Great Pedalboard
I needed something a little bigger than my then current pedal board, a PT Metro 24. As a long time PT user I know their board sizes and they didn't do the size I wanted. After coming across this Palmer board I did some research and decided to take a chance on it. I'm very glad I did. It's the perfect size & it's very light. The adjustable rear legs are great too. The soft case seems well made, time will tell if it's sturdy enough.
There are only two things I don't like about it. First, the power supply brackets underneath - the elastic supplied didn't hold my CS-6 very firmly, and the brackets got in the way of the power cables. I removed the brackets and screwed my CS-6 in through its mounting holes . Secondly, the edging strip - this is attached to both sides of the board and it is slightly higher than the velcro that is next to it. If you use velcro on your pedals, you won't be able to overlap these brackets so your useable board width will be 40mm less than the 600mm stated. If you use pedal board tape on your pedals instead of velcro, it's thick enough that you can overlap these brackets and use the full width of the board, depending on the width of your pedals of course. These two things are minor issues, I'd still buy another Palmer tomorrow if I needed another board.
The adjustable middle bars are a nice touch, I moved one to get exactly the spacing I needed.
Price wise, this is very cheap compared to the other big name brands.
I'm really happy with this board.

Good for the price
This is the first board I have bought so I am a total novice at this.
So whats the difference between this and a pedaltrain? I asked myself before buying, I wasn't sure so I gambled. I am not dissapointed at all, the solid construction and adjustability if this board is fantastic. The bars can be adjusted 10 cm each giving you a chance to mount the awkward pedals, the angle can be adjusted with the 2 props at the back that also have self leveling feet. Also there is no drilling required like with a pedaltrain.
The velcro strips supplied are strong and plentiful, but be aware that you will have to take the rubber bases off some of your pedals and also any little feet that they might have. Otherwise the velcro will come off them easily.
The bag that it comes in is absolutely great! Rugged materials and good details such as padlock loops on the zips and a velcro handle to hold the 2 carrying handles together. The clips on the shoulder strap could probably suspend a baby elephant they are that rugged.
Would be a 4.5 rating because of the following niggles:
1) The bar adjusting screws might have been put in by the worlds strongest robot and I very nearly broke a finger getting them to move.
2) The power supply holding straps are pretty inadequate and do not allow for smaller sized power supplies, so you have to get inventive or mount it on top of the board as I did.
...also buy a few cable ties as they will neaten things up. Also get the flat ended patch cables to avoid frustration!

Amazing
This is a very high quality pedal board specially for the money , I am using Truetone 1 Spot Pro CS12 which fits perfectly but i added a couple of pedal board tapes underneath it to lift it up a bit because the output terminals were hidden behind the chassis of the pedal board itself but after it was lifted it fits well and the pedal board stands with a proper ground clearance , and on-board I have 11 pedals , 5 of them are strymon flint size like pedals and the rest are boss like size pedals which is more than enough for most people.

This is my second pedalboard ever, hope this will be enough to store all my pedals.
It is well build and reliable. One can easily mount the power distributor under the board using the elastic bands.
It's quite huge, I believe it can carry up to 12 pedals.
The weak point is the bag, although it has some protection, I would not rely on it that much.
Otherwise, excellent for its prise. Recommended.

Really nice!
I was going to order the Pedaltrain Junior but I noticed that the powersupply I'm using (Palmer PWT 05 which is great!) wasn't going to fit under it. Stumbled upon the Palmer pedalboards and I thought hey why not give them a try!
I've played 2 shows with it and plenty of rehearsals already and I feel like this pedalboard is GREAT! Very sturdy, lots of room and being able to tilt it and adjusting the crossbars is awesome.
My only real complaint is that the "allen key screws" to adjust the crossbars did not match the allen key that was provided so I just used a nipper (is that what they're called?) and since its pretty much a set it and forget it kinda thing it didn't really bother me. But yeah it's a great product and I will keep using it! :)

Solid piece
Sturdy, well made, includes everything you need: rubbers for your power supply, stickers for pedals. I was able to fit some bulky pedals (gamechanger plasma, boss RE-20) along with regular-sized stuff, and still can fit 10 pedals easily.

Good Quality
Very good quality. Using the Kemper Remote + Expression Pedal. If you need two expression pedals you will need a bigger one.

Palmer MI Pedalbay 60
I decided to build my first pedal board for my bass setup. Having to always build the signal chain each time I wanted to practice was a pain, not to mention costing a fortune in 9V batteries. The construction is robust and the support rails are adjustable to suit your pedal configuration is the unit is also height adjustable. It is supplied with plenty of Velcro fastening tape. A nice padded carry bag is also included.
Pros:
Easy to setup and build onto
Solid construction
Plenty of Velcro fastening tape supplied
Height adjustable
Padded carry bag included
Cons:
None
Verdict:
I?m very pleased with my purchase. The unit arrived on time as always and was easy to setup.
