As the product designer behind BoardMods, I’m thrilled to share what makes the B1 the first step in an exciting journey—not just for us as a company, but for you as musicians. The BoardMods B1 isn’t just another pedalboard; it’s the cornerstone of a growing ecosystem designed to meet your unique needs and inspire your creativity. Let me walk you through what sets the B1 apart and give you a glimpse of what’s coming next.
What is the BoardMods B1?
The BoardMods B1 represents the beginning of our all-new B-Series, a line of modular and configurable pedalboards built to evolve with you. Designed with input from musicians, it’s a platform that grows alongside your gear and creativity, balancing versatility, durability, and aesthetics. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional, the B1 is built to adapt to your unique style and setup.
Key Features: Designed to Serve Your Needs
1. Modular Design for Limitless Possibilities
We’ve all been there: outgrowing a pedalboard or wishing it could do just a little more. The B1 solves that by letting you expand, reconfigure, or customize as your needs change. It’s not just a pedalboard—it’s an ecosystem designed to evolve.
2. Rugged, Lightweight Construction
Durability and portability were non-negotiables for me. That’s why the B1 is made from powder-coated aluminum: tough enough for touring, light enough for easy transport.
3. Adhesive-Free Pedal Mounting
I know how frustrating messy adhesives can be. That’s why the B1 works with BoardMods Clean Lock Plates, hook-and-loop fasteners, zip ties, and is fully compatible with Temple Audio Quick Release Plates. Mounting pedals securely shouldn’t come at the expense of flexibility or cleanliness.
4. Flush Deck for Maximum Usability
Every inch of the B1 is usable space. The flush deck eliminates awkward gaps and wasted areas, giving you complete freedom to arrange pedals edge-to-edge.
5. Generous Cable Management Options
I wanted cable routing to be intuitive and neat. The B1 provides ample room for managing cables underneath, so your board looks clean and functions perfectly. Plus, every board comes with clip-in cable routing rings to help secure and organize cables without relying on adhesive.
6. Customizable Aesthetics
Why settle for a one-size-fits-all look? The B1 has options for color accents and add-ons, allowing you to reflect your personal style.
7. Sized for Standard Cases
We designed the B1 with practicality in mind, ensuring that common configurations fit comfortably into most existing pedalboard hard and soft cases. This means you can upgrade your board without needing to invest in a new case.
For Musicians Like You
The B1 is designed for anyone who:
- Loves experimenting with pedal combinations
- Wants a compact or expandable setup
- Values durability without sacrificing aesthetics
This isn’t just a pedalboard; it’s a tool for creative exploration, built to grow with your journey.
Why Modular? Why Now?
Traditional pedalboards are static. You outgrow them, or they limit your options. The B1 changes the game by offering:
- Scalability: Expand your setup as your collection grows.
- Customization: Tailor every aspect of your board.
- Longevity: Invest in a system that grows with you.
This modular philosophy is the future of pedalboards, and it’s the spirit behind everything we do, here at BoardMods.
Looking Ahead: The BoardMods Ecosystem
The B1 is just the beginning. Our vision is to build an ecosystem of tools and accessories that enhance your creativity and simplify your setup. From Clean Lock Plates to risers and future expansions, we’re committed to delivering innovative solutions based on your feedback.
How You’ve Shaped the BoardMods B1
Early adopters have already helped shape the B1 with their feedback, and I’m listening. Whether it’s expanding the range of configurations or introducing new accessories, your input is what drives our innovation.
What’s Next?
I’m excited to keep expanding the BoardMods lineup with:
- New modular add-ons
- Enhanced cable management solutions
- More customizable aesthetic options
The possibilities are endless, and they’re all inspired by you.

Creating the B1 has been a labor of love, and I’m so proud to share it with you. Thank you for supporting this vision, for believing in what we’re building, and for being part of a community that values creativity, quality, and innovation. I can’t wait to see how the B1 becomes part of your musical story.
Let’s build something amazing together.
