I'm not sure if you did a lot of gear reviews, but it's actually really pleasant !! :) :) I always loved your english accent and all around energy and it's very good for reviews too

Hi Justin. I was looking for a small board last week and I stumbled across this XPND.. I knew "expandable" was a thing because my big board is a Holeyboard 123, but I wanted to make a small "micro" board, and with my "pedal addiction", I knew expandable was the way to go. I received it on 3/1 and it is exactly what I needed/wanted. As for the power supply not fitting underneath, my plan for now it to add some velcro to the back side of the back rail and just stick my current supply on like that for now. It will not be underneath, but it will be attached. The Cioks looks like a perfect fit, can't wait for your video update to see how it works. For those doubting expandable...don't. Pedals are an addiction and you will be thankful you can just add another on when your next one comes in the mail.

Hey Justin! Love your vids! You're the one along with Marty Schwartz that taught me guitar the last 5 years or so, and I just wanted to say thank you and that I'm really greatfull for that! Also thank you for the givaways!

[@justinguitar]

Cheers :)

[@bellachi9575]

Thanks. Mine was just delivered. Very helpful in putting it together. This is my first pedalboard!

[@BlackRootsAcademyOfSoul]

Very nice review 👌🏿 Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

[@arabianseagull]

enjoying watching you assembling the XPND Pedalboard. Lol

[@justinguitar]

Exciting eh... edge of the seat stuff... wasn't sure if to speed it up or leave it... but was under 10 mins right ;)

[@arabianseagull]

@@justinguitar Exactly but very interesting/useful piece of equipment the XPND pedalboard. thanks

[@CFBEvaluator]

This is right on Time I was just needing this and thought about welding an extra piece to my mini pedalboard but you saved the day Justin!!

[@justinguitar]

it's a cool toy!

[@BanteilangRumnong]

Mine did not come with a solderless and wire cutter but it really a nice little expandable contraption

[@billcasablanca2441]

Hope my videos can be as good as yours one day Justin!

[@justinguitar]

It's just practice... and posh gear :) lol

[@TheReclus3]

Would a Voodoo Labs 4 X 4 go underneath the board?

[@scottwa11ace]

I just kept looking at your Panerai watch!

[@justinguitar]

I like watches! and this is my fave...

[@Mutombo71]

Can you stick the power supply between the two rails?

[@54fighting5]

26:30 LOL I was talking to the screen13 minutes beforehand saying "see if the feet pads will adjust higher to allow the power supply to fit". That along with wanting to call Ziggy to give her a head scratch.🐕 Looks like a handy tool for your purposes. Cool video, I hope you get the power supply sorted.👍

[@davidjohnalpha]

Nicely entertaining and relaxing 🙏🏻✨🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@QueenWaspGo]

I think maybe it depends on if you want to keep the board raised with the feet to fit the Generator. I didn't see any good measurements posted for the underside of the board without the feet included, but it looks like you can raise the board a fair bit. If you want the board flat maybe Cioks or Voodoo Labs is the way to go. I'm just sad this board isn't deep enough for the Boss Wireless Expression Pedal and the bigger one is just huge.

[@justinguitar]

The Cioks also slightly too big - mine just arrived and tried it on, close, but not quite!

[@rzh3443]

Your mechanical skills are to admired. I personally have enough assembly Allen wrenches laying around to construct a main battle tank. I assume “made l in China with USA “design”.

[@OscillationOverdrive]

Can't you just velcro the GigRig to one of the ends?

[@DarkaFire]

Great review Justin, thanks - I like the look of the board but would have to try and find a power supply that would fit underneath.

[@andyk.5771]

D'Addario Costumer Service confirmed Cioks DC7, KSE Falken 1, Voodoo Lab Pedal Power x4 fit under the board.

[@DarkaFire]

@@andyk.5771 Thanks Andy, in the end I got the Pedaltrain Nano board with the Truetone 1 SPOT Pro CS^ low profile power supply as I didn't think I'd need the expandability of the XPND board.

[@Aniki82]

my pedal board is very simple now, it's a Boss super overdrive (opt) / 1 Rat / 1 Line M9 / Sometime the Boss RC3 I would love this kind of small pdelaboard, but finding a good power tank, ideally rechargeable with Lithium is more important I was looking at something like the ROckboard for exemple But the M9 is 2A (!!) 9V ... It seems I can't find anything higher than 500/800mA 9V out there V_V

[@justinguitar]

I'm waiting on a Cioks one which is thin enough to fit under it!

[@Aniki82]

@@justinguitar ok I saw that at the end of the video you "promised/annouced" a follow up video about the power tank we will probaly love this video too ! :) Thanks agains

Ziggy! 🤫 😄

Justin could you teach who are you by The Who

[@Mike-rw2nh]

A bit off topic but Mother of God, I really thought you were holding a Sten Sub-machine gun in the thumbnail. I’m too young for ‘senior’ moments. 😳

[@justinguitar]

yeah, I don't have any sub machine guns!

[@FormerlyknownasT]

Hey Justin .. Speaking of Lego .. did you gey the fender strat and Princeton amp .. looks very cool .. 😎 I got one for Christmas.. haven't put it together yet.. ( have to wait until I put up some new shelves.) That pedal board looks good .. 👍 Bet you end up washing the dog 🐕 🤣 T 🎸🇮🇪

[@justinguitar]

Nah... Fender not in my good books, long story. I'm mostly into Lego cars...

[@FormerlyknownasT]

@@justinguitar just popped into the Lego site , some of those cars look very cool ..

[@Aniki82]

20:30 !!! hold on a seconde; what is this sorcery ???!! ahaha You can make cable this simple?? what brand are they ?? this a revolution to me !!

[@justinguitar]

It's pretty clever eh!

[@keithm2327]

@@justinguitar if u need video ideas maybe u can compare the sound of these Solder less cables vs the normal ones . I wonder if there is much of a difference. Regardless I enjoyed this video !

[@stockholm1752]

Unless you’re a player who uses only 3 - 4 pedals, it’s just too small to start. It would be more useful were it a medium to full size board with an expandable row on the side (to add on a few occasional extras). Having an all-in-one stomp box (GT-1000) is the only way this setup is viable. Too small for me, but I guess it might be useful to some.

[@bellachi9575]

They come in larger sizes. This is the small one.

[@stockholm1752]

@@bellachi9575 Good to know. Thanks.

How to correctly change guitar strings? Why standard guitar is tuned a440 Or a5 pitch?

"Duh-dario'

[@martybreen6228]

Yes Justin - that was a very sloppy video. You’ve not done Daddario any favours by being so unprofessional. But at least it was honest.

[@ianwalsh9552]

Cheeky bastards. .at least give it to the guy set.up so he can review it.

[@colaboytje]

Paid by...

[@SOLIDO-PS]

So?

[@colaboytje]

@@SOLIDO-PS It's not a review.

[@justinguitar]

Why is it not a review? I'm not the guy that says stuff is cool if I don't dig something, in fact - I rarely do product reviews because frankly I can't be bothered making videos about stuff I don't like!! If they sent me the board and I didn't like it - there would not have been a video!!

[@colaboytje]

@@justinguitar Because the guidelines for reviews say that the review can't be paid for. That is all I meant. And you say something weird at the end: if I didn't like it, there wouldn't be a video. Well the point of a review is not to like it, but to review as is, even if you don't like it.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

@@colaboytje Get what you mean, but I get asked to review stuff every day - seriously. All the time people wanna pay me to sell their crap. But I only review things I like because I don't have time to waste on crap! :) but I also point out things I don't like in the rare reviews I bother with.

[@cawfeedawg]

I would never buy this. I’m tired of factories outsourcing assembly labor to the paying customers. Next it will be amplifiers and guitars. I blame IKEA

[@rzh3443]

Yes, for 100 bucks and a little more cardboard that should have been the case, but every square inch counts on a container ship. I suspect that product costs less than 10 bucks to make at the factory. I suspect we will eventually cook our own meals at many restaurants.

[@justinguitar]

took less than 10 mins, not really a big deal is it? Not sure why it didn't come assembled but wasn't a huge hassle!
