Just revived this pedal board today and I love it! And I'm very disappointed at the same time!!! Must complain to Thomann BIG F-n TIME!!!
I bought the HB ISO 2 power supply for it that goes under the pedal board. Problem is the feet are too short so the whole board rests on the power supply/feet not touching the ground!!! W T F !!
They could fix longer legs/feet or provide adjustable feet! How difficult is that!! So p i s s e d o f f I am! Thankfully I had some distance rings and longer screws I kept from my old LG flat TV that fit perfectly but many user out there will not have the ability to DIY this issue !!
All in all, now that it's modded I love the fact my pedals are so compact and organized. Such a joy as much it might feel trivial but it does give me another feel while playing. Well worth the money! Will post pics soon!

Here you can see how much I raised the back side of the pedalboard. This way the HB power supply is not touching the floor. I even raised the front legs by placing a thin washer to get the supply a bit more off the ground. Left the last space in the chain for CKK Tremolo which should arrive tomorrow! Power supply and cables secured and tidied up.

I was going to make a pedal board got as far as cutting wood to size. Then when I priced up the parts for rubber feet,velcro, paint etc. I ended up paying £28 for a Donner DB2 from amazon, its cheap but holds my 5 pedals and power supply and room for a couple more neat and tidy . Same as your HB no room to fit power supply underneath. But its only for home use and can be put in its bag if I wanted to take it anywhere. I think your HB is better in both quality and size.

I think I’ll have a go at knocking together a pedal board myself.

I think I’ll have a go at knocking together a pedal board myself. I made one out of Oak plank and strips ... never enjoyed it really but I used it for a while. This HB one I LOVE strange how aluminum and Velcro can make one happy

That men's shed is a good thing, gets people sharing knowledge and skills. I should really have made one but amazon sent me email saying special deal £5 off the Donner DB2 so £28 delivered! With the padded bag as well I thought it was too good to turn down. I think amazon see what you look at and then entice you with discount. I only looked at the donner for ideas and sizes. To be honest you could make a better one that you can set out to suit your pedals. With the metal ones your are limited to velcro and spacings of the ribs. If you build a timber one you can drill holes and use cable/zip ties to hold the pedals.

Oh no not the holes and zip ties ! The very reason I never really liked my wooden pedal. In case one needs to change the pedal chain ties need be cut and new ties ... you end up not doing it at the end.

Yeah I suppose so, it must take hours to cut a zip tie 🤔 and of course you probably need special tools to cut them. 🔪 ✂ 🗡 😁 Seriously I'm not 100% with the velcro, I have mainly the mini/nano type pedals, and while they are attached ok they are sort of wobbly. I wouldn't be totally confident transporting them. Probably perfectly fine? I think it may not be an issue with larger pedals?

I have another complaint about the HB Spaceship! They could have included the power cables with 90 degrees jacks on both sides as some pedals have power inputs on their sides! The powerplant certainly needs a 90 degrees jack because of little space underneath. I have 3 CKK pedals with power input socket on their sides and these straight jacks take too much damn space !!! I had to use one cable from Mosky as they are all 90 deg. on both sides! Ah, western lifestyle worries!
