I picked one of these up used the other day for a good deal. It's the largest size, but same otherwise. A couple things that weren't really touched on: -the pedal connectors can be offset, on different tracks, allowing the pedals to be pushed together to the width of one connector rather than 2 on the same track. -the actual surface can be flipped over in the bracket, allowing it to be used in the conventional way with Velcro Im quite happy with it. I got it for the price of a cheap Amazon board, so even if i didn't use the clips it was worth it.
Excellent point. I was thinking that the brackets limited how close together you could pinch a given pair of pedals, but then so do the audio connectors, unless the jacks are oriented to the top of the pedals. But then, when that's the case, you could put a felt strip or some such between the two pedals to prevent rubbing/scratching and pinch TWO pedals between one set of brackets. Using a mix of brackets and velcro makes a lot of sense if like me, you have some core pedals that never leave the board and others that are swapped in and out at intervals, for different situations.
Nice video. Glad to see ACLAM get some youtube love. Owning my SMART TRACK S2 for a few years now, I wished I'd gotten the "FREE ROUTING" design so that at least cables could be routed under the board in places. Top rout only is limiting but considering the fact that it doesn't damage pedals & keeps them 100% cleaner than Velcro, I've never even considered going back to Velcro systems. For me, this works. I just wish there were "dime" sized holes drilled across each row that cables now just lay in. I think 3 or 4 in each row would do, so that cables could be routed that way, giving even more flexibility without adversely effecting the design/function of the original board. This is critical for power supply cables. I'm considering doing this to mine.
Very thorough video on the Aclam pedalboard! I would like to have seen you put the completed board with all the attached pedals placed inside the bag. Thanks for sharing!
My only issue with this system is the spacing. The brackets are a little bulky and take up too much space on the board IMO. I think it’s a good idea. The brackets just need some tweaking, again IMO
I thought that may be an issue as well but there seems to be plenty of space on the board. Also I think the bigger brackets will be much more durable in the long run! Cheers!
I don't mind it because I don't want my pedals too close, so I can unplug them if necessary. But they should come out with a type of fastener that can hold a pedal on each side of it, so for example you would only need 6 fasteners for 2 pedals, rather than 8 of them (because there would only be 2 in between them).
Hiya. Around three weeks ago I commented on your live Sunday show that I put together my first pedal board successfully. A viewer and then you asked what pedals I used and later I said I used a board which had adjustable 'brackets' and didn't need velcro or ties. I said it was made by Guitto. If I put a thought in your head about checking out these pedal boards... I hope anyone who sees this video and buys one will be happy because I think they're way better than velcro
@@addictedtogear There are fast-followers companies everywhere. We patented this system some years ago. Hopefully we're already working on new things to make this pedalboard even better!
@@walterrizotto8668 Hi! We recommend using the Fasteners 360. Some users have reported to hold them right with these fasteners. Even though we have some videos showing how to attach different effects, sometimes this bigger pedals should be holded with more than 4 fasteners. ruclips.net/p/PLOAHqmosS-GxDCJtTdxLV8hgQEZSao3Xo Thanks!
If you already had velcro on pedals which had been on your previous board, did you remove the velcro before mounting on the aclam board, or leave the velcro on? If you removed the velcro, how did you do it without damaging the bottom of the pedals?
Thank you very much for your video and dedication Tony! In this video you're showing every detail, awesome! We hope you enjoy it from now on & you can take care of your pedals! :) Cheers!
You should check out the Holeyboard Pedalboard. It is simpler and uses zip ties to attach the pedals. It is also quite a bit less expensive than the Acclam board and fixtures.
Thank you for another great video. I’m not a fan of velcro and this seems like a great alternative. I am curious if it will replace your other pedalboard that you have been using. Thanks!
I love the fact that you also review many EU based manufacturer's products, great prices across the pond, but we lose ALL of the price gains & more in Customs/duty fees.... Thing is though that some EU manufacturers ALSO kill us price wise (i wont mention names, just think tremolo lol). I just had a look on the site and the prices aren't that bad actually & the board's modularity along with the availability of spare parts if needed, makes this an interesting item, BUT (yes, there is always a BUT), its a bit tough to 'hide' a power supply if your are using a one level board as opposed to a two tier like the one in the vid, even if you add leg extensions the extended legs in my humble opinion take an undue amount of stress and are not solid enough. As i said, thats only my opinion.... But as a two tier PB, i like it quite a bit.
Too much wasted space between the pedals due to the mounting brackets, no thank you, I'll stick with my tried and trusted Velcro. I never had to replace the Velcro on my pedals, nor did I ever felt the need to remove it. I'd love to see how you attached a Fuzz Face to this board too
It would be nice if they can figure out how to make them smaller. On the other hand you still need to leave space between pedals for the cables to fit in so there is that....
Nahhhh this is not it. All my pedals are side by side with flathead cables connecting them. This takes too much space. Youll end up with a wide pedalboard and when your on stage, no one will like you taking up too much space. Lol.

The standard documentation - that we won’t read 😂😂😂. Great review - looks like a well thought out piece of kit.

Hey, great review! Thanks for sharing
Please, what is the name/model/brand of the power supply support?

Great review. Greetings from Mexico. I’m thinking about buying the pieces to build my own
I can't believe no one else thought of velcro-free pedal boards. Seriously! 😂

Hi its funny how some things work out! I don't know the Guitto brand but maybe I should check them out as well. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@addictedtogear There are fast-followers companies everywhere. We patented this system some years ago. Hopefully we're already working on new things to make this pedalboard even better!
@@aclamguitars Hello, have you come up with something for Wah and volume/expression pedals? Like an add-on section?

There are a few different models on the site. Which model is this?
Is there only one Aclam pedalboard?
the upper SE comes with the package? I want to be able to get exactly what you have there. Thank you.
yes it does
If you already had velcro on pedals which had been on your previous board, did you remove the velcro before mounting on the aclam board, or leave the velcro on? If you removed the velcro, how did you do it without damaging the bottom of the pedals?
im trying to find the model number for this pedal board in your video can you give me that information?
Thank you very much for your video and dedication Tony! In this video you're showing every detail, awesome! We hope you enjoy it from now on & you can take care of your pedals! :) Cheers!
Hi you really have a great product. One of the best I’ve tried so far! Keep up the great work.
What model is this ??
Can't you just use 1 pair of lock with mini pedal?
What’s the name of the actual model in the video? Can’t seem to find it in their online store.
Thanks

I have. Check out my review on it.
Another brilliant review !
Glad you enjoyed it
Interesting Pedal board concept.
Thank you for another great video. I’m not a fan of velcro and this seems like a great alternative. I am curious if it will replace your other pedalboard that you have been using. Thanks!
Yes I will be using this one for sure. I may keep the other one for different pedals...
Thanks! Can you tell me where you got the pictures behind you on the wall?
I bought them online but I can't rememner where...Sorry
Love your videos, thanks man!
Thanks for watching Shawn!
Crazy that pedal designers never thought about the player mounting them on a board.
They are designed to sit on the floor. Why? it's the 2020's.
hello, can you tell me what is this model at aclam
thank you
greetings
Hi its the larger of the pedalboards listed on the website.
Nice Honker Overdrive! You from the Maritimes?
No I am not.
I love the fact that you also review many EU based manufacturer's products, great prices across the pond, but we lose ALL of the price gains & more in Customs/duty fees.... Thing is though that some EU manufacturers ALSO kill us price wise (i wont mention names, just think tremolo lol).

As i said, thats only my opinion....
But as a two tier PB, i like it quite a bit.
The good news is the board is wide enough to accommodate the power supply right on the board if you are only using one level. Thanks for the comment!
@@addictedtogear Yes, you're absolutely right! There's space for the power supply even if the pedalboard doesn't use the upper elevator.
@@addictedtogear So true T, food for thought.... because i like the majority of what this board offers. Thnx again for the indepth review.
Which kit is this? I don't see any dual-tier kits on their site.
They can all be set up flat or like this.
Quel est le no du modele testé
Nice !
Too much wasted space between the pedals due to the mounting brackets, no thank you, I'll stick with my tried and trusted Velcro. I never had to replace the Velcro on my pedals, nor did I ever felt the need to remove it.
I'd love to see how you attached a Fuzz Face to this board too
Good gosh! That looks fiddly as hell.
Fiddly!?
What size board?
They have a few different sizes.
@@addictedtogear what size is THIS board in the video?
Interesting !!!
Se comprate la joyo guitto pedalboard è lo stesso sistema e si spende molto meno 😊😊
Velcro sucks! Thanks!
Not a fan of Velcro but those clamps take up too much valuable pedal space.
It would be nice if they can figure out how to make them smaller. On the other hand you still need to leave space between pedals for the cables to fit in so there is that....
So, velcro is better.
Nahhhh this is not it. All my pedals are side by side with flathead cables connecting them. This takes too much space. Youll end up with a wide pedalboard and when your on stage, no one will like you taking up too much space. Lol.
What flathead cables do you use?
@@addictedtogear rock stock flat cables. My pedals are side by side really close.
