D'Addario XPND Core Single Row Pedalboard-1

D'Addario's XPND Core presents a fixed–size pedalboard for musicians building a signal chain from the ground up. Unlike its adjustable counterpart, the Core skips the expansion hardware and delivers a straightforward platform focused on stability and cable management. The hook–and–loop strips arrive pre–mounted, eliminating setup friction and keeping pedals anchored during live use or the studio. This entry point into the XPND ecosystem appeals to players who value simplicity without sacrificing upgrade potential down the line.

Two footprints cover different rig scales: the PW–XPNDCORE–01 measures 13.25" wide by 5.5" deep, while the PW–XPNDCORE–02 stretches to 16.7" wide and 12.5" deep, accommodating anything from a three–pedal minimalist setup to a fuller array. Compact and lightweight construction keeps transport manageable, yet the integrated cable management system prevents the tangle that derails troubleshooting on dark stages. Assembly is required, though the modular design means no special tools or expertise. Once settled, the secure fastening keeps the pedalboard itself stable across different floor surfaces.

The non–adjustable format pairs naturally with musicians who've already mapped their signal flow or prefer a single, unified platform. Should your rig expand later, purchasing the optional expansion kit unlocks the full XPND system’s reconfigurable architecture, transforming Core into a fully adjustable board without requiring a complete rebuild from scratch.
