Douglas Vertical Pedalboards: Transform Your Music Setup

In this week's podcast, we're diving into the world of vertical pedal boards and exploring the unique craftsmanship of the Red Panda Tensor pedal. While browsing Etsy for pedal boards a few weeks back, I stumbled upon a fascinating niche – vertical pedal board stands designed for desktop use.

What caught my eye were these single pedal board holders crafted through 3D printing. However, I preferred handcrafted wooden options, as 3D-printed products feel impersonal and cheap. Enter Douglas Pedal Boards – a discovery that sparked my interest.

Douglas Pedal Boards, a small business in Canada, stood out with its beautifully hand-built creations. The boards exuded a unique quality, far from the mass-produced feel of assembly line products. I reached out to Douglas, delving deeper into his craft, and was fortunate to get my hands on one for my studio – an experience I must say left me truly delighted.

The Klon Centaur pedal has achieved legendary status, with guitarists willing to pay thousands of dollars for an original created by Bill Finnegan. It has been dubbed the "holy grail" of guitar tone by many. In this article, I will examine the hype surrounding the Klon, its strengths and weaknesses, its intended uses, and its modern counterparts.

What's intriguing about the Klon is that it has become more of a brand name than a representation of its sound or design. Unfortunately, the Klon is a prime example of a brand or hype overshadowing the actual sound and purpose of the device.
