Introduction 
Accel’s XTA series or tiered and non tiered pedal boards are a modular series that look as good as they 
are versatile and functional. Each XTA model is designed for versatility as a stand-alone pedal board or 
can be linked together as your pedal board demands increase using any other Accel pedal board module. 
The different sizes and shapes of each XTA module and accessories gives you more freedom to 
configure your pedal board set up to best suit you. The XTA series are built rock solid with an aircraft 
grade aluminum sheet metal shell with supports independently welded to the shell to handle the abuse’s 
of the road.     
Each XTA pedal board is equipped with a front load universal power supply bay that easily accepts most 
manufactures power supplies and also has mounting holes to easily install and secure our fully isolated 
and regulated “Power Source 8" power supply and can be oriented with the AC Input & AC Auxiliary 
output  facing out or turned around with the 8 DC outputs facing out. 
The virtually, infinite number of pedal board configurations make it easy to design your Accel pedal board 
in a way that works best for you. 
Each Accel pedal board is available in hard and soft shell cases.
