Gator Pedal Board with Carry Bag, Pro Size (GPT-PRO) Review

This pedal board is quite solid, and the quality of the bag is quite good. For what I paid, it was a good deal, and met my specific needs. However, along with the good points, there were some issues.

Here are the good points:

-- Solid contruction, although heavy. When loaded up with pedals, etc, it will have some heft to it.
-- composite wood contruction allows for screwing things in place, easily drilling holes where required, etc. This is great for customization.
-- The wood construction won't interfere with wireless receivers (such as the Line 6 G30 product) which have internal antennae in the base of the receiver. Metal frame pedalboards can sometimes cause issues with the G30.
-- The pedalboard is sloped, which not only makes pedal access easier, but also provides a handy place underneath for attaching power strips, DC power supplies, etc. The board comes with screws already in place underneath for attaching Gator's own optional multi-pedal power supplies.
-- The pedalboard is easily removed from the bag.
-- The bag quality is good, which strong zippers which operate quite easily.
-- There are two roomy, sturdy pockets for extra cables, etc.
-- There is a sturdy carrying handle on top edge of the board, which sticks up through the bag for carrying the board in the bag.

Now, here are the negative points:

-- The Tolex-type black material covering much of the board did not have tight seams. In the corners, you could see exposed wood at the seams. I used a black "Sharpie" brand marker to cover the exposed wood so that the seams would not be visible.
-- There were some "bumps" under the Tolex covering in a few places, which indicates that there may have been some surface defects in the wood, or glue bumps, in those areas. Not a big deal, but evidence of shoddy workmanship when applying the Tolex covering.
-- The biggest functional issue was that the "loop" material (which covers the entire top of the board) was lifting up at some of the seams. The material is actually composed of several wide strips, butted up against each other.

The loop material was actually pretty easily fixed. I pressed it back down into place (it still seemed to have sufficient tackiness to the adhesive); then, to ensure that it stayed fastened properly to the pedalboard, I took a industrial stapler (the type used for fastening upholstery, etc) and stapled along all the seams, with a staple straddling a seam every 5 or 6 inches. I also stapled along the outside edges of the loop material covered area. This worked very well. I've had no problems since then with any of the material pulling up, even with some heavy equipment Velco'ed onto the pedalboard.

I then took the same black "Sharpie" marker and colored over the top of the staples, so that they mostly disappear into the loop material background.

Final analysis: although I had to do some "improvements" to the product, I would buy it again if I needed a second one. For the money and my needs, it is a good value.
