Yeah, the patchbay modules they offer are (1) super pricey for what they offer and (2) not nearly as flexible as what I want. For example, all the XLR boxes are 1/4" to XLR. But I need XLR to XLR.
Rockboard is far heavier though. I looked at the closest models to my Temple Trio 21, the Cinque 5.2 (slightly wider) and Quad 4.2 (less tall and slightly wider) and they are ~2.3 and ~0.5 kg heavier than the Trio 21. And I don't consider my fully populated Trio 21 to be particularly light in the first place. The Cinque is similar price and the Quad a good chunk less expensive with the respective gigbags.
Rockboard is far heavier because it’s built better. Temple boards are flexy turds, IMO. Even my small one bends.
With pedals on, mine is very solid and it doesn't have any center supports like some of the even larger ones do.
Yeah I definitely would go no larger than my Trio 21 on a single board. The Trio 43 is like more than twice the size of mine, I don't know how you can even move that or fit it anywhere for transport. Needs its own van or something.
DON'T BELIEVE THE NAYSAYERS THE COMPLAINERS ARE JUST A VOCAL MINORITY MOST PEOPLE ARE HAPPY (he said to himself when ordering an Atomic A3 that then arrived with a broken button and silence from the customer support line until I sent an email threatening to make a thread on TGP, before I even had a TGP account).
Really? Because even this 17DUO has a little flex in the middle that I'd find acceptable if not perfect for around-the-house use but wouldn't dig for stage/rehearsal/gigging use...and is enough that even if Temple System worked for me I wouldn't want to consider a wider duo or trio for home floor use, much less stage use.
I didn't have much flex up to the duo 24. Anything past that yes it wasn't really great
That's odd. I don't have my board here with me so I can't test but never noticed anything. To be fair my board is mostly not used on the floor and I have a pile of stuff (Strymon Conduit, Morningstar ML5, Lehle P-Split, two CIOKS power supplies, CME WIDI Jack, a couple of patchbay modules and a whole pile of patch cables) underneath it that might help stiffen it up a bit.
Has its own hard case, currently taking up waaaaay too much room in my basement. I don't flip gear generally but there are a few exceptions I should make soon, this board being one of them.
I can't slide those in and out of my desk's rack bay.
I know I know. I have considered getting a rack drawer to mount in that bay, but holy moly, if we think pedalboards are overpriced for what they are...Wut? $800 desk can't do that?
There really needs to be a new product class for desktop devices that can double as pedals, not the other way around. Most pedals aren't ergonomically designed for desktop use to be honest. I don't know, maybe build in little kickstands or include risers or something. Also, its 2023. We really should have digital IO on pedals by now.
