A bit of a departure for me using a Rockboard, I found it much harder than my usual Pedaltrain builds (staggered cut outs really don’t help with uniform dual lock placement!)

… another Lusithand Alma, but this time the new Mk 3: … these are my favourite comps, the additions for the Mk 3 are a switchable input pad, fast/slow attack times and an improved signal path as far as I know. Great comps.

… the knee control is pretty much a clean blend as AFAIK after asking Phil at Effectrode. I need to spend a bit of time with my one to tweak to taste for my 5 string. Lovely things though 👍🏻

... how do you like it with the Brimars in?

… and tonight’s build (whilst listening to The Tanifesto by the Tanhai Collective, and Meta-Music by The Funky Knuckles) is this Nano build. Similar to my last one, tuner-comp-preamp-DI, but with daisy chain power and no HPF: … and I’ve got a couple more to be done over the coming few days, below is a mock up of a Fretless board on a Nano +, hopefully a 5 way daisy chain will work well to power this one.

Hey all, Just traded + £££ for a lovely EQ pedal from Sine Effects with Chris. Great comms, quick postage and there are no hesitations to deal with again. Thanks. Peace.

Hey all, Just traded a comp with Paddy, all good, great coms, nice bit of PM gig and gear talk and all as it should be. Recommend BCer. Thank you 👍🏻

… I can’t make out the manufacturer, who is it please?

Yeah, a lovely set of pedals and a nice neat build Chadu. I’m definitely feeling smaller builds for bass at the mo as all I need is a nice fat tone 🎵👍🏻

… the underside is like my boards bigger brother ha ha 😆. Love the patch bay power on the Rockboards, shame it won’t fit on my 2.0 one!

Hey all, just bought a mini eq pedal from Steve. Great price, good packaging and no problems. Cheers 👍🏻

… so I was going to make a ‘Stealth’ all black board, but remembered whilst starting to assemble (with the Keeley Bassist Limiting Amplifier) that I had a Lusithand Alma Mk 2 in Chrome sitting on a shelf somewhere lol (my favourite comp and it’s British 🇬🇧 😎) so …

… man, glad I didn’t see that or my bank balance would be a bit lower lol!!

Think a Pedaltrain Riser … I’ve been tempted to try one but know a Nano is the smallest I’d realistically want to go (also you get a bag with a Nano 🤣). Great little board though Chadu 👍🏻

… with the 3M Dual Lock I tend to use a piece 1” x 1”, then cut that into 4 smaller squares. One of these smaller squares per pedal corner and it’s secure but reasonably easy to get off. Also stem density is 400 on one side and 250 on the other (well, highest density and medium density anyhow lol)!

… a couple of ideas for a ‘Black’ themed board … … both are passive DIs, and the pedals will be powered by a Cioks Expander 4, or a 1 Spot. I’ll need to see what works best! It has got to the point where my pedal purchases are based on function AND colour coordination he he 🤣
