jacks, connected in two mono loops. This allows
a single guitar or instrument input to feed multiple
mono and stereo effects boxes, send and return
from remote effects, and feed up to two amplifiers
simultaneously. From modest to highly complex
patching demands, the SPB-8 allows nearly unlimited
setup flexibility.
Powering your pedals, amps and other gear, the
SPB-8/E offers two levels of surge and short circuit
protection, as well as RF and EMI filtering. The
SPB-8/E is quiet, powering both AC and DC pedals
without hum, due to the high quality toroidal trans-
former employed. Each DC output is rated at 100 mA,
as well as being individually protected against shorts
— guaranteeing that if one pedal goes out, the rest
are still protected and will continue to function.
The SPB-8/E makes pack-up simple and conve-
nient. Unpatching several effects boxes and pedals
is no longer required, since the large Velcro sheet
and included mating strips firmly secures all of your
pedals in place. A sturdy, padded case is included
and comes with a handle, a detachable shoulder
strap, and two zippered pouches for storing cables,
wall warts, and AC cords.
Using the SPB-8/E
When fully set up, the SPB-8/E will save you
many hours of plugging, unplugging, packing, and
unpacking pedals and effects. However, to fully
realize the simplification it offers, you must do some
planning and preparation.
1. Prepare Pedals:
Most pedal effects have
rubber feet on their bottoms. These must first be
removed to allow them to be attached to the SPB-
8/E. Some may be attached with screws; others may
be stick-on types that must be pried off. Once the
rubber feet are off, they should be replaced with the
adhesive-backed Velcro supplied with the SPB-8/E.
Cut suitably-sized pieces with a pair of scissors, peel
off the protective backing to expose the adhesive,
and stick them to the bottoms of your pedal effects.
If you wish to reposition your pedals, several smaller
pieces of Velcro may allow easier removal than one
large piece, though the larger the area you cover, the
more firmly the pedal will be attached.
2. Create a layout:
Lay out your pedal effects
in the desired order, giving thought to such issues

Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Furman
SPB-8/E — the first Pedal Board designed with the
professional guitar and bass player in mind. The
SPB-8/E is the most rugged, versatile, and useful
board available anywhere. It features heavy duty
construction that will handle the most forceful stomps
you can offer, as well as stand up to the rigors of the
road. The first stereo board on the market, it is also
the first to feature the high level of power conditioning
that Furman is famous for.
At the heart of the SPB-8/E Stereo Pedal Board
is a light yet rugged polycarbonate platform in
combination with a steel chassis and an ample 12"
x 24" Velcro sheet, ensuring secure, noiseless, flex
free, nonslip performance for up to eight (or more,
depending on power requirements) effects boxes
and pedals.
The SPB-8/E’s stereo patch bay contains seven
1/4" switching phone jacks and three non-switching
