Risers can also support a plywood panel to create a solid raised tier. A quality 3/8" (9 mm) thick plywood panel stays rigid without center support up to about 14" long. Add more risers to support longer panels.
The 2" riser height offers clearance for most power supplies as well as patchbays, DI boxes, buffers, and other devices not requiring foot access.

Helweg risers are a mounting bracket and riser in one, screw-mounting directly to the pedal and pedalboard—no Velcro required.

Our exclusive two-piece riser design can span any distance, and the series of slots and holes on the riser tops accommodate many pedal sizes. For easy setup, we've assembled hardware packs specific to different enclosure types.

The minimalist design creates open space on all sides and beneath. The slim steel strip construction offers lightweight durability.
Developed through years of building and setting up custom pedalboards, Helweg Design screw-mounting brackets and risers offer secure lock-down and quick removal of effect pedals, control units, and power supplies.
