My original Pedal board was just a plank of wood and because I was looking to get new pedals I had to get something bigger. This is the only board that i could find that would hold the pedals that i want to purchase. The size is perfect to hold loads of individual pedals. The convenient thing about this is that you can carry it around like a suitcase and still keep your pedals intact as you can use Velcro (Although I do recommend using the pedal board tape with dual locking as that is stronger than the Velcro that comes with it). This easily slides under my bed and out the way and keeps my pedals dust free. This is a buy for anyone who like myself, likes to use alot of pedals. (WOULD SELECT 10 STAR BUT DOESN'T GIVE THAT OPTION)
