Pedal Riser
Lift a single effects pedal, or your entire back row.
We spent about a year (yes, a year!) working out the best way to solve the common problem of raising your back row of pedals. It's been the subject of many email conversations with customers and after a multitude of design revisions (some more elaborate than others) the simplest design came out on top.
The Diago Pedal Riser is made from 2mm formed steel with a black powdercoat, wrapped in the very same pedal carpet that appears on our pedalboards. They're super grippy (we picked up a loaded Showman board with just one) and they effectively stop you from kicking the knobs on your front row of pedals.

Ultra portable pedalboard
( 49 x 26 x 8Cm)
Diago Commuter - for the guitarist on the move.
There are times when a hardcase pedalboard just isn't practical. You might be travelling on foot, or on the underground/metro, swinging by for a quick practice after work, or playing an acoustic set where you just need a few pedals. The Diago Commuter is an ultra-portable and lightweight alternative to our hardcase pedalboards.
Stomp with confidence.
The Commuter features a 12mm thick HDF board, with a tough, satin black coating for years of use on the road. We added 6 rubber pads, for high rigidity and to distribute weight evenly for a sturdy, solid feel. Nobody wants their board to bend when they step on a pedal.
Can you handle it?
There's a built-in handle, machined right into the HDF board, for pulling the board out the case and carrying it about on stage. But if you don't need the handle, just stick your pedals over it - the Velcro goes right to the edge.

Just the right size.
The Commuter is both compact and portable, but is still a very useful size. It will hold up to 10 Boss-sized effects pedals, plus a Diago Powerstation or Micropower9 power supply. Crybaby-style wah pedals fit perfectly and you can check the Large Pedal/Multi-FX Compatibility tab to see if your other larger pedals will fit inside.
We also added a deep pocket with zip closure on the front of the case, for your cables and other loose accessories, phone, or even a netbook computer.

Secure Hook & Loop pedal fixing system.
The Commuter features the very same super-grippy pedal carpet we use on our hardcase pedalboards. Unlike some poor-quality carpet, ours does not deteriorate or become fluffy with repeated removal of pedals - it'll remain grippy for the lifetime of the board.
Each Commuter comes with 2m/6"6' of our self-adhesive pedal tape.
Don't underestimate the strength of Velcro.
When the self-adhesive hook tape is applied properly, your pedals will not come loose.

Protect your pedals, wherever your music takes you.
The Commuter's rugged carry case features a dense EPE foam shell and a hard-wearing 600 denier fabric covering for both impact and scratch resistance.
Roadworthy Hardware.
Heavy duty zips and robust ABS clips keep your gear safe and secure. The gigbag also features a carry handle and padded shoulder strap, both made from chunky nylon webbing. There's a reason this is used on mountaineering rucksacks - it's simply best material for the job.

Diago Hardcase Pedalboards - Gigman, Showman & Tourman.
Diago Pedalboards combine a lightweight and roadworthy pedal board and hard case, making them ideal for transporting your gear between home, gigs and practices. It makes set-up and take-down quick and easy, and is great for storing your pedals at home, so that they can be neatly hidden away from your wife/mum/significant other.
Protection
Nothing comes close to the protection a true hardcase offers. 1/2" eastern plywood and dense foam padding inside the lid keep your pedals protected from the rigors of the road - impact, scratching, dirt & moisture.

Quality
We wrap our 1/2" thick eastern plywood pedalboards in an attractive and super-durable polyweave skin, to keep the board looking great for a lifetime. We fit our boards with robust catches, high-quality hinges and steel corner strengtheners, and use a through-bolted amp-style handle for a really solid feel. Each board is assembled by hand in our factory and undergoes strict quality control for consistently fantastic pedalboards.

Design
The key to great design, is simplicity. Some boards come with bells and whistles such as a power splitter box (not even a power supply because you still need a wallwart - it's just a glorified daisy chain), an effects loop, or even a built in speaker. Why anyone would need any of these things built in is completely beyond us, so Diago Pedalboards do exactly what a good pedalboard should. Nothing more, nothing less.

Flexibility
Put whatever you like, wherever you like. All of our pedalboards are ideal for holding compact stomp effects, multi-effects, power supplies, wahs, volume pedals, channel switches, A/B boxes, and even DJ gear and synthesizers. In fact any combination of these, just so long as it all fits. See our Pedalboard Sizing Guide in the next tab for more information and check out the User Gallery below for some inspiration.

Diago Plug Adaptors
Power virtually any pedalboard, no matter how weird or wonderful.
What do they do?
Our plug adaptors change the shape and polarity (location of positive/negative) of one output on your Powerstation or Micropower9. This allows you to power a vast number of unusual pedals from the same power supply as your regular pedals. A common example of this is the ProCo Rat, which requires a 3.5mm mini-jack (Diago Blue Adaptor) to power it.

Isolator Adaptor
The Diago Isolator prevents noise generated by a digital pedal from making its way into your signal.
You might come across a pedal that sounds perfect when powered on its own power supply, or with a battery, but is extremely noisy when powered alongside other pedals. This is a fairly common problem amongst modern digital pedals and sounds terrible, so we designed the Diago Isolator to solve this.
The geeky bit:
Many digital pedals have separate power and signal grounds in order to prevent noise from the digital micro-controller entering your signal path. In most analogue pedals, however, the power and signal grounds are shared. When a digital pedal and an analogue pedal are fed from the same power supply, noise generated by the digital pedal is transferred to the signal through the common ground in the analogue pedal.
This isn't a particularly complex problem and is easily fixable by the manufacturers of digital pedals. In fact we don't really know why they haven't tackled it more urgently. Until they do though, a Diago Isolator will keep your signal clear from the noise of those pesky digital boxes.

18V Adaptor
The Diago 18V Adaptor allows you to power 18V pedals from your Diago Powerstation or Micropower9.
Our 18V Adaptor doubles the 9V DC input to 18V DC on the output. Some power supply designs offer 18V by connecting two 9V outputs together using a special cable, but for this you need a power supply with isolated outputs. Since isolation is only needed occasionally (and when you do, you can use one of our Isolators), this is money wasted for most people. Furthermore, it uses two of your limited number of outputs.
Instead, we've made this specially designed 18V adaptor, that uses just one output, and will reliably power any 18V pedal with a current draw of up to 30mA.

Deluxe Daisy Chain - PS02
Power an additional 6 pedals with your Powerstation or Micropower9.
A daisy chain allows multiple effects pedals to be powered from the same 9V power supply. Each Diago Powerstation comes with one Deluxe Daisy Chain to power 6 effects pedals, but with a capacity of 3000mA it will power many more than that - we reckon up to about 30.
Use as many Deluxe Daisy Chains as you need to power your whole pedalboard. You can also use a Deluxe Daisy Chain with the 1000mA Micropower9 to power a smaller pedalboard.
Unlike most daisy chains, the Diago Deluxe Daisy Chain is rated up to the full 3000mA of the Powerstation - most cheaper designs would melt at that sort of current.
The Deluxe Daisy Chain has 30cm/12" of cable between each plug. If you need more than that, use a Black Adaptor (see below) as an extension. It also has extra-long (12mm) plugs to easily reach inside recessed power sockets.
