## What is Pedalboard Canvas?

Will everything fit, and where will the signal go? Check your pedalboard at true scale before you build it.

Pedalboard Canvas is an iPhone and iPad app for planning pedal placement and wiring at real-world scale. Enter your board and pedal dimensions in millimeters, then simulate the signal flow and switcher-loop assignments before assembling your rig.

TRUE-SCALE BOARD PLANNING
* Set exact board width and height in millimeters
* Drag pedals into position using real-world proportions
* Check occupied area and remaining board space
* Register photos or saved images and preview the layout with your actual gear
* Save or share the completed board as an image

BUILD A PEDAL LIBRARY
* Register reusable names, dimensions, and images
* Duplicate a registered pedal with its settings
* Create standard pedals and loop switchers
* Set switcher loop counts and pedal assignments

DESIGN THE SIGNAL FLOW
* Build a Signal Chain from Guitar to Amp
* Reorder devices with long-press drag and drop
* Change signal order without moving physical placement
* Distinguish the main path from switcher-loop connections
* View the signal path as a clean orthogonal wiring diagram
* Export and share a high-resolution PNG

EFFECTOR BOARD PRO
Pro unlocks the tools for more advanced rigs:

* Remove all ads
* Save unlimited boards
* Use the built-in database of more than 200 real pedal models
* Search by brand or model and add pedals at their true dimensions
* Use Advanced Chain for multi-channel junction boxes and four-cable method / effects-loop routing through amplifier INPUT, SEND, and RETURN

The free version saves one board.

Saved boards and devices are never deleted when Pro ends. Boards beyond the free limit and content using Pro-only features become read-only until Pro is renewed.

Effector Board Pro is an auto-renewable subscription. The monthly plan renews every month and the annual plan renews every year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
