It's all good, but do be aware that few open mic sessions will be keen to grind to a halt for 20 minutes while you set up your toys!
The ideal jammer walks on stage as soon as his name is called, his bass already tuned, plugs the lead into his bass and starts playing.
I've seen any number of guitarists infuriate the entire room by spending ages kneeling down, plugging and re-plugging various pedals, looking for power supplies, asking if the PA has a parallel output busbar with its own aux and slider, and does anyone have a spare patch cable? Damn! Forgot to bring the tuner.

I'd imagine they'd be chucking their toys out of the jam
