I’m ready for your video, once you have made it…

I had a shot at cloning a Wal. Did a whole series of videos…. Maybe just go to my last one!

I like the title just fine. 😁

I keep toying with getting an M-Vave Chocolate midi controller. Anyone care to give their opinion on it and/or the kit that comes with wireless midi?

Ooh, another set of pickups for folks to try. Very interesting….what are the dimensions/format? What is the ‘formula’? - ceramic magnets, winds per coil, wire type and size, keepers, etc etc?

Absolutely fine with me, it’s a useful and relevant part of the overall investigation into Wals.

What is the significance of this Stas? I’m not quite as expert as you are at understanding the deeper electronics side of this…

What stand is that? I'm very interested...

Fair enough. We’re in the honeymoon stages of it and probably just going to use QR codes and the like for payment. Punters, well, people are people no matter where I go…

It’s hard to tell how well damped/braced it is internally. But it works for busking, so I can’t complain. I still take out my best cab - yours! - for pub gigs though. Covers everything I need with plenty headroom to spare. Everyone asks me about it when I use it too!

It's this one. https://amzn.eu/d/jdfMPtF 20,000 mAh. I nearly went for 30,000 but thought it overkill. I was right, at least for my usage.

I actually wanted the Ripcord. But it was out of stock for the Stomp version, so I started looking at other solutions. The way I came up with was a bit more flexible (I can take the USB power supply off the board to recharge other USB devices) and it lasts for ages. I can do like 8 hours with no recharge. And I didn’t want to pay for the expensive name brand power supplies for my very modest needs.

Yeah, I've got a cheap USB C cable in there hooking up to a MyVolts USB-C to 2.5mm 5v to 9v Step Up adapter. https://myvolts.co.uk/product/84651/myVolts_USB-C_PD_Step_Up_Tip_9V_c-ve_2.1mm_2.5mm Warning, the MyVolts adapter/USB cable needs to be plugged into the USB power supply first for it to negotiate the correct voltage, and then after that, plugged into the Stomp, for it to work. Had a horrible minute or two when I first hooked everything up and it didn't work, even though the USB brick I bought definitely can put out 5A current over USB-C (at 5V, I didn't quite appreciate the importance of this at first). But I worked out that 1) it's probably putting out closer to 3A at 9V, which is fine, so it should work, and 2) that I needed to let the components talk to other a bit to negotiate things (something here about QC and PD protocol compatibility, as MyVolts explain on their website). So it all worked out in the end.

Ok, the Pedaltrain PB-2 was too small. Couldn’t fit the power supply underneath. However, the PB-3 was perfect for my modest needs. I stuck some rubber feet on the bottom and I’m good.

What was the original piezo pickup used in the original clip by @Ramirez? Cheap or not, it's working... And is that the 3sigma IR?

I thought about it, but wondered if it might warp. I’ll see how the Pedaltrain booster idea goes first.

Right, the Pedaltrain PT PB-2 looks ideal - exactly the right size, the battery pack will fit underneath too - I'll velcro it on. I've just ordered one and some rubber feet too. It's also cheaper than the G Mini Bone. I'll report back once I try it out!

Another good suggestion from @SamIAm - Gator G Mini Bone - https://gatorco.com/product/mini-bone-pedal-board-g-mini-bone/

I’ll investigate. Thanks Martin!

Quick question to the masses. I use the Stomp powered by a portable USB battery (https://amzn.eu/d/jdfMPtF) as part of my busking set up. It’s great. (If any other interest, have a look at this thread here - ) My question. I need a very thin and very small board to stick the Stomp and USB power supply on to in order to keep them off the ground/general filth + keep them secure. I’ll stick the battery and Stomp to it with Velcro. I don’t want any other pedals or stuff to go on there, portability is key. I want to be able to still throw the board with Stomp and USB power on it into my gig bag pocket. Any suggestions for a board?

Just did another open air busking type gig with this setup. Kept up with my drummer on a portable kit and a guitarist through a Bose S1+ with no issues and volume to spare.
