If you only need to hear yourself, then great. Just plug your iems/headphones into the headphone out and off you go.

Yeah they’re awesome. I had the MC6 first, but decided to upgrade to the MC8 when I saw one for sale. The ML5 was the logical next addition, to have MIDI control of the non-MIDI pedals

Here is the latest incarnation of my board I'm pretty happy with this new arrangement. All mounted on a Schmidt Array SA450: Signal Chain Boss LS-2 (A/B switch for 2 basses or bass/bass station synth) > Morningstar ML5 > HX Stomp The ML5 has a pedal in each loop, so: Loop A > Cali76 Loop B > Octamizer 1 (Sub only) Loop C > Octamizer 2 Loop D > Iron Ether Oxide Loop E > Crowther Prunes and Custard HX Stomp has two loops: FX Loop 1 > Maxon AF-9 FX Loop 2 > Subdecay Prometheus MIDI Chain Morningstar MC8 (Dunlop Mini EXP pedal) > HX Stomp > ML5 Schmidt Connector Box/Patch Bay The Blue jack (Headphone out) is used either for home practice, or for running to the input of the Backbeat, so that it can be triggered by both the bass and the synth. The balanced outs of the Stomp means no DI box is needed, so a simple TRS to XLR adaptor goes straight from the Red output to the desk, and if I'm using an amp/powered wedge too, I can use the Green output as well. Power The power side of the board is all GigRig. The eagle-eyed amongst you will see there are two GigRig Generators. The Schmidt Array has an IEC input, so I've used an IEC splitter to use both Generators. One is for the Stomp only (isolating it) and the other is for the rest of the board. I managed to keep all the audio parts of the chain isolated utilising a couple of GigRig Isolators. Distributor sends power to: Morningstar MC8 Temple Audio 9V to USB Adaptor - for charging my onstage iPad (IEM mix/charts etc) GigRig Doubler - Isolates and provides 18V to the Cali76 2x GigRig Isolators power the rest of the pedals The last spot on the Distributor is a long cable that I can plug my Airturn bluetooth footswitch into to charge If you've made it to the end of this post congratulations! It took me almost as long to write as it did to build the board! 🤣 Hope you guys might find it interesting/useful for your own builds.

Did my first session with her yesterday. Can confirm - absolute dream to play, sounds amazing. Super chuffed!

I’d be looking to sell my Future Impact, and I have both the Super Compact and Future Compact 3d printed enclosures for it. Message me if you’re interested!

Thanks man! It’s gorgeous isn’t it!

Thanks mate! What did you buy?

I wish! I’m the guy who’s now totally skint! 😂

Just picked her up from Bass Direct. Light as a feather, sounds like thunder. Over the moon is an understatement!

Being solderless they are bound to fail if you you are one of those people that reorganises their board a lot, or just a lot of plugging/unplugging. And it is definitely a pain when one goes down. I use Lava cables and have to admit the failure rate for me is not far off as with soldered cables! I had a load of spare jacks and cable that I'd bought years ago, and was frustrated when I attempted to make a a few new ones up from memory and they didn't work, but after watching this video to refresh myself with the procedure, every single one has worked perfectly.

Purely from a legendary status POV: Musitronics Mutron III Moog MF-101 LPF Lovetone Meatball DOD FX25 My personal list (only ones that I've used): Musitronics Mutron III Subdecay Prometheus (original or DLX - I have the original and love it, though the DLX has many more functions and features) Maxon AF-9 Broughton Josh Wah

Mission Expressionator is excellent for linking an expression pedal to multiple devices

Haha! Thanks mate. Well hopefully if they do a Steely Dan week we’ll get the call! 😂

I wonder if he strung it up with dead roundwounds

I've never seen one in the wild, but it's an option in Sibelius...So some mad bastards must use them 🤣

Then don't be too alarmed about the triple dot 😁

I've found that a lot of the adaptors for changing the barrel size (required by the Stomp/HX Effects as correctly mentioned by Hugsonic) ALSO reverse the polarity to centre +ve. So to get round that you can add a polarity reversing adaptor in between, so that the polarity is flipped back to centre -ve again. Your power chain would look like this: Power supply > Polarity Reverse Adaptor > Barrel Size adaptor. Obviously check you have the relevant adaptors first! Used my Stomp with Big Sur without any problems so far for the last few weeks.

Looks great man! Much better than my solution. Definitely going to modify mine to be more like yours. Maybe retire the hairband. Maybe.

You forgot the pink hairband

Bit of Dirty Loops for you
