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.

Match the board to your pedal count

Pedal count decides which board fits your rig. The Ghost Fire holds 3-4 pedals, the STRICH holds up to 5 standard pedals, and the GOKKO boards and the AYCRIT hold 4-5 pedals. Count the pedals you use now, then pick a board with room for that many.

Check weight and material before buying

Weight and material decide how a board travels and holds up. The Ghost Fire weighs 1.1 lb in aluminum alloy, the STRICH weighs 2 lb in an aluminum frame, and the GOKKO steel board weighs 1.2 lb in solid steel. Pick the material and weight that fit how you carry your kit.

Check what comes in the box

Box contents differ across this list. The Ghost Fire, the STRICH and the GOKKO steel board come with a carry bag or carrying case. The GOKKO aluminum board comes with mounting tapes, and the AYCRIT comes with mounting tape, 2 DC cables and cable ties. Check the box list before buying, so the accessories match what you need.
