I currently have a pedalboard, but velcro has been the bane of my existance. No matter what I do, the velcro sticks to itself, but not to the pedals. So every time I go to move a pedal, the velcro comes of. I even tried superglue!
So I’m considering a pedalboard that doesn’t use velcro. I’m looking at the Temple Audio boards (probably the Duo 17). Trying to decide if I really want to spend that much on a board.
I’m wondering which add-on modules are needed or recommended. That’s the one part I find confusing, as there are a lot of modules, and it’s not clear to me what they all do, or which I need.
I am planning to get a power supply, probably a Voodoo Lab x8. Also the carry bag and needed mounting plates.
Beyond the power supply, are there any modules you’d recommend? Just trying to figure out what the total cost will be before I pull the trigger.

I’ve got one of these. I wasn’t going to do velcro and looking in to the temple boards, it looks like you till have to use sticky plates to secure them to the board which wasn’t much better than velcro imo. Other than the little plugs taking up some space (which tbf, isn’t much more than you’d need for patch and power cables for pedals where they’re on the side), I love this thing and I’m glad I went this route.

Excuse the mess, it’s still a work in progress and I wasn’t ready to post it all over the interwebz. The multi effect is about 11.5" across for reference.

I have a temple board, I talked about it a couple times somewhere around here. but short version do I like it? yes. would I recommend it? …maybe? it’s expensive, a gigantic pain in the ass to assemble some things, and the Velcro saving system is kinda pointless (you still attach adhesive to your pedals and the mounting screws tend to loosen over time requiring retightening). but it looks cool and the optional modules might be handy for you (none are required). the modules pretty much do what they say on the tin, there are things like USB or input jacks so you can run pedals into the side of the board rather than directly to your pedals), power chord inputs, etc.

I bought one like @faydout because I wanted to avoid velcro as well. I’m happy with it, but only have a few pedals and have nothing else to compare it to…
