The Tour Pro Platinum is Friedman's two-tier Tour Pro pedalboard with the power and the patching already sorted. Each one comes with a Power Grid 10 power supply and a Buffer Bay 6, both Friedman units, mounted in holes the board already has for them. The board itself is the same as the standard Tour Pro: made in the USA, a flat bottom row, an angled top row with cable routing holes, and a detachable riser for a wah or volume pedal that mounts for left- or right-footed players.
The Power Grid 10 has ten isolated 9V outputs at 350mA each, runs on 100 to 240 volts AC so it works anywhere in the world, and comes with the cables, including leads for reversed-polarity pedals and an 18V cable. It can also sit on top of the board as a riser, so you can mount pedals on it. The Buffer Bay 6 is a switchable buffer and a patch bay in one, with five TRS ins and outs and a 7-pin MIDI thru. Your guitar and amp plug into the Buffer Bay, so you're not fighting the first and last pedals' jacks every time you set up.
The five sizes match the standard Tour Pro. The 13 x 17 is the compact one, the 15 x 20 and 15 x 24 suit a typical gigging board, and the 15 x 29 and 15 x 42 are for big rigs. If you already own a power supply you like, the standard Tour Pro has the mounting holes for both units and lets you add them later.
