Pedalboard revision: I finally subbed my OneSpot adapters for a decent PSU: Cioks DC10 mounted underneath the board. And as it's been quite a while since I posted my board here (not much of a poster, but a big time lurker ), I'll post another pic: Bass -> Polytune -> OC-2 -> DIY Bass Tubescreamer -> DIY D*A*M Ezekiel 25:17 -> DIY Big Muff -> EQD The Depths -> Line6 M9 -> Amp

My band announced a little giveaway on Facebook this afternoon: https://www.facebook.com/solidspaces/photos/a.701869716512457.1073741831.643703902329039/1236331436399613/?type=3&theater We're giving away 3 EP's, and the giveaway is open for everyone! So head over to our facebook page, like it, like the post of the giveaway and share it publicly to be in the game for an EP

Thanks, I'm a happy camper now! But in the very near future I wanna smack a Boss DD-5 or DD-6 on there too. And yup! It's actually a Space Station/XP300 in the housing of a Modulator. I was lucky enough to find one that wasn't priced too high. Pedal order is like this: bass -> TC Electronic Polytune -> Boss OC-2 -> DIY Bass Tubescreamer -> EHX NYC Muff modded to a vintage green russian one with extra mods -> Earthquaker Devices The Depths -> OneControl 1LoopBox with the Digitech Space Station in the loop -> Line6 DL4 -> amp.

Updated my pedalboard, now looks like this:

Today we published a short clip for the ghost track on our EP (there's a ten second gap of silence after the last song, after which the ghost track begins). [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Igwe35x6NKo[/media]

Thanks, mate! Really appreciate it. I am very happy with how all of it sounds, and how my bass sounds.

My Muff was an NYC model I bought for dirt cheap. I then modded it to more or less a green russian one. The mods I have done are some of the most frequent I think. 2 switches are for removing the diodes from the circuit (one switch for each diode pair), another switch is to have a mid bump, and the last one is to choose between two resistors somewhere in the circuit which changes the character of the low end. All mods are very usable in my opinion, both on bass and guitar. Removing the diodes is such a cool trick: basicly you get a Colorsound Supa Tonebender, with the result of more volume (it really is loud), less compression and gain, thus a more open overdrive-like sound.

My Pedaltrain Jr is a bit crowded Polytune -> Boss OC2 -> DIY Bass Tubescreamer -> Modded Big Muff -> EQD The Depths -> Digitech Space Station (thus, a modded XP200) -> Line6 DL4. At this moment all pedals are powered by a OneSpot adaptor, except the Space Station: it uses an Line6 adaptor. Still have to buy a decent power brick though. I'm going for the Truetone OneSpot Pro CS12 probably. And I might need to either rehouse the Muff into a smaller enclosure, or buy a slightly larger board. All pedals are hanging over the edge of the board, but it still fits tightly in the softcase.

Then I'll have to hit the shop for a CS12. It also just popped to my mind that the EQD The Depths I have can take 18V for more headroom, it's worth a try. (According to the website: The Depths can be powered by 9v for warmer tones or up to 18v for a stiffer tone with more headroom and sparkle.) And like you said. AC is very rare for pedals these days. And once in a while there's a pedal that needs 18V, so yeah. I appreciate all the help I got, much kudos to all of you!

Thanks! So apparently I have two choices: the Cioks AC10 and the Truetone OneSpot Pro CS12. Hmmm, I'll have to dig in to find out whether they would fit under my older Pedaltrain Jr, but I guess they probably both fit in there. That makes it more difficult, both seem decent and have a decent amount of options. The OneSpot Pro CS12 is about 30 euros cheaper though.

Thanks man! Glad you like it. We've spent a lot of time and worked hard on our debut, we booked a decent studio and had our EP mastered by a professional. And it seems to pay off. Very good reviews in Belgium (where we're from), and it's also getting a bit easier to arrange gigs. Oh, and one of our songs (Nevermind) even got a little bit of airplay on the national radio. So yeah, we're quite happy. But it's also nice to see that people from abroad like our music. And we always appreciate every comment - good or bad - that way we can keep working on our music.

My band recently released its debut EP. Available on Bandcamp right here: [url="https://solidspaces.bandcamp.com"]https://solidspaces.bandcamp.com[/url] We also made a clip with some studio footage: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcpQoBhhIqk"]https://www.youtube....h?v=OcpQoBhhIqk[/url] It's hard to describe what genre we play (cliche much? ), but something like "alternative pop" is quite okay, I guess. But there are also influences from funk, soul, rock, reggae, maybe even a little bit jazz sometimes. Let me know what you guys think! And feel free to like us on Facebook: [url="https://www.facebook.com/solidspaces/"]https://www.facebook.com/solidspaces/[/url]

To difficult for me though but thanks for thinking with me all!

I'll probably have to go with the [url="http://cioks.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=40&Itemid=5"]Cioks AC10 (click)[/url] as I can't find any other PSU that will power my whole pedalboard including the DL4 and the Space Station.

[quote name='rmorris' timestamp='1461155056' post='3031921'] Sounds like you've been lucky with the DL4 noise. It is possible that a 'Digital' effect might have adequate noise suppression inside it or be well enough designed to avoid the issue in the first place. Bear in mind that low level noise issues may not be noticed in some circumstances - live / rehearsal etc but could become noticeable in, eg, a studio recording environment. The Space Station sounds power hungry ! DC into an 'AC' input can work depending on the detail of the 'AC input'. A simple bridge rectifier circuit will accept DC of either polarity and produce the correct polarity at the output. You may be running at reduced voltage level with 9V DC going in- probably losing 1V or so across two diodes in a bridge giving somewhere around 8V. 9Vac (rms) going in will get uou about 11V at the output as it gets rectified to the peak value minus the diode drops. Whether any of that matters depends on the internals of the unit. Best stick to the specified AC or DC as other units may have different power input circuitry and internals. [/quote] No problems with my DL4 in this chain, even when recording. Lucky me! As for the Space Station: that's what I've found on the internet, but I bet that it's below 500 mA. I'll try to stick to the specifics of each pedal, don't want to burn anything. [quote name='Bottle' timestamp='1461153380' post='3031901'] For all the pedals bar the Space Station I'd use the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2. Comes with isolated outputs. Can get brackets to fit it on the underside of the PT JR (I've got one on my Classic JR). Should be able to cope with the DL4 OK Can't do much with the Space Station as that is obstinately 9V AC - this may require a separate PSU unfortunately. [/quote] It's definitely good to know that the PP2 fits under a PT Jr. Thing is that I want only 1 PSU 9V DC appears to be no problem for the DL4, but I don't want to fry my Space Station. So I'll have to look for a power brick that has (at least) one 9V AC power outlet. And that power brick has to fit under my PT Jr, as the top of it is already crammed with pedals.

Clear! I always assumed that my Line6 DL4 was a digital pedal, but I have never experienced any problems with it when I had it on a daisy chain together with my other pedals. But it's probably better to connect it to an isolated output that isn't shared with any other pedal. Same thing for the Space Station: it'll need an non-shared isolated output. I have looked up how much the current draw is for every pedal. Polytune - 50 mA Boss OC-2 - 4 mA DIY BassScreamer - probably not more than 10 mA EHX Big Muff - probably not more than 10 mA EQD The Depths - 35 mA Line6 DL4 - different sources state different things, most likely around 250 mA Space Station - 500 mA There's still one thing I'm struggling with to figure out: both the Line6 DL4 and the Digitech Space Station require 9V AC. I've had my DL4 succesfully connected to and powered by the OneSpot (of which I assume it only gives DC) with a L6 converter cable. So I guess that the DL4 works on DC too? Or can such a small cable adapt DC to AC? Just wondering :-) As for my Space Station, I don't want to ruin it, so I probably need a 9V AC output on the power supply.

Thanks! Is there anyone who can tell me whether or not I can power multiple effects with only one power outlet of a supply? It's probably okay as I already do that with my OneSpot (which is actually one outlet going to all of my effects). I guess distortions and fuzzes don't require as much power as certain digital pedals. That way I don't have to buy a huge brick.

Hi guys! My pedalboard is in dire need of a new power supply (I guess?). For the past couple of years I've been running a full [url="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61PQqBMNr7L._SL1000_.jpg"]Pedaltrain JR (old style - click)[/url] on a OneSpot adapter. Now, my pedal chain goes like this: (Bass ->) TC Electronic PolyTune -> Boss OC-2 -> DIY Bass Tubescreamer -> EHX Big Muff NYC (modded to a green Russian with extra versatility) -> Earthquaker Devices The Depths -> Line6 DL4 (-> Amp). (I had an EMMA Discumbobulator in there, but it's now for sale) I've never had problems whatsoever with my OneSpot (I've probably been using it for around 5 years - rehearsing & gigging), but as I am about to purchase a second hand Digitech Space Station, I figured that I can't power it anymore with the OneSpot. And people have told me several times that I've been pushing my luck with the OneSpot So what do you guys suggest? What is a decent, fairly priced power supply that fits under my Pedaltrain Jr? I'm a total nitwit when it comes to power supplies and such. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!
