Wow, excellent pedalboard!
So i needed a new pedalboard and the typical options are usually PedalTrain or similar companies. I would've needed the PedalTrain Pro model which isn't exactly cheap.. So before buying one i decided to see what Thomann could offer as an alternative...
And what dya know?... Thomann have their own range of pedal boards to rival the others on the market! For just a fraction of the price too.
I ordered the SpaceShip 80 on a Friday evening and took delivery on the Monday morning. Super fast delivery! As always, Thomann's service and shipping is excellent.
Opened up the box and was thoroughly impressed with the overall quality and build of the board and carry bag. I'll be totally honest... I expected it to be lesser quality than the other boards out there because of the low price tag. I'll put my hands up on this one.... I was very wrong!
It's rock solid, it's sturdy and doesn't wobble or move. The adjustable legs work great although i left them alone as the incline was already adjusted fine for me.
The velcro actually holds the pedals in place AND it was already very cleanly installed onto the rails which is a time saver. They provide tons of velcro for your pedals too, i have loads left over which i can use for other pedals in future.
You can move the rails and change position of them which is a nice option. I didn't need to, but i'm sure this will be beneficial to anyone using lots of different sized pedals.
I wired mine up with custom cables and did it all underneath the board, using adhesive cable tie hooks and cable ties.
Carry bag is very sturdy, the zips work smoothly and the handles are comfortable to hold when carrying it too.
Honestly, i can't say there are any cons with this board, especially for the price tag. Maybe if Thomann would offer a hard case version too, obviously at a higher price tag than this, then that would be awesome to have the choice.
If you're looking for a reliable, well built pedalboard that'll handle anything from home use to pub/club shows to larger theatre and pro stages... Check these out!

No-brainer
For this price you can't go wrong with this product. I was looking for a cheap alternative for my home-made pedalboard and this does the job perfectly. Well build, perfect accessibility and overall good looking piece of equipment. Also very handy that it comes with a gig-bag.

So many pedals and so much space?!
I initially was worried this pedal board wouldn’t be big enough. But Jesus was I wrong?! I need more pedals as it’s now looking rather bare!
Great quality. Pedals fit well. Would recommend

Absolute unit. Really impressed by the size of this lad.
Sturdy, already carpeted in velcro (nice!), and big enough to fit pedals brilliantly.
It's a h*ckin' chonker, and I mean that in the best possible way. The bag is a must, but handily transports the beast. If you - like me - run a big ampless rig with lots of pedals, this should sort you out. Even with a massive Victory V4 preamp pedal as part of the rig, it's still got room for the rest of the kit.
Seems quite sturdy. Very pleased with the purchase.

Huge board for a low price
I wanted to build a larger pedal board for studio and live use and the price difference between this board and comparably sized other boards was huge. Really the price difference is ridiculous since you are getting essentially the same thing with a different logo.
Pros:
Plenty of room for a huge collection of pedals
Sturdy metal construction
The movable center bars make organizing pedals much easier
Plenty of included velcro to mount as many pedals as you could possibly want
Cons:
It might be a bit too big for live use on smaller stages.
The mounts underneath for power supplies seem a bit badly designed and may not work for all power supplies, I use a harley benton power plant along with a Strymon Ojai r30 and I couldn't find a way to securely mount them using the included elastic so I instead used some velcro tape.
In summary it is a fantastic budget pedalboard that is as good in quality as boards 3 or 4 times the cost.

Definition of bang for buck
For this price, amazing quality. Pedalboard is very sturdy and well-built. The bag seems cool too but I don't know if it would hold up for years. Anyways, for this price range, this is a steal! Awesome pedalboard.

Spaceship FTW
I have 16 pedals on it and still have room for 2 ou 3 more. Nice built, lightweight and affordable pedalboard. The gig bag is sufficient if you dont need to do long travels. I'm pretty happy with it.

Great value!!!
If you are looking for a huge pedalboard but don't have, or don't want to spend twice the amount, you can buy this pedalboard, and believe me, you won't regret it.
Although, it''s not built as solid as pedaltrain, you can still stomp on it with your hardest boot, (and break your pedals) but I think it would still be in one piece...I don't intend to throw it around, I just put all of my pedals on it, and intend to use it to play music.
I have live gigs very often, and so far I've had some since I bought it, and I don't have any problems with it, and I can't imagine any problems in the future. The gigbag is great quality also, and that's good, because the thing is pretty heavy now with my 13 pedals on it... :)
Actually, there was one problem...it came without the hook tape and 2 rubber bands to attach the power supply, but as with any problems when you are buying at Thomman, they are easily solved. They sent me those things right away.
Highly recommended!!!
