One answer is all I need...

Quick question: Are compact stompbox Boss pedals roughly the same size/shape as compact stompbox EBS pedals? I'm eyeing it online and they seem to be.

I was just wondering because I was looking at those Boss pedalboards and thought I could fit EBS pedals in there (there seems to be cut-outs in the pedalboard made for Boss pedal shapes).



Thanks for your help.

They're roughly the same size, sure, the Boss pedals are taller, of course, but I can't guarantee the EBS pedals will fit on a Boss pedalboard.

I'd highly recommend investing the money for something like a pedaltrain though, because there may come a time when you want to use something that's not boss shaped (trust me).

Yeah, buying the board with Boss-shaped cutouts is a doomed proposition.

Well there was a used Boss board here for like $30, but you're right. It's only $30 that I'd be spending, but that's still money. Thanks...

Well having said that, they aren't the exact same size, im sure.

Anal would come in when you have a board with little spaces that just don't quite match what your doing.

Just get a nice pedal train or something and set it up neatly.

ebs = a tad slimmer and longer from memory and also ,as mentioned, 'less tall'

The EBS pedals are a bit smaller. They are around 7cm wide, 11cm long, and 3cm tall.

I would definately go with a non-boss board. Pedaltrain and T-rex boards are nice, or you can make one yourself quite cheaply if you have some basic tools.

Thanks for the help and the opinions gentlemen. I'm looking at the pedaltrain boards...

Hehe, for my board im gonna use a 1/2" piece of plywood with velcro stuck/stapled to it. Not sure what to do for handles tho, as im gonna use a board case that I ****ed up the foam in to store it.
