Is my board covered if a pedal disappears at a gig?

Yes. Theft is covered, and so is mysterious disappearance: the pedal that vanished with no evidence of how, subject to policy terms.

Do I list every pedal separately?

The uploader does it for you. Photograph the board or describe it, and the pedals get identified and valued. Each piece lives in your collection so claims are itemized and precise.

What does Ramble insurance cover?

Ramble provides worldwide, all-risk coverage for musical instruments and related equipment. You're protected against theft, accidental breakage, fire, lightning, water or flood damage, vandalism, damage caused by vehicles, and even mysterious disappearance, subject to policy terms.

How much does Ramble insurance cost?

Policies start at $175 a year. Above that, the premium scales with your collection's total insured value, the deductible you pick, and the mix of gear, since instruments, computer equipment, and general business property are each rated differently. You'll see your exact number during the application, before you pay anything.

What is the deductible?

The policy has a low $100 minimum deductible per claim (not per item). Flood and Earth Movement have a separate deductible equal to 5% of the item value.

How do I get a quote, and how long does it take?

First you catalog your gear, by uploading photos, typing or talking through what you own, or dropping in a spreadsheet. Then you start an application, pick the items you want covered, and answer a short form. Your quote appears immediately, and you can pay right there. Most applications are approved in one business day or less.

01 THE BLIND SPOT

A theft magnet: small, portable, and high-value.

A serious pedalboard is the perfect thing to steal: thousands of dollars of boutique and discontinued pedals in a package one person can carry, easy to part out, hard to trace. Green rooms, vans, and shared stages are exactly where they disappear, and a board full of Klons and discontinued boutique pieces can't be replaced with an insurance adjuster's catalog price.

Ramble insures the board at declared values, covering theft from venues, vehicles, homes, and storage.

02 NO ITEMIZING

Board-level coverage without listing every patch cable.

Photograph the board, or just tell the chat uploader what's on it, and Ramble identifies the pedals without you typing every model and version into a form. Your collection captures the board as it actually exists, values included, and the quote arrives the moment you apply.

03 DISAPPEARANCE

The pedal that never came home from the show.

Sometimes there's no break-in and no witness: the pedal or the whole board just never made it back from the gig. That's mysterious disappearance, and Ramble covers it, subject to policy terms. For gear this small and this portable, it's the coverage that matches how boards are actually lost.

04 GETTING COVERED

Catalog the board from photos or a list.

Photograph the board or give the chat uploader a quick rundown, and it builds your valued collection for you; apply straight from it with an immediate quote, from $175 a year. Our concierge team will even catalog the board for you if you'd rather not. And when you inevitably swap pedals next month, updating the collection takes a minute, with a pro-rated refund if the board's value goes down.
