NCD Modular Pedal Riser Size Guide
The following article is a size guide for each pedal riser in the NCD Family
***PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PICTURES USED IN THIS GUIDE ARE USING AN OLDER (BLUE) VARIANT OF OUR RISERS. PLEASE SEE PRODUCT LISTINGS FOR UPDATED COLOR AND APPEARANCE.
1/2" Height Pedal Riser Solutions
BLOCKEE Is our secret soldier in the pedal riser world. BLOCKEE has by far, the smallest footprint in our collection, allowing for the most possible space under your pedal for wire routing while allowing you to boost your pedal off of your pedalboard by a half inch (1/2").
BLOCKEE Dimensions: 1"wide X 1"long X 1/2" tall
***BLOCKEE does not play well with its own kind and therefor, you cannot expect to stack 2 BLOCKEE Risers together and get a good result. However, If used in tandem with our full size riser selections like the STILT, MICRO STILT, XL STILT or SKY SCRAPER, Then BLOCKEE Will Excel at its task!***
SCAFFOLD is a modular pedal riser that provides maximum flexibility for most pedal shapes and sizes allowing for the most room for wire routing out of all of our modular pedal riser solutions. The only limitation this pedal riser has, is the loss of stability when trying to stack this riser on top of itself. You can however stack a Scaffold with any of our other Modular riser solutions as long as the Scaffold is the pedal riser that is directly applied to the bottom of the pedal.
SCAFFOLD Dimensions: 1"wide X 2 & 1/2"long X 1/2" tall
STILT is the pedal riser that started our entire journey in to making modular pedal riser solutions. It provides the most versatile balance of support and flexibility as its designed to fit under single effect sized enclosures as well as much larger pedals. The design of the NCD Modular Pedal Risers Stilt allows for stacking multiple risers together to customize the height of your pedals however you need. This design also allows for wire routing underneath most pedals.
MICRO STILT is a modular pedal riser that was designed for special circumstances. As its name suggests, the Micro Stilt is designed to fit perfectly under micro sized pedal enclosures like the EHX Pico POG, the Xotic Effects SP Comp and any other effects pedals that fall in to that size category. Though this pedal riser is a perfect match for the aforementioned pedal size, the Micro Stilt has another functionality, it works underneath volume/expression pedals when placed at the front and back of the pedal as shown in the picture below. This Pedal Riser is a swiss army knife that helps bridge a gap where odd sized pedals need a solution that other products in our line might not be the best fit. The Dimensions of this riser allow for stackability to customize your height the way you need it!
MICRO STILT Dimensions: 1 & 1/2" wide X 3 & 5/8" long X 1/2" tall
1" Height Pedal Riser Solutions
XL STILT expands on the design of the Stilt by adding vertical height so you don't have to stack 2 Stilts together to reach 1". It provides the most versatile balance of support and flexibility as its designed to fit under single effect sized enclosures as well as much larger pedals. The design of the NCD Modular Pedal Risers XL Stilt allows for stacking multiple risers together to customize the height of your pedals however you need. This design also allows for wire routing underneath most pedals.
XL STILT Dimensions: 2" wide X 2 & 1/2" long X 1" tall
XL MICRO STILT is a modular pedal riser that was designed for special circumstances. As its name suggests, the XL Micro Stilt is designed to fit perfectly under micro sized pedal enclosures like the EHX Pico Pog, the Xotic Effects SP Comp and any other effects pedals that fall in to that size category. The Dimensions of this riser allow for stackability to customize your height the way you need it! The XL Micro Stilt was also designed with gaps on the bottom surface to allow for wire routing underneath the riser.
XL MICRO STILT Dimensions: 1 & 1/2" wide X 3 & 5/8" long X 1" tall
1-1/2" Height Pedal Riser Solutions
SKY SCRAPER further expands on the design of the Stilt by adding vertical height so you don't have to stack 3 Stilts together to reach 1 & 1/2". It provides the most versatile balance of support and flexibility as its designed to fit under single effect sized enclosures as well as much larger pedals. The design of the NCD Modular Pedal Risers XL Stilt allows for stacking multiple risers together to customize the height of your pedals however you need. This design also allows for wire routing underneath most pedals.
SKY SCRAPER Dimensions: 2" wide X 2 & 1/2" long X 1 & 1/2" tall
Angled Pedal Riser Solutions
AXIS expands upon the design of the Leaner. This pedal riser is designed with the same intention of use but at a more streamlined approach. If you need to give your foot switch a boost on an angled board, but not the amount that a LEANER provides, This riser might be the fix! It gives you just enough boost to get above pedals of similar height.
AXIS Dimensions: 1" wide X 4 & 1/2" long X 3/8" tall
LEANER & LEANER PRO are both a new approach to pedal riser solutions. We designed this pedal riser specifically for angled pedalboards. The Leaner can fit underneath almost any full sized pedal, from single effect sized enclosures to much larger pedals. You place these pedal risers underneath a pedal at each end of the pedal or depending on the size of the pedal. This gives you complete support all while giving space underneath the pedal for excess wires.
Why is this better than the stilt series of modular pedal risers for an angled pedalboard?
You place the riser with the tallest end of the riser toward the footswitch end of the pedal so that you boost the footswitch end while keeping the top of the pedal closer to the board. The Leaner utilizes the angle of the board by negating the angle and making the pedal (once the pedal riser is applied) rest parallel to the ground. This creates a stadium effect allowing you to engage a pedal without knocking a knob or footswitch on a pedal positioned below the pedal you are engaging. This design also minimizes overall pedal height keeping your pedals lower overall than using flat pedal risers. The Pro Series adds a gap underneath to allow for additional wire routing but placement needs to be thought out as gaps in rail type pedalboards might make mounting difficult with the pro series.
LEANER & LEANER PRO Dimensions: 1" wide X 3" long X 1" tall
MICRO LEANER & MICRO LEANER PRO expand upon the design of the Leaner. This pedal riser is designed with the same intention of use but with one difference... It is meant for single effect sized pedals so that you can turn a pedal sideways on the board and still make use of this modular pedal riser design. The Pro Series adds a gap underneath to allow for additional wire routing but placement needs to be thought out as gaps in rail type pedalboards might make mounting difficult with the pro series.
MICRO LEANER & MICRO LEANER PRO Dimensions: 1" wide X 3" long X 1" tall
(6) LEANER is another adaptation of the Leaner design meant for Volume/Expression/Odd shaped pedals as well as any oversized pedals that could make use of an 6" Long (front to back) angled pedal riser.
(6) LEANER Dimensions: 1 & 5/8" wide X 6" long X 1" tall
[8]LEANER is another adaptation of the Leaner design meant for Volume/Expression pedals as well as any oversized pedals that could make use of an 8" Long angled pedal riser.
