OnStage GPA1003 Utility Stand for Pedal Board

I have been gigging with this stand since 2021 and it's design is a game changer! If you have a pedal-board you know how hard it is to use a boom with a round base or tripod mic stand, plus get it close enough to work in a small space.Additionally there will be no more accidental tipping of your mic stand from some intoxicated dancer that gets too close to you.You need this!

The mic stand works great with my helix and would be great with any pedal board. I haven't added any other stand accessories. The base is sufficiently heavy.The only con I have is transporting. It seems best to break down the stand and base.I still recommend those stand tho.

THE GOOD: The base slides perfectly under my board. THE BAD: I just wish it was more adjustable. I swapped the top arm with another boom stand I had and BINGO! The perfect mic stand for a pedal board user!

Tired of a cluttered front-line on stage? Wondering how to get rid of all those black tubes? this is it!Pedalboard or simple multi-FX fits right on top of the base, which is nice and heavy. The stand mounts on one of three M20 fittings, so it can be centered or placed off to one side, and they sell other attachments to use on these! I plan to add an M20 speaker pole and laptop stand for Live Band Karaoke nights! The hinge in the stand allows for a comfortable Mic placement without needing a separate boom arm! But it packs up like a straight stand!!I've picked up two of these so far and might add a third so every one of my band members can have one and the front of the stage will be so clean.

This thing solves a lot of problems that conventional stands have. I'd been having issues with tripod stands and my pedalboard. I would prop up the board on two of the legs and have the third facing away but as usual people dance too close and don't watch their feet so they'd be stepping on the leg. If they weren't tripping they'd be swinging their arms and catching the counter weight of the boom and I'd have to duck to keep from getting the mic in my chops. This stand fixes that. The boom is adjustable in height and angle and slides down inside the upright shaft for easy carrying. Your board will sit on the 8 pound flat base. No tripping on a third leg, no arms hitting the boom. I also bought another micro boom in case I needed more length on the boom. If there's a down side it's that you have to come up with a way to stow the thing when you transport. I've been finding a way to lean it against things or in some cases I've had to remove the base just because of the shape of it. Small price to pay for something that works well. It's light enough to move but it's heavy enough to sit still and not rock especially with a pedal board on top of it....I use a Headrush so I have some weight on it. I highly recommend it.

Go back to the original design! I've got 2 of the original designed stands and they've held up well over the years, came back to get a couple more and saw this new version, these new designed ones look cheap, and by the looks of customer photos, they are, and they cost about 20.00 more than the "better" originals did. as far as accessories, the On-Stage GPA7155 Guitar Hanger is pretty good, but the soldering is pretty weak, they bend and break pretty easily, I've had to replace them a couple times, and no surprise, they're also more expensive. come on OnStage! you're charging more for less quality, and that's a good way to lose customers... disappointed...

In getting this stand I had two reservations :1. Mic weight2. Pedal board depth1. I sing into a Shure sm7b, (cause I have it, it sounds good, why not) and it has a tendency to tip mic stands. (not enjoyable) I also use a gator franeworks quick release, so I can swap/store mics without wearing down threads. That's about two pounds of weight.2. I also have a 13.5 inch deep board and worried that it wouldn't reach far enough. My current k&m boom has trouble holding my mic far enough back, to the point my toes are regularly wedged up against my board.The good news:My stand arrived just now and, due to stay home orders in my county I can't get to my mic or my board (at my church right now) but with a spare shock-mount for my wife's podcast rig, plus a few free weights, I can gladly report this thing will hold 3 pounds of weight (a sm7b weighs less than 2) at full extension with the boom tipped forward, extended an additional 3 inches off the end without tipping when bumped. Thanks on-stage for this brilliant solution.

If you are a working mucians this could be a great stand. Mine was until the "welded" middle stand screw-in spot fell off. Still going to use it, but dont' bother with this unless you're really picky like me about mic stand placement. Not a well built product.
