A Stompbox is a small wooden box that creates a sound equal to a bass drum. This lightweight wooden box, simply plugs into a P.A. or amplifier using a standard quarter inch jack. Tapping the Stompbox with your foot causes the pick-up to produce a variety of bass drum sounds, from subtle to heavy. It's compact size (approx. 5" x 5" x 1") and light weight (less than 1 pound), makes it easily transportable, and convenient for musicians such as acoustic or electric guitarists, bass players and hand drum percussionists. For the musician that prefers a foot on the floor feel, a solid timber heel board is also available. Pally Stompboxes are great for a variety of performances, as well as rehearsals and jams. Very cool! Every musician should have one in their gig bag. All Pally Stompboxes come with an internal high quality pick-up.
