Gator GPT-PRO-PWR-CE - Pro semi-rigid case with wooden pedalboard and G-BUS-8 power supply for effects pedals
The Gator GPT-PRO-PWR-CE is a professional semi-rigid case that combines a large-format wooden pedalboard with a padded nylon cover and an included G-BUS-8-CE multi-output power supply . Designed for guitarists and bassists who need a robust and organized pedal system, it offers a large surface area for mounting complex pedalboards, centralized power for up to 11 pedals, and reliable protection during transport.
The GPT-PRO-PWR-CE pedalboard is made of plywood and measures approximately 30" x 16.5" (about 762 x 419 mm ). It is covered in black Tolex , and the top surface is entirely covered with loop-type Velcro , allowing for quick and secure pedal attachment. It also comes with adhesive Velcro strips for attaching to the base of each pedal. The board itself has a carrying handle and slides into the padded case to form a compact unit.
The case is made of heavy-duty padded nylon , with a soft interior and a rigid bag-like design. It has approximate external dimensions of 800 x 445 x 152 mm , large enough to hold the wooden pedalboard and additional cables. It features robust zipper closures and external front pockets for storing cables, power supplies, picks, strings, and other common guitar accessories. Reinforced handles allow for comfortable transport.
The GPT-PRO-PWR-CE version comes standard with the Gator G-BUS-8-CE power supply , a multi-output unit in an aluminum housing that offers eight 9V DC outputs and three 18V DC outputs , capable of powering up to 11 standard effects pedals simultaneously. The pedalboard features cable management holes underneath and screw mounting points for attaching the power supply from below, leaving the top clean and tidy. Nine 24" DC power cables are included (eight for the 9V outputs and one for the 18V output), ready for direct connection to your pedals.
Weighing approximately 7.9 kg (pedalboard, case and power supply), the Gator GPT-PRO-PWR-CE offers a complete and professional solution for those looking for a large, powered and protected pedalboard , perfect for live performances, studio work, touring, rehearsal rooms and rental backline.

Product benefits
-
All-in-one solution for your pedalboard: includes pedalboard, semi-rigid case and multi-output power supply, avoiding separate purchases and compatibility problems.
-
Faster assembly and disassembly: with all pedals fixed to the board and the power supply installed under the board, all you have to do is open the case, connect the power supply and instrument cables.
-
Large and tidy pedalboard: the 30" x 16.5" format provides ample surface area for complex setups, keeping pedals aligned and wiring hidden under the board.
-
Centralized and secure power supply: The G-BUS-8-CE offers multiple 9V and 18V outputs to power up to 11 pedals, reducing loose adapters and multiple plugs.
-
Protection during transport: the pedalboard is protected inside the padded nylon case, which helps to absorb shocks and prevents direct rubbing on the pedals.
-
Less noise and loose cables: by being able to pass cables under the table and concentrate the power supply at a single point, cable clutter is reduced and the ergonomics of the set are improved.
-
Ready for tours and gigs: robust materials, proven construction and a design built for heavy use make it a reliable choice for live performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pedals can I power with the included power supply?
The G-BUS-8-CE power supply has 8 x 9V outputs and 3 x 18V outputs , so it can power up to 11 standard pedals , as long as the total consumption does not exceed the maximum available current.
Does the pedalboard come with Velcro to attach the pedals?
Yes. The surface of the pedalboard is covered with Velcro , and adhesive Velcro tape is supplied to attach to the base of each pedal.
Can I install a different power supply?
The board is perforated with mounting holes designed for the Gator G-BUS-8 and similarly sized fonts, so it is possible to adapt other fonts as long as the measurements and mounting pattern match.
Is the suitcase hard or soft?
This is a semi-rigid case : the pedalboard is made of wood and the outer cover is made of padded nylon . It offers more protection than a standard soft case, while weighing less than a traditional hard flight case.
Does the set work for pedals of different formats (mini, standard, large)?
Yes. The Velcro surface accommodates mini, standard, and slightly larger pedal sizes. Just make sure they fit on the 30" x 16.5" surface.
Can I use the G-BUS-8-CE power supply without mounting it under the pedalboard?
Yes. Although it is designed to be screwed under the board, it can also be used externally if preferred, always respecting ventilation and safety.
Compatibility and configuration recommendations
- Plan the distribution of pedals on the 30" x 16.5" surface before permanently fixing them with Velcro.
- Place the highest power consumption pedals (digital delays, reverbs, compact multi-effects) on 9V outputs with sufficient current headroom.
- Reserve the 18V outputs for pedals that require it (boosters, overdrives or preamps compatible with 18V).
- Take advantage of the cable pass-through holes to route the power and some of the signal cabling underneath the pedalboard.
- Always transport the pedalboard and case with the zippers fully closed and the pedals firmly secured with Velcro.
