While most pedalboards have either a flat or a slanted surface, the Friedman Tour Pro 1317 13" x 17" pedalboard was designed with two tiers, a bottom section that is flat and a top section that is angled (with all the holes you need for easy cable routing). This two-tier design allows a guitar player to have access to all pedals on the board, without ballerina-style, toe-extending dance moves. To address the need for wah and volume pedals, the Tour Pro includes a detachable riser, which can be mounted in various locations on the bottom tier for right- or left-footed players.
