Main Features

Durable Protection, Easy Access, Ultimate Portability

Sun Shield

The Reflector Pro features a robust, weather-resistant material that shields your pedal board from harmful UV rays. Whether you’re rocking out at a festival or playing an intimate garden gig, your pedals remain cool and unaffected.

Rain (& Singer) Repellent

Our innovative design ensures that rainwater or water from the singer’s water bottle slides right off The Reflector Pro, leaving your pedals dry and ready to perform. No more frantic towel-drying between songs!

Durability

We’ve tested The Reflector Pro against the elements—rainstorms, scorching sun, and everything in between. It’s built to withstand the rigors of touring and outdoor gigs.

Easy Setup

Unfold The Reflector Pro and place it over your pedal board like a pair of sunglasses. The coated aluminum makes it lightweight and won’t weigh you down.

Style Meets Function
