The polyethylene hardshell case is large enough to accommodate the pedal board and all attached effects intact--allowing musician to keep all pedals and stompboxes patched and connected at all times. Additionally, since a fully loaded pedal board gets heavy, the SPB-8C is the first one to feature a pop up handle and wheels for quick and easy transportation.

On the electronics side, the stereo patch bay contains eight, 1/4-inch switching phone jacks connected in two stereo loops. This allows a single guitar or instrument input to feed multiple mono and stereo effects boxes, send and return from remote effects, and feed up two amplifiers simultaneously.

As you might have surmised about any unit coming from Furman, the SPB-8C has two levels of surge and short circuit protection and the company's standard level of RFI/EMI filtering for clean, noiseless signals. DC pedals are powered without hum by utilizing a high-quality toroidal transformer with each output individually isolated and rated at 120 mA and protected against shorts--if one pedal effect shorts out, the rest will continue to function.
