Awesome, I'm sure it'll hold up like a rock ( I miss those Chevy commercials )

I'll be working with this until I get more funds in for a
Line6 G30/G50 and I want to find a nicer od/distortion eventually too. Looking at you b3k.... :

[MagicMan_841]

Oh yeah.

Nice board. The Submarine is the only one on there I haven't tried, and I've liked what I've heard about it (everything except the reputation of the builder). All great pedals, the GR and SFT are top personal favs in their categories.

Is the toggle switch an on/off switch?

Yup!

This was from a couple weeks ago, but I keep the o'l PT-Mini sized plank around for whenever I want to practice downsizing.



Timeline is gone now, imagine a Disaster Transport instead.

How are you finding the triton ?

[Matt Morgan]

An update on mine. I'm loving the TC Electronic Corona Chorus but the new MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe has definitely got my attention. I'm looking forward to hearing some reviews and sound clips when it becomes available.

[TaySte_2000]

Thinking of back up from a nano to a mini so I can squeeze and extra pedal or 2 on.

Anyone else using the Pelican iM2500 case?

I'm thinking if I can mount some sort of separator in it so the bottom is filled with cables and then the pedal just sits on a removable board on top.

I tour a lot and the Mini and Nano are the perfect size but softcase is not ideal.

Been looking recently at mounting them in a big production case along with all our other bits.

Do like them Pelican cases though, there is a nice size for the Line 6 M13 as well I've noticed.

Hey guys! I am interested in a PT mini!

How much, do you reckon, would a mini cost along with the power supply and cables for 5/6 pedals?

[fivestringgecko]

It all depends on what you buy and if you buy new or used. I picked up my Mini (and a couple other things) in a trade deal for an envelope filter, so if you've got gear you're not using, you can get creative too.

At a bare minimum if you buy new, it'd be about $140ish by my math:

$70 for the Mini
$35 for a 1-Spot
$30ish for patch cables (you can get bulk patch cables at GC for about $5 each)

Those prices sound right; I think I paid about $110-$120 after taxes. Just need get my act together and start putting it together, especially after seeing all of these great examples.
The T Rex power supply might be a future upgrade if the One Spot doesn't work out.

[CauliColin]

Awesome, thanks! I haven't got quite enough pedals for a board yet (3 or 4), it is getting to the point where the cable-mess is getting on my nerves.

Three or four pedals is a GREAT start! H3ll, if two pedals is all you need/want, there's your board right there.

Cable mess is much easier to manage than people realize. The right cables help of course, but it doesn't take too much effort to make your board clean. Check out my Mini below. The guitarist for my church constantly talks about how no matter what configuration of pedals I have, I've always got the cleanest board he's ever seen.

I normally use a Planet Waves cable kit, but my board is in transition at the moment, until after the holidays when I can make a couple key purchases and finish both boards. In the newest revision of my board, I'm using those simple $5/each patch cables I mentioned. It's not as clean as I'm used to, but it's only for (hopefully) a couple weeks.

(The Planet Waves are the connectors between the Dark Driving and PWNZOR.)

The key, my friend, is these: Velcro reusable ties. I'm using two currently, but I've had 3-4 on the mini and I think up to 8 on my PT1. Got them at Lowe's for $2.99 and there are no end to the uses for these things. I even stick them to things around the house and they drive my stupid cats nuts. lol

Current setup:




and a few versions ago, with the Planet Waves cable Kit. Not quite as easy in super tight spaces as George L's or Lava, but also less expensive. And shiny black chrome. lol

[TussinBot.]

been trying to find a pt mini used but I think I may just have to bite the bullet and get a new one shipped to me...its only about $15 to 20 different between new and used. This will be the effects on the board though, possibly changing out the wah for an mxr envelope filter but we'll see.

Pedaltrain Mini updated. Getting SOOOOOooooo close to having both boards done........
