How we ranked these pedalboards

Every pick has at least 100 customer ratings on Amazon and a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

Buying advice: analog pedal board

Count your pedals first

The Ghost Fire board holds 4 pedals, the STRICH board fits up to 5 standard pedals, and the GOKKO board holds 4 to 5 pedals. Match the board to the pedals you own today, and leave one open spot if you plan to add a pedal later. A board that fits your current pedals keeps cables short and pedals within reach of your foot.

Check mounting and power supply space

Hook-and-loop tape holds pedals on the Donner, STRICH and GOKKO boards, and the Ghost Fire board comes with loop tape pre-fixed. The Donner board gives power supply mounting space, and the STRICH frame leaves room under the board for power supplies of different sizes. Measure your power supply before buying, since a supply that does not fit under the board must sit on top of it.

True bypass keeps the signal untouched

True bypass means the pedal passes the signal untouched when off. The AZOR AP-306 uses true bypass switching, so your guitar signal passes through unchanged when the delay is off. The AP-306 gives up to 600ms of delay time, set with Time and Repeat knobs.
