just a small update with my flyrig. temple mods added for dual input, fx loop and DI 

 

How do you find the Dunlop as an expression pedal? I\m a big fan of the Moog EP-3, and have a few of them, but I'm considering something smaller (but not cheap and nasty) to save space on the board... this is currently looking like the best option.

I like it. just the right amount of resistance and seems to be more responsive. My previous one was the DOD mini expression and this one is definitely better for me.

Jees, that's a great board @ordep

thanks mate, it works very well for the function gigs that I do. We are ampless and most of the time I bring 2 basses (fretted/fretless) or a bass and a synthbass so the switcher is so handy. 

3 out of 4 gigs this board will be my choice.

 

this one takes care of the 1 out of 4. Sounds very nice but heavy and a bit risky for beer spills. 😆

Thanks for the insight. I've also tried the DOD and didn't like it at all compared to the Moog.

I think the Templeboard Solo is the perfect size for my needs, not sure I can justify another board on top of my RB 2.1 and 3.0 though!

My first ever pedalboard which I'm really chuffed about. It's been a long, long while in the planning, but now reality and just a few days old.

 

The design goals prioritise cableless audio and power, rather than lots of individual pedals.

 

My board will be used for  pub/function gigs, trialed yesterday at a pub jam and worked a treat. 

 

Only one actual audio processing pedal on it!

 

Will be interested to hear your thoughts and ideas for similar. Hope some of this is of interest to others here.

 

Fully cableless:

* Powerbank powered, no mains at all

* Wireless bass (signal in)

* Wireless IEM system (stereo mix out to IEM earbuds)

* Wireless DI (Post) to stage bass amp (signal out)

 

Optional wires:

* DI to band IEM mixer (Pre out) - the band IEM mixer also splits all incoming signals so that FOH can take my Pre signal from there, if desired

* band IEM (stereo mix in) to headphone amp

* DI to FOH (Post out)

 

Functions: 

* Wireless bass, stereo IEMs and hot signal to amp

* Separate bass signal out to always on tuner 

* When my bandmates don't use a band IEM mixer, I can still mix in my own Pre signal to my IEMs to hear myself optimally - and if they do, I get a mix feed, stereo or mono back by cable to my headphone amp, mixed with bass Pre to my IEMs

* Both Post and Pre options for DI

* USB hub underslung and powered by the powerbank

* The whole board and all three pairs of battery powered audio devices (transmitters and receivers) lasts at least 6 hours, currently.

 

I'm basically a multi-pedal guy and am not don't have a lot of time to  perfecting sounds. When I need a sound I use or create one close enough that I'm happy with and my bandmates or sound engineer can tweak my amp or FOH.

 

This Valeton GP-5 came today and completed my board. If I really, really need a particular pedal (had early lust for the new MXR synth pedal!) it can replace the GP-5 for the gig.

 

My bass has a custom extension cable with a Neutrik silent right-angle jack to Neutrik female socket - connected to the wireless transmitter. Using a Thomann

 

Finally, my cables are custom made (do the majority of us do this?) where I used very compact, low profile asymmetric TS jacks with a single screw and soldered with Sommer Tricone MkII cable which is a perfect fit.  Here's a size comparison with a HiCON J63MA05.

Where did you find those angled connectors, @kiat? Good size!

@itu AliExpress. I've used seven of them so far and they are all of good consistent quality, zero noise. This is my order, to give you an idea of what to search for and anticipated pricing. These were shipped to me in the UK in about a week.

Aside them being cheap (which is a big pro!), is there a reason you went for them over EBS flats (which are even flatter, and very awesome)?

 

Cool board by the way. The idea of it being powerbank powered on stage scares me. I don’t trust batteries at the best of times, but I can imagine in certain situations it can pose as a benefit.

Honestly, I didn't seriously consider them as the adverts I saw of them were all on cables, and I wanted to make my own, especially as some of my board cables are XLR to TS. When I saw these little beauties, intrigued by the hinge design, I knew I had to try them.😁

Thanks, a design like this obviously  isn't for most folks (including probably every full-time professional) who have multiple pedals and/or very pro setups, but I'm focusing on speed of setup and connectivity. I'm also wary power cables can get kicked about on the stages I go on, with my feet, multiple bands etc. Will see how it goes and whether I reintroduce power and audio cables back in.

Make sure you report in after you’ve used it for a few gigs. Will be interesting to hear your insight to gigging this way!
