"First I'm going to discuss a pedal board, which allows you to run many pedals all at the same time and also the flexibility to be able to pick up in this case seven pedals. Just put it in a bag that it comes with, pick it up and you're good to go. Otherwise you'd have to unplug all the pedals after every show, put each individual pedal into a box and it would take a significantly larger amount of time. One of the best features about this is that it allows a power supply to each one of the pedals, so that you don't have to buy nine volt batteries for each one. Not only that, but it keeps the electrical flow to each pedal constant. Batteries, if you have a fully charged battery will work great, but if it's a half charged battery you're not going to get as much strength and if you're running seven pedals at half battery strength the output signal is going to be pretty low. So, this allows you to plug AC adapters into each one. Plug them into the board and then you get a constant flow of maximum electricity. You could also plug extra things into these three prong outlets. Say, your power string becomes full, you can also use these as backup. And everything up here is basically in relation to the flow from your guitar into the pedals, into the board, and out of the board into your amplifier."
