RockBoard specialises in pedalboards and accessories, and has been offering a wide range of professional-grade products for many years. Their catalogue features pedalboards in various sizes and price ranges, ensuring that there is an option for every guitarist and bassist. Among their innovative solutions is the Step Up 2, designed to tackle a common issue faced by users of fully packed pedalboards. By raising the height of an effect pedal on a pedalboard, the Step Up 2 dramatically improves access and playability of pedals on the upper rows of a pedalboard. Handily, the Step Up 2 is compatible with any RockBoard or other pedalboard, allowing for quick and hassle-free installation or removal whenever needed. This set includes three pedal risers.
Like all of RockBoard's pedalboards, the Step Up 2 features a durable metal construction, built to withstand the countless knocks and scrapes that inevitably come with touring. The Step Up 2 is securely mounted on a RockBoard by screwing it into the pre-drilled holes or by attaching it with hook and loop tape for quick on and off use. This allows the Step Up 2 to be mounted on pedalboards from other manufacturers as well. Included in the package are all of the necessary screws and plenty of hook and loop tape. The ergonomic, angled design of the Step Up 2 raises a pedal - typically one in the second or third row of the board - for easier access. The support plate is designed to accommodate almost all standard pedal sizes, making it a practical and versatile addition to any setup.
Every guitarist or bassist has encountered this issue: When a pedalboard is packed with two or more rows of pedals, stepping over to reach the right effect can be tricky. Accidentally hitting the wrong pedal or unintentionally changing a pedal's settings can be incredibly frustrating, especially during the high-pressure moments of a gig or recording session when timing is everything. Whether it's for that crucial solo, intro, or spotlight moment, activating the right effect is essential, and this is where the RockBoard Step Up 2 comes in. Designed specifically for these situations, it elevates the required pedal, ensuring easy access and preventing accidental contact with other switches or controls.
RockBoard is a brand belonging to Warwick Music Distribution GmbH, which is based in Markneukirchen in Germany's Vogtland region. RockBoard's range focuses on pedalboards, which are available in numerous different designs to suit any application and budget, and are complemented by an extensive range of pedalboard accessories, from slick patchbays for expanding the boards and high-quality patch cables for loss-free connection through to high-performance power adapters and the "QuickMount system" for rapid effect changes. In short, RockBoard offers virtually everything that players need to easily set up their own individual pedalboard.
RockBoard offers more than just a wide range of pedalboards; their catalogue also includes a variety of practical accessories and functionality-enhancing extras. For example, the innovative Quick Mount System eliminates the need for hook and loop tape by enabling pedals from top brands like MXR and BOSS to effortlessly "click" into pedalboard slots. RockBoard also caters for players' power supply needs with its proprietary Universal Power Supplies (UPS), which are designed to fit seamlessly into pedalboard slots or mount discreetly underneath. For added visibility and convenience on dark stages, RockBoard offers LED lamps that screw into the side of a pedalboard and draw power directly from the UPS. To top it off, RockBoard offers custom-designed gig bags and cases, ensuring secure transport and dependable protection for their pedalboards.
