The guitar world's favorite pedalboard, improved!

Often imitated, the original Furman SPB-8 was the first stereo pedal board on the market. Furman now offers its successor, the SPB-8C Powered Pedal Board. Featuring a hardshell case, more outlets, improved jacks, and a streamlined look, the SPB-8C improves on the innovative design that made the original pedal board so popular.

Pedal Board
The SPB-8C pedal board features heavy duty metal construction that will handle the most forceful stomps you can offer, as well as stand up to the rigors of the road. At the heart of the SPB-8C pedal board is a light yet rugged polycarbonate platform in combination with an extruded aluminum chassis and an ample 13.75" x 26.75" Velcro sheet. This durable construction ensures secure, non-slip performance of your effects boxes and pedals.

The SPB-C's stereo patch bay contains eight 1/4" switching phone jacks featuring sturdy metal bushings, connected in two 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 two amplifiers simultaneously. From modest to highly complex patching demands, the SPB-8C allows nearly unlimited set-up flexibility.

Powering your pedals, amps and other gear, the SPB-8C offers two levels of surge and short circuit protection, as well as Furman's standard level of RFI/EMI filtering. Furman's SPB-8C is quiet, powering DC pedals without hum, due to the high quality toroid transformer employed. Each DC output is rated at 120 mA, as well as being individually protected against shorts, guaranteeing that if one pedal goes out, the rest will continue to function. Further, these DC outputs are individually isolated, eliminating noisy ground loops. The SPB-8C also includes four AC outlets, spaced widely enough to accommodate bulky "wall wart" transformers.

Hardshell Case
The Furman SPB-8C features a durable polyethylene hardshell case. Built to cater to the demands of the working professional, the case is large enough to accommodate the pedal board and all attached effects, allowing the musician to keep all pedals and stompboxes patched and connected from gig to gig. A retractable handle and inline skate wheels allow for easy transport, while heavy-duty latches ensure the case will remain securely closed when not in use.

A little pricey, but the best pedal board

I was comparing this to the SKB one at the time of purchase. I ended up choosing this one as Furman is a company experienced with power conditioning, whereas SKB is not. In the end, I am very happy with it.

Not what I had hoped

I owned one of these until about 6 months ago. I have about a dozen pedals and having one board to store them and power them with is a great idea. However, this just didn't do what I wanted. First of all, the SPB-8C is just too big and bulky for a pedalboard. it doesn't even fit under a bed! Secondly, it has a problem that every single pedalboard I've seen has: It uses velcro to secure the pedals. For me this is a big no-no. I don't like having my warranty stickers ripped off by adhesive strips. There are better ways pedals can be secured to pedalboards that do not damage labels and void warranties.

Being that I am older and can afford better toys I picked up The Furman. It was one of the best upgrades I have done in years. The only thing that I had problems with was the velcro would not stay on the bottom of my pedals. I was able to put to use some of the Guitar gear that I was not using because of the space on the board and it's features. Best thing I ever did!! Dusty

Much better than the SPB-8.

My SPB-8 failed me within the first 20 hours. I exchanged it for this. This seems like much better quality, not just because of the hard case, handle and wheels. I use a Hot Spot power supply for effects going through the loop, so there's no noise. I'm not sure if I actually need to do that with the SPB-8C, but I did with the SPB-8. The velcro carpeting doesn't feel like it'll hold pedals as well as the SPB-8, but none have fallen off yet.

I just got it today after exchanging my failed SPB-8. Hopefully this one fares better.

Totally Worth It!

This pedal board at first seemed really high priced. I just started getting into using pedals, so far I have 5 Boss pedals, Line 6 DL-4, and my 3 channel Marshall Switch on there, and I still have room for a couple more. The Pdealboard is worth every penny. It is so well built, extremely easy to haul around, set up/take down. If you have spent alot of money on pedals, this things is the ultimate protector. I'm so happy I didn't settle for a cheaper one.
