My compact "looping" travel board

I received the Boss Rc-3 yesterday and I look forwards to being able playing with it and getting used to not using a PC.

As I just started a 2 week vacation, we are heading to the beach house, so what better time to play with it :)

I have thrown together a quick board to take with me that actually works out pretty well.

Everything can be powered by mains or by batteries (in case I want to sit out on the deck and play to the sea :D )

It is just a G1on (can be swapped for B2 or B3 also) into the RC-3 Aux in then from the RC-3 to a battery Headphone amp or speaker.

I have used the G1on to practice through both set ups bebfore (without the RC-3) and it is suprising how well the JBL Charge does with bass! Obviously it is no SVT, but it gives far more volume than an ABG and sounds pretty decent.

I use this for both Bass and Ukulele, but here is the set up with the B2 to make it a little more bass relevant ;)

Here it is all wrapped up and ready to travel, nice and compact! You can't really tell in the pic but I added a loop of velco at the bottom of the RC-3, this holds the cables etc. when not in use.

And, why not, the whole rig that I am taking. Pedalboard, Headphones, Ibanez Mikro and Electric Uke.
