DUO 2.1 B offers an affordable solution for up to seven effect pedals and comes with the necessary mounting accessories in a road-ready gig bag. Produced from a single piece of cold-rolled and powder-coated aluminium, RockBoard pedalboards exhibit a high degree of stability without the need for welded seams, creating an ultra-flat surface to which effects pedals of various sizes and shapes can be securely fixed. In addition to the conventional hook-and-loop tape method of attaching effects pedals, RockBoard pedalboards also feature the innovative QuickMount System for the rapid attachment and removal of effects.
Measuring 470mm x 142mm (W x D) and featuring an adjustable height of 35 to 58mm, the RockBoard DUO 2.1 B provides ample space for up to seven effects pedals. The surface, produced to an angle of 10 degrees, is designed with slots that allow the pedals to be attached by conventional means. The appropriate materials, such as self-adhesive hook-and-loop tape and cable ties, are all included in the scope of delivery. However, a particularly slick means of attachment is the RockBoard QuickMount system, which features a dedicated slot retainer for each pedal and provides a simple and rapid arrangement for different applications with equally different pedals. The underside of the pedalboard offers ample space for all standard power supplies, however, practical mounting solutions are also available as an optional extra.
The attractive price of the RockBoard DUO 2.1 B will appeal to beginners or musicians on a lean budget who are looking to set up a clearly arranged pedalboard that can also be safely transported and stored in the included gig bag. And the word "lean" is not only applicable to the budget: At a weight of just 700 grams, the RockBoard DUO 2.1 B is probably one of the lightest pedalboards in its class and yet highly torsion-resistant courtesy of its single-piece aluminium construction and U-shaped support braces. The four large, height-adjustable rubber feet attached to the underside ensure a secure footing on any surface, no matter how slippery.
RockBoard is a brand belonging to Warwick Music Distribution GmbH, which is based in Markneukirchen in Germany's Vogtland region. RockBoard's range focuses on pedalboards, which are available in numerous different designs to suit any application and budget, and are complemented by an extensive range of pedalboard accessories, from slick patchbays for expanding the boards and high-quality patch cables for loss-free connection through to high-performance power adapters and the "QuickMount system" for rapid effect changes. In short, RockBoard offers virtually everything that players need to easily set up their own individual pedalboard.
The Rockboard DUO 2.1 B provides a secure platform for both small and large effects pedals on a 470 x 142mm surface, offering players great flexibility for mounting those essential sound enhancers. The robust transport case also ensures that its valuable cargo is well protected during transport and storage, while the slick slot solution provided by the QuickMount system enables flexible use and easy installation of the pedals. A handy tip for musicians who prefer a well-lit pedal area: Rockboard offers a matching LED lighting system for the DUO 2.1 B, providing board illumination in a choice of six colours that is bright enough for even the darkest stages.
