Yeah, the Donner is quite decent and does the job, the shorty cables that come with it are total crap but the pedalboard is solid and well worth buying. The Pedaltrain Classic Jr and Classic2 are just a bit smaller and larger than the Donner DB3 and cost $139 and a $149 respectively so the Donner is quite a bargain even at $80. I bought mine on sale a few few years ago and it was only $50 or so bucks and currently Cyber Monday deal is $63 which is quite good. I found the space underneath to be a bit short for my Voodoo Lab Power 2+ and a large A/C power supply so for now I just top mounted it. In the future if I need more space I think I can jack up the front of the pedalboard with a strip of wood or maybe longer screws and washers on the rubber feet to get some more clearance. I did the pedals on the floor and all 9v batteries thing for many decades until getting the Donner a few years ago. Quite happy with the purchase and now I only have one pedal that I need to change batteries on because it uses a pair of AAA batteries (3v) and is a positive ground fuzz so external powering is an issue. Welcome to the land of the pedal board, I'd say if you use more than a couple of pedals it's a big improvement over having then loose on the floor and not worrying about batteries (well except for my one oddball pedal) is very cool as well !!!
HEY ! Does the power supply holds up tight just with the strips? im planning to buy the donner db3 but I have to transport to play some shows, so I wonder If thats enough. Thanks!
Hey thanks for asking. I just use these two velcro strips because I’m planning to upgrade the power supply, but it’s strong enough to hold it. I haven’t had any trouble so far. But If you really want to put the power supply firmly, then I might want to use something like double sided tape.
Just purchased one of the thanks for the great video . Just working out now how to sequence the various pedals
