JHS TO DISTRIBUTE DIAGO PEDAL BOARDS
Effective Jan 1st 2009, music distributor John Hornby Skewes
& Co. Ltd. will be the exclusive UK & Eire trade
distributor for DIAGO (pronounced Dee-yay-go) professional
pedal board cases and accessories. In the short time since
their market launch, Diago pedal boards have gained a considerable
reputation as an extremely high-quality solution to the
age-old problem of carrying multiple effects pedals and
processors – indisputably the most convenient way
to organise, protect and transport your effects pedals.
And with some boutique and vintage effects units now costing
many hundreds of pounds, it's best that they get the maximum
protection possible from unrelenting road use and abuse...
Diago pedal boards feature rugged 1/2" plywood panel
construction covered in road-resistant fabric, with case
lid and base components being secured by heavy duty lock-ring
style catches. Available in three board sizes, from the
compact 'Gigman', to the mid-size 'Showman' option, up to
the humungous guitar case-sized 'Tourman', Diago pedal boards
are capable of easily holding a variety of many different
pedal size formats.
A length of extremely adhesive Velcro hook tape is supplied
with each board which, when cut and applied to the pedal
base, offers a totally secure fix to the Velcro loop-covered
pedal board base section.
A high-density, foam-packed detachable lid keeps all pedals
and power units firmly in situ during transit. And with
prices for Diago pedal board cases starting from under £100
rrp, they represent an exceedingly competitively-priced
purchase, certainly considering the level of constructional
quality on offer.
DIAGO ACCESSORIES
A number of accessories are also available for Diago pedal
boards, including the impressive Diago Powerstation pedal
board power supply unit. Utilising digital switch mode technology
for quiet and efficient operation, this studio-quality,
compact-dimensioned PSU can power up to an incredible 30
pedals should you so wish – without noise or hum.
Optional power lead adapters mean it can be used worldwide,
in any country, and Powerstation can work with some 95%
of pedals thanks to a comprehensive selection of available
connectors – all type approved, thanks to Powerstation
having satisfied all national and international safety and
use regulations. It's the perfect power supply solution
for any pedal board – especially Diago boards.
Deluxe Daisy Chain power supply cable links are also available
from Diago. Want to add another pedal to your line-up? Simply
attach another daisy chain link to power it – it's
as easy as that.
Conceived and designed by young West Yorkshire-based electronics
engineer, James Kitchen, Diago pedal boards represent a
truly professional answer to multiple guitar, bass and keyboards
effects pedal usage. “I’m delighted to now be
involved with JHS,” comments James Kitchen. “The
fact that JHS is a family-owned company is an important
factor for me. JHS as a company has its feet firmly on the
ground, and it’s exciting that they are really getting
behind Diago products. The JHS distribution network will
enable Diago to reach end users on a far more widespread
basis and far quicker than I could have managed independently,
leaving me with more time to concentrate on additional work
including developing the product range.”
