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.

I definitely notice significant changes for the Double NFP and Double NFP Special throughout the entire range of the filter pot turns.

This looks great. Cant wait to hear how it sounds!!

I’m sure this preamp is long gone by now, it’s an old thread. But I agree. If it isn’t good stock, a preamp won’t alter it. @NickA I spent a while fiddling with where I want the treble tone to come from, it’s a cool option to have. As it turns out, though I preferred the treble signal coming from the neck before, now I seem to like it coming equally from both pickups. I must admit some frustration today with the bass, though. I am finding it hard to reproduce some of the sounds I was getting last night. It is quite finicky to adjust. The thought of trying to do this on a gig is a bit of a problem. I did a jazz jam this week where I literally was told the song about 30 seconds before we played it, then the key about 15 seconds after that (!!). Knob tweaking time was really minimal. This is too finicky for that…I’ll keep practicing with it.

I’m returning to this thread as I’ve reinstalled the ACG EQ-01 in my very first ‘Wal-ish’ tester bass, which is now a maple necked ‘Walcision’ with my original Turner MC4 SPSC pickups. These are switchable between parallel/single coil/series. What an amazing system. I could run every sound I need out of the rear pickup of the bass only; it’s nuts to be able to crank huge lows out of it and then add the treble/upper mids back in from the treble stack. Bridge pickups conventionally cannot do this. And then I can set the neck pickup to be a different sound as well and then just use the blend knob to swap sounds. The treble stack is hugely underrated in reviews I’ve read. It is very useful to me. Using it with the other stacks, can truly mimic a bunch of different basses. I had very convincing Stingray and G&L sounds tonight, and can do a Jazz as well (when I swap the pickups to ‘single coil’ mode). Precision sounds are straightforward as well, very little knob tweaking for that. I do wonder if the original instructions could have benefited from frequency response curves. Poor Alan has spent his life explaining how filter EQs work, and the instructions are very detailed, but I wonder if some pics showing EQ curves altering with knob positions and perhaps some specs showing the frequency ranges affected by each knob would have been useful. At least I think in retrospect.

Cool looking bass. Can't wait to hear it!

I haven’t seen any Stingray pickups or cavities with a slope/angle, and I’ve owned a few Stingrays…

Maybe he is…but if so, he has no website, no FB presence, and no order book that I know of…

Not sure where this goes without making it spammy....but I thought other Celinder fans might enjoy my latest creation. I decided that not enough people seem to remember Christian's work, so I thought I'd do something about it. Happy to move this elsewhere if it's the wrong forum!!

I forgot to say. This might end up being useful to others trying to power the Stomp portably. It turned out the USB-C port on the back of the cab didn’t kick out enough current to power my Stomp. So I went hunting for a cheap solution. End up with a cheap USB power bank capable of 5A current (https://amzn.eu/d/jdfMPtF) + a cheap USB-C cable + 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) to power the Stomp instead. Works great, though it has to be plugged in to each other in a specific order. The Step up adapter has to be connected to the power bank first, which lets it negotiate the voltage/amperage, and THEN plus it into the Stomp. It’s a clever wee adapter.
