A well-designed pedal board, with an amazing carrying case!
I ordered the Donner DB-S200 pedal board based on my positive experiences with other Donner pedal boards I have ordered in the past and still use. Those boards were a great mix of affordability and quality and so is the DB-S200! First and perhaps foremost, I have to emphasize the amazing quality of the padded carrying bag that comes with the pedal board! It is the best pedal board carrying case that I own by far. Not only is it very well made, but the backpack straps that are stored in a zippered compartment were a wonderful addition to the case. I own over 5 pedal boards, and I can honestly say that if I need to travel somewhere with any of those pedal boards, I will be doing so with the bag that comes with the DB-S200! Another unique and awesome quality of the DB-S200 is the system it uses for power supply attachment. My major critique of my earlier Donner pedal boards was that they did not have a cut-out that was amenable to mounting standard pedal board power supplies to the underside of the board (I have found ways around this critique, but they are not ideal). In contrast, the DB-S200 has a large cut-out that will accomodate any pedal board power supply, and most importantly, a strap to secure the power supply to the board (in combination with velcro attachment to the board itself). I feel confident mounting any of the power supplies I have to the board using this system. The board itself is welded metal and appears to be very sturdy. The sides of the board are made of plastic with handle shaped cutouts for lifting and carrying the board. Although the plastic sides of the board contribute to its lightweight, this is one area for potential improvement I would point out. Though I am not terribly concerned about the sides breaking, I would feel more reassured of their sturdiness if they were made of metal (as the rest of the board). Finally, the board comes with velcro attached to it, which is a really good thing, because the unique cutout between rails of the board for wiring would be very difficult to cover with velcro if I had to do it myself. This was a very nice attention to detail. If I had any other minor gripe, it would be that I would have personally preferred for the board to be a little wider (which could have come at the expense of it being a little less tall/deep). But, this is an idiosyncratic gripe that may not apply to others. Luckily, I've attached pictures, one of which filled with pedals so you can judge for yourself whether the dimensions of the board would work for you! I would recommend this board to anyone looking for a well-designed pedal board, with an amazing carrying case (yes, I love the carrying case :) )!

Great PTrain Alternative
I read the reviews, read about some of the quality issues both with the board and the case - but I still decided to take a chance. I am glad I did!! I have been using it for nearly 7 months and no issues at all. The bag has held up well. It is a little tight getting the board into the bag but it does fit and holds a fully loaded board. The outer pocket is great for extra cables and such. I ordered and installed a Truetone CS7 under it - it fit great! I had to modify the brackets by straightening out the 90 degree bends but - no issues at all and it is very securely fastened to the board. I purchased some zip ties and mounts to keep the underside neat - definitely recommend this to anyone looking for taming loose cables. I did have a couple of areas around the welds where the grinding was a little aggressive and left a couple of divots but the velcro covered this completely. My only complaint is that the glue on the velcro doesn't hold very well to the pedals - especially the rubber base. I did find that if the area is prepped by cleaning with a little alcohol on a cotton ball it does stick a lot better. All in all - I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an inexpensive yet sturdy alternative to a PT board. The price can't be beat and it is a very sturdy and (when all is said and done) well built.

Good Pedal board for the price but it is not perfect
The pedal board is made of metal which feels sturdy and well built, from my point of view you can easily fit in there around 8 to 9 pedals, I have 5 there so far; 1 Donner Chorus (small), 1 Donner Reverb (small), one Blues Driver (Regular Size), 1 Compressor Sustainer (Regular size) and one amp foot pedal, and you can see from the picture that still there is ample of space left to add more pedals if needed. The metal construction and the angle which is built ensure that you can easily activate the switches of your pedals with ease if you are standing/sitting in front of it and it won't break easily. Of course, you attach your pedals to the board with Velcro stripes, which is not problem for me like it is for some other people, the price is very reasonable. The pedal board comes with plenty of Velcro stripes to attach the pedals to the board and some other thinner Velcro stripes that I did not use (I think they are for the cables) & some connecting cables for the pedals that I did not used either because I already had mine and those are of better quality than the ones included in the package. I also had my power supply which is a 1-spot power pedal board. Everything is fine until you get to the bag. The bag does not live to the quality of the metal construction and sturdiness of the pedal board, it feels kind of flimsy and with the pedal board made of metal, the pedals attached, cables etc. it gets a bit heavy, but the bag does not come with a shoulder strap but a hand holder that I feel will rip apart if you hold it for long stretches with all the equipment inside, if not well paddle either to protect the equipment you are transporting. I am not so sure why Donner made those silly mistakes; it could be a cutting costs strategy, I don't know, but certainly a shoulder strap is more appropriate to transport your equipment that a hand handle. It is not a bad pedal board, actually for the price I think it provides a great price / value relation, except for the bag, that is where I think Donner could improve. I do not move my equipment that much so this doesn't bother me but if you play for a band or move constantly because gigs that requires you to move your pedal board the bag could be definitively an issue. I gave this Pedal Board 4 stars for sturdiness, reasonable price, a good package of extras that come with the pedal board, but the bag's quality does not allow me to give this Pedal Board a higher rating, if you are a new musician on a Budget and don't move too much your equipment this is the pedal for you, if your activities include moving your equipment quite often, I think you should look somewhere else. it works for me though and I am quite satisfied so far.

Well worth the money!
I was looking for a smaller, secondary pedalboard just for those pedals I put through the FX loop of my amp. I didn't want to jump on board the PedalTrain and be out $200 for a board and some power. I bought this board and the Donner power supply (https://www.amazon.com/Donner-Guitar-Supply-Isolated-Output/dp/B00WHLLDWO/ref=pd_bxgy_267_2) and couldn't be happier with the results. This board is the perfect size for four to five pedals, plus the power supply. Though you could fit more, it'd be tight with the patch cables. The adjustable center support allows you to really ensure the right fit for your pedals. There's plenty of included Velcro tape for the board and for the pedals. One thing to note is that I'm used to a soft, fuzzy board and the hook-style velcro on my pedals. For this board, it's the opposite. The soft, fuzzy stuff goes on the pedals and the hook-style goes on the board. Ultimately, I think this should keep the board cleaner. There's enough room between the three rows and supports and under the center row to hide those tiny power cables running to the pedals. I plan to just use a bit of black electrical tape to secure them on the underside of the board. The pedal board itself is solid, but not overly heavy. While for years I've typically used a large board with lots of drives, a wah, a whammy, and on and on, with this new setup I could rely on my amp's two channels with its footswitch and still bring a variety of tones to a gig.

Very good for money, more than enough space
Perfect board for my daughter and me to share while we grow our duo rock guitar band. Just stick the fuzzy Velcro on the board and the grippy Velcro on your pedals, and don’t bother with trying to measure out the sides of your pedals. There is enough to stick to most of the surface of the board and then you can just gently toss your pedals into place. I even stuck a power strip underneath the board with the Velcro included and it has survived a few open mic nights. It’s a good buy, worth more than the price.

Awesome pedal board by Donner!
About a year ago, I decided to retire my vintage pedals before they took any more abuse and died! I went on a mission to find “Sweet Tone On The Cheap” - and Donner as well as a couple other pedal companies fit the bill. But, I really missed my old pedals: Boomerang 2 Wah pedal by Maestro, Red Army Overdrive by Sovtek, and my DOD FX10 Bi-Fet Preamp... So I decided to buy a bigger board to accommodate my old dinosaur sized effects pedals - even though it’s only 3, they take up so much room! I purchased the Donner DB-S200 Guitar Effects Pedal Board, and I’m really impressed with this product! I was easily able to fit my ancient pedals, along with a few other mini to nano-sized effects :) The build quality is good. I really liked that the board came with the velcro already installed. It has a spot reserved underneath for a normal sized power supply, with plenty of cable routing options. The soft case for this is really nice, too! It actually has backpack style straps if you need to carry a bunch of gear at once and need to free up your hands - great job Donner! I posted a quick video of me figuring out the arrangement of my pedals and setting them up on the board…and what my smaller “econo-board” looks like (another smaller Donner Pedal Board). And for any of you gear-heads out there, yes - the “Mike Matthews Red Army Overdrive” by Sovtek is the real deal… an extremely rare Big-Muff style pedal, built by Mike Matthews under the moniker “Sovtek” out of Russia, after he lost his original brand EHX (which he has since regained control of)... This pedal is worth at least $1000, even in the beat-up condition mine is - but I’ll never sell it!

Sturdy and lightweight
I’m no pedal enthusiast, but I had accumulated several stompboxes that had to be at my feet during a show (iRig BlueBoard to control my sheet music app, my amp’s footswitch, a tuner, some distortion, and some chorus), and so I decided to graduate to a pedal board for no other reason than just to facilitate setup/tear-down and organization. I had settled on this board because I didn’t want to spend a fortune on one (I’m not a heavy gigging player) and this one seemed to be a good size. I like it, and am happy with it. I’ve got to believe there are better ones out there, but this one works great for me. It’s lightweight but sturdy. It doesn’t seem to slide on hard floors. The incline is a bit higher than I had expected, but I have no previous experience so I don’t know what is common. The bag is nothing to write home about, but it serves its purpose of making it easier to transport the board (plus the zipper pocket is big enough for my mix/cable, guitar leads, and iPad). It came with plenty of Velcro that’s of pretty decent quality (although I ended up zip-tying a couple of pedals due to how they are built). All in all, it was worth the price of admission to me. I got it on Prime day, so that didn’t hurt either.

Great board!
Great pedalboard! Well thought out, just the right height, and really like the soft Velcro that covers the whole surface. Pick holder is kinda silly but easy to remove. Lots of pockets everywhere in the soft bag with lots of room.

Fuerte y bien hecha
Es justo lo que buscaba: una pedalera bien hecha donde poder poner los pedales en un fila y con su funda para llevarla.

Great Value for the price.
Plenty of space to add extra pedals as I need to. The included gig bag is a real plus and there as enough velcro tape to mount my power supply underneath so the power cables and patch cables are not in contact.

Ideal para estudio de grabación, casa, etcétera. No la veo para grandes bolos
El material no es malo, cumple su función pero no me veo de bolo en bolo moviéndome con esto. No en vano, por su precio he quedado bastante satisfecho. En mi caso, he comprado la de mayor tamaño. Como bien dicen en otros comentarios, la funda me resulta algo endeble, pero no está mal tampoco. El velcro que lleva adherido de serie el pedal board, si cambias y mueves pedales va a ir despegándose. Si tienes muy clara la configuración (probar primero), este problema no lo vas a tener. En mi caso entraron dos fuentes de alimentación y un porrón de pedales que cambio con frecuencia y que voy necesitando para mi estudio de grabación. No la usaría para directo (aunque en directo llevo solo 4-5 pedales). Os dejo fotos, por tamaño, la de mayor va muy bien, ojo si pesan mucho tus pedales, pero está bien.
