DESCRIPTION
The Furman SPB-8 features heavy duty metal construction
that will handle the most forceful stomps you can offer, as well
as stand up to the rigors of the road. The rst stereo board on
the market, it is also the rst to feature the high level of power
conditioning that Furman is famous for.
At the heart of the SPB-8 Stereo Pedal Board is a light yet
rugged polycarbonate platform in combination with a steel
chassis and an ample 12” x 24” Velcro™ sheet, ensuring secure,
noiseless, ex free, non-slip performance for up to eight effects
boxes and pedals.
The SPB-8’s stereo patch bay contains ten 1/4” switching
phone jacks, connected in two stereo loops. This allows a single
guitar or instrument input to feed multiple mono and stereo
effects boxes, send and return from remote effects, and feed up
to two ampliers simultaneously. From modest to highly complex
patching demands, the SPB-8 allows nearly unlimited set-up
exibility.

Powering your pedals, amps and other gear,
the SPB-8 offers two levels of surge and short
circuit protection, as well as RF and EMI ltering.
Furman’s SPB-8 is quiet, powering both AC and DC
pedals without hum, due to the high quality toroidal
transformer employed. Each DC output is rated
at 100 mA, as well as being individually protected
against shorts — guaranteeing that if one pedal
goes out, the rest are protected and continue to
function.
The SPB-8 makes pack-up simple and
convenient. Unpatching several effects boxes and
pedals is no longer required, since the large Velcro
sheet and included mating strips rmly secures
all of your pedals in place. A sturdy, padded case
is included and comes with a shoulder strap and
zippered pouches for storing cables, wall warts, and
AC cords.
