Advanced Kit: Free Routing S2

Pedalboard Smart Track S2

Hi guys,
If you're looking for a cool pedalboard for 10 pedals, the S2 must be your choice !
I like the free routing version as I often change the order/position of my pedals.
And the smart fasteners are just killing the game ! No more Velcro ! :-D
Just didn't find PSU support in the package... :-(
Congrats Aclam !
Musically yours,
Jean-Baptiste

Fast track pedal board

The product is good and very well made. The pedal attachment blocks are not the best design as they limit the number of pedals you can put on the board. I made the mistake of ordering this direct and as I live in the UK got stung £57 for import tax from DHL.

Fantastic product

Great product, exactly what I was looking for. A pedal board that doesn't require Velcro.

Innovative Solution

These are well made boards, possibly the best I've ever owned and I've owned a LOT, from sheets of plywood to fancy custom rigs. I like that it's inherently modular, and that I don't need to put Velcro on my King Of Tone pedal.

One difficulty, the holding hardware takes up a bit of room, not individually but collectively, so you may need a slightly longer board than you are used to.

Expensive but worth it

I’ve had mine for a week. This board is expensive in comparison to the popular models you see (especially if you are not in the EU, expect to pay taxes on import) but the clamping system is worth it. It’s extremely solid and you could pick the whole rig up by a pedal without dislodging it. The wire routing is easy and neat especially if you mount the PSU under the board. You have enough accessories supplied to mount the full capacity of regular pedals. One issue is pedals with multiple side entry jacks (boss style) may need to be shuffled around a bit to get them mounted without occluding a jack, this is only problem if you have a real OCD about everything lining up perfectly.

I Searched High and Low for The Right Pedalboard

After comparing dozens of options, the Smart Track S2 free routing pedalboard had all the features I was looking for, and the bundle included most of what I wanted (I also ordered the 360-degree fasteners and the Fast Fasteners. When it arrived (from Spain to USA in 3 days!), the custom packing alone made me feel like I was a professional piece of gear. After unpacking, the gear was in great shape and solidly build. It took me about 20 minutes to get the right feel for tightening the basic fasteners probably because the concept was new to me. I will probably order more Fast Fasteners because I love them so much - so easy and fast to use but still solid. The included PSU support brackets work great on my CIOKS SOL, which fits nicely underneath. The included soft case is well made and has plenty of room for the board loaded with pedals. The Smart Lock system is working perfectly with different pedal form factors, large or small: 535Q Cry Baby Multi-Wah; Tech 21 RK5 Fly Rig; MXR Raw Dawg Overdrive. It was worth searching high and low to find the right pedalboard!

Nice!

Board is solid.

Easy installation and tremendous cable management

Once upon a time, I had a traditional, rather cheap pedalboard-in-a-case on which velcro held the pedals mostly in place. Soon, I got tired of things moving slightly (due to weak velcro, I know there's better stuff out there now) and I wasn't too happy with sticky tape on the pedal backs, so I went full modeler and called it a day with a single OEM board.
But over the course of time, requirements for different tunings etc. appeared and the number of pedals that had to be placed on-stage grew.
Knowing that velcro wasn't the solution I searched the web for a better solution and there it was: The Aclam board.
Playing a different modeler now that (at least in my opinion) has a better "acceptance" for external pedals, the Aclam securely holds an expression pedal, a BOSS receiver, a Drop, a Polytune, a Fortin Grind, an ES-5 and an analog delay for those freaky oscillating effects I pull out of the hat nowadays.
Underneath the board, the Cioks DC7 sits tightly and the cable management on the "free routing" board is amazing (with the little "Tidy Cable" covers and holders.
Everything's organized now and I'm happy as can be, I just hope the rubber doesn't dry out too fast.

No more Velcro .. yes

Nice strong light gig ready pedal and no more Velcro .. adding on with the next level attachment too!!!

Great idea, great realization!

Works just fine. My pedals are kept firmly in place, yet swapping them is a breeze. Thumbs up for swift customer service, too (I had a question related to order status and the answer came quickly). Thank you, Aclam!

No more velcro

I was looking for a practical pedal board solution that did not require the use of velcro. I find the fastening method to be secure and the free routing option is a good compromise that lets me connect the pedals and then tuck away everything neatly. It does take a bit of learning to optimize where to place the pedal fasteners in order to optimize the available space, but that is a fair tradeoff for this design. The rear deck riser inserts could use an extra 1cm to provide a little more clearance for cables when connecting to the rear jacks of pedals on the lower deck. I use a Voodoo Lab power supply and found that the mounts were not as secure as the ones developed for the pedals. However, this is a manageable issue. The quality of the materials is good and the design is well thought out and executed. All things considered, for the price, I found that this was the best pedal board solution available on the market today if you are looking for one that does not require velcro.

Great product, fast shipping to U.S.

Amazingly this arrived in less than 5 days to central Illinois from Spain and that was over a weekend. Very nice system love the pedal board. If in doubt get the larger board (Im glad I did) because the fasteners take up a bit of space on either side of a pedal.
