well almost , it's suppose to be here tomorrow.
I order the Temple Audio TRIO 28 . I'm tired of dragging around a board thats heavy as hell. This one weighs in at just over 4LBS so it should be a big improvement weight wise.
I'm also intrigued with the way the pedals mount to the board. No MORE VELCRO.
I like that temple audio has a modeler set up on their sight where you can go and pick a board then see how your paticular pedals will fit on the board. It takes all the guess work out of it.
Any way here is the link to the sweetwater site and below is a pic of how my setup will look on the board

Nice! Very streamlined setup you got there. So are you running that into your Marshall or the AC1?

AC1 or theDiezel VH2 which ever Im playing
 
I’ve been down the temple board road myself. At first I used the Temple board mounts they have but find them to be a real pain in the ass and getting off the board mounts off ur gear is a humongous chore. I ended up using good old dual lock. Works just fine on these boards.

That's interesting. The whole point of the Temple boards is their mounts. I was considering switching to these for that reason.

Then again, sounds like the mounts might work a little too well.
 
Congrats, looks good, it’s a good board. I have 2, the Duo24 and the Duo36.
I used tie wraps and they work great, fit through the holes in the pedalboard perfectly. They’re cheap (bulk bag at Home Depot) and easy to cut to length.

I ordered enough mounts for what I have.I will only take the fractal off to use in my bedroom in between gigs. Its carpet so it should be ok.
If the mounts are a pain I will probably do what you did.
Thanks for the heads up :rock:
 
The other reason I should’ve mentioned I found the mounts to be a pita is under the board. The screws under the board get in the way of the placement of say, your power supply etc. They take up real estate under the board leaving u little room to to apply other shit.. Maybe that’s just my experience but it’s what I dealt with. Perhaps you won’t run into this. Still a good board tho broski
 
I got the board in last night and all I can say is WHAT A GIANT PAIN IN THE ASS.
It will only work like it does in the video below ( the way its designed to work) is if the bottom of your pedal is completely flat .If there is a foot or in my case a screw head where the foot used to be its not gonna work. This screw head keeps the bottom of the pedal off the adhesive. So just pick it up stick it to the pedal and then screw it in right ? WRONG ,If you need more than one like on a wah you have to make sure both screw holes are going to line up, you don't want one hitting the grid to where you can't get the screw in.so you have to measure it out to make it fit
Then there is trying to mount the fractal. Its more of the same with having to measure it out but then while I have one side holding it while I try and align the other side the adhesive lets go rendering the mounting system useless. So I ended up tie wrapping the fractal to the board for now till I get time to get some more industrial strength velcro. And to think what a PITA it was to get the old velcro off the fractal when all i had to do was add one side to the new board.
I feel like the whole idea behind this system was pretty good but somewhere between the Idea and the implementation something got lost.
I would recommend the board itself, when I was done it was very neat (except for the tie wraps holding the fractal) I would however suggest not using the mounting system unless you have a bunch of small flat bottom pedals
