versatile, good size
I have 3 larger pedals and a 4 smaller ones fit to this board, with room for a couple more tiny ones (like Donner's usual fare). I had been using a small sheet of plywood wrapped with carpet, but managing the cables was becoming increasingly difficult and navigating to the on/off switches with my foot around those cables was getting treacherous. I already had the hook/loop stuff on the underside of my pedals, and since this board delivers with the carpet already on it, switching to this board was a snap. As a board, this looks to be up to the task, but I haven't gigged it yet.The bag that it arrives in is a tight fit (before you add any pedals to it) in terms of length/width. The zipper pair have a means of adding a small luggage padlock, which is nice, and inside the bag is a snap-click board retaining strap to hold things snug during travel. There is a mesh bag area inside the cover (for cables?) and pair of small outer pockets.I paired this board with the Donner power supply that fits into the space facing away from you when using. When combined with this board, managing power, power cables and signal cables is all managed easily. I now have one wall wart plug for suppling power to all of my pedals and one outbound signal to route to the amp. Totally liking this set up.UPDATE: I've had this for long enough to use it quite a bit. I play out around once a week, so the board and bag get some use. So far, the bag has been up to the task, showing no signs of wear. The inner mesh pouches are perfect for holding longer instrument cords, extra patch cables, even a microphone. I can fit an iPad in the outer pouch for when I get called into a gig with little notice. I got the biggest board, and for some smaller stages where it already feels like you're playing in a freight elevator this board at 22" across is too big. Since I bought it, 3 of the 4 rubber feet have fallen off and disappeared. So that sucks. In the end, my needs changed and I don't need to hold as many effects so I'm actually back to my old carpeted plywood, but still using the bag. I encourage you to layout your pedals how you want them, measure the dimensions and order accordingly. I just ordered the biggest cuz I didn't want to run out of space, and then found it's taking up too much.30-June-2025 update: I continue to use this board and continue to play in different spots once a week or more. For a while, I stopped trying to get the board out of the bag for stage use, and that worked okay, but not great. I returned to removing the board and setting onstage... and now discover that the bag is starting to come apart at one of the corners. This is after the bottom-side hand strap separated from the bag. I remedied that with superglue. I expect I will be replacing at least the bag, if not both the bag and board, with something more travel-capable. This is nearing end-of-life and it's been a little over a year. Your mileage may vary, but I suspect it won't by much.

A well-designed pedal board, with an amazing carrying case!
I ordered the Donner DB-S200 pedal board based on my positive experiences with other Donner pedal boards I have ordered in the past and still use. Those boards were a great mix of affordability and quality and so is the DB-S200!First and perhaps foremost, I have to emphasize the amazing quality of the padded carrying bag that comes with the pedal board! It is the best pedal board carrying case that I own by far. Not only is it very well made, but the backpack straps that are stored in a zippered compartment were a wonderful addition to the case. I own over 5 pedal boards, and I can honestly say that if I need to travel somewhere with any of those pedal boards, I will be doing so with the bag that comes with the DB-S200!Another unique and awesome quality of the DB-S200 is the system it uses for power supply attachment. My major critique of my earlier Donner pedal boards was that they did not have a cut-out that was amenable to mounting standard pedal board power supplies to the underside of the board (I have found ways around this critique, but they are not ideal). In contrast, the DB-S200 has a large cut-out that will accomodate any pedal board power supply, and most importantly, a strap to secure the power supply to the board (in combination with velcro attachment to the board itself). I feel confident mounting any of the power supplies I have to the board using this system.The board itself is welded metal and appears to be very sturdy. The sides of the board are made of plastic with handle shaped cutouts for lifting and carrying the board. Although the plastic sides of the board contribute to its lightweight, this is one area for potential improvement I would point out. Though I am not terribly concerned about the sides breaking, I would feel more reassured of their sturdiness if they were made of metal (as the rest of the board).Finally, the board comes with velcro attached to it, which is a really good thing, because the unique cutout between rails of the board for wiring would be very difficult to cover with velcro if I had to do it myself. This was a very nice attention to detail.If I had any other minor gripe, it would be that I would have personally preferred for the board to be a little wider (which could have come at the expense of it being a little less tall/deep). But, this is an idiosyncratic gripe that may not apply to others. Luckily, I've attached pictures, one of which filled with pedals so you can judge for yourself whether the dimensions of the board would work for you!I would recommend this board to anyone looking for a well-designed pedal board, with an amazing carrying case (yes, I love the carrying case :) )!

Great product
Board is actually metal and not plastic like I thought it would be. Comes with everything you need to get started, all you need to buy separately are the pedals and power supply. The soft carrying case is a nice addition.

Really good
Used this to help build my wifes bass rig. All the things it comes with is more than a bargain and there is more than enough to build what you need. 4 out of 5 stars.How to get a 5 star to the manufacturer:1. Make that center opening a little smaller and centered, there needs to be a little more surface area for some smaller pedals to have enough velcro to stick properly.2. Get rid of the pick holder: this is not needed. Ive never reached down during a gig and thought i would need something like this. What you should swap it with is a 3 prong outlet built into the board where a pedal power supply can plug into the back of the plug. Then all someone needs is an extension cord to run power to the board.3. Make the feet of the board more secured. We already lost one foot during practice and now the board rocks slightly.
