D'Addario XPND Pedal Board Mic Stand - Guitar Pedalboard Accessories - Works With XPND 2 and Most 2 Row, Rail Style Pedalboards

This is a delightfully helpful device that saves space on crowded stages. I bought it on a whim because I'm trying to maximize real estate on stage, and I'm happy to report it works really well. When properly attached to a pedal board, it stays intact and easily supports a microphone, plus a tablet that you can clip to the stand with a holder you purchase separately. The only thing to be aware of is that attaching this will really change the center of gravity of your pedalboard, so if you pick up the board and move it with the stand attached, watch out! Especially if there's a mic in the holder. Take off this stand before moving your board. Other than that, it's a great device, and I'm really glad I bought it.

As the title says, I am in love with this mic stand! It really simplifies my setup and cuts down on the space I need on cramped stages. Just put my pedalboard where I want it, attach the stand and I’m good to go. The connections are all very sturdy and solid. I could imagine that the overall stability might be somewhat dependent on the weight of your pedalboard, but it’s rock solid for me. Extremely well thought out and executed design.

For now, I’m giving this one star. The item arrived in time for an upcoming gig. But there assembly instructions. There are two small parts with it that have no instructions on where they go. Nothing available on you tube or the D’Addario website. So I assembled the thing in the most logical way and it doesn’t work. One of the clamps doesn’t work so the mic stand cannot be raised to the height I need. I’ve called Amazon support (they can’t help me) and I’ve left a message for D’Addario support. They’ll got back to me, oh..whenever their schedule allows this week, but certainly not in time for my gig. For an $80.00 product, I shouldn’t have to deal with this nonsense. I need a working product or some assembly instructions.

I now own three of these for my different pedal boards. They are a lifesaver. I can feel confident that the mic stand is not going to fall over with my iPad holder attached to it. These are such a contrast to bulky space hogging one stands that require you to carry a bulky awkward case for them. I wish they would somehow expand this concept of a non-screw on base to one that did not have to attach to a pedal board, but I guess that would be impossible

I use this on my smaller, stripped down acoustic shows. It attaches to the pedal board via some Allen head screws. They stay tight. I haven’t had to retighten in around a year of using it. Though I do check from time to time. I didn’t use any locktite when I installed the bracket. The stand itself pops in and out of the pedal board bracket and you flip a lever which locks it into place. The adjustment points on the mic stand are compact and easily operated to get the boom in the proper position. Like the base bracket attachment, the adjustment points are plastic levers (with no play in them) that you flip to unlock and adjust, then flip back to snug it into place. The accompanying mic stand tray is well thought out with detachable hooks of different sizes. They slot into place with snug slots on the underside and lip of the tray. I use a hook to hang my harmonica device on. I can easily grab it between songs and throw it on. I keep my capo and whatever else I would need for the gig on the tray. It has a slip proof surface. There’s also a cup holder that slots into the side of the tray and it will hold a slim water bottle, beverage can or solo cup. It’s not big enough for a small yeti cup, however. FYI. This is definitely worth the money.

Wish it was more collapsable. The base fits well on my pedalboard and I like the functionality, but the stand itself is not any easier to pack and transport than a standard mic stand. I have the D'Addario Backline gig bag and I was hoping that I would be able to transport this mic stand using the gig bag with all of my other gear, especially since it's the same manufacturer. But the mic stand doesn't telescope small enough. It basically telescopes only at one point and the shortest it is for transport is nearly 3 feet, making it impossible to connect to my gig bag. D'Addario really missed an opportunity here.

I have a broken on-stage stand that slides under your pedal board that I've used for a while but they repeatedly break and I got tired of JB welding that so I am trying this thing and so far, it's worked really well. It's plastic but unless someone falls into the mic stand, it should hold up just fine and if it does get broken, it seems like it would be easy to glue back together if needed. It's that strong plastic, not some cheap thin stuff. I managed to squeeze the base in between some XLR cables on my Pedaltrain board.

I've been waiting for a product like this for a long time! Set up / tear down is easier. Moving the whole rig is easier. Footprint is way smaller. Everything is better! All of the plastic bits seem pretty durable so far. It looks like if any of them do break it should be simple enough to get a replacement for that part.

I wish I had gotten a pedalboard mounted mic stand years ago. This one is super easy to use. Everything seems relatively well made and should last just as long or longer than any other mic stand that gets used for 100 gigs a year. The plastic bits will likely eventually fail and I very much doubt D'addario offers those vital replacement pieces individually. But, it's road tough and robust and should last a long time if used normally and not abused too much. I love it because it eliminates that extra 15 or so inches of a mic stand in front of my pedalboard. That is a consideration on smaller or shallower stages. It also means no one is going to kick or step on the legs of the stand base and drive the mic into my teeth or knock it over spilling my beer and denting my mic grill. It's smaller and lighter than a regular mic stand so that is always a big plus in my book. It sets up fast and easy with minimal fuss. The clamps are nice and easy to use making adjustments fast and precise. It's more than robust enough to support all the modern stand mount accessories as well. D'addario sells those too. I have a boingy boingy drink holder and a gator tray that I put on the stand and it's totally solid with a full pint glass and a tray full of junk and a second drink in the tray cup holder. My pedal board is the big Pedaltrain 32x16 so there is substantial weight there. I am a totally satisfied customer so far. If you have a bigger pedalboard, and you gig a lot, just get this pedalboard mounted mic stand. You'll never regret it.

Works as it should, but has a bit more flex in the stand itself than I would like. It would be nice if it was sturdier.

This stand is excellent. I gig with it all the time. It sits so sturdy on my pedalboard and can’t be knocked over. Great purchase.

Had a chance to test drive this at a gig recently and it works like a charm. Great idea. Seems solidly built and feels like it should last.
