Dear god the tort on that looks rad as hell.
Oh good gravy!!! I don't normally like black basses, but that's just yummy drool
Thanks man! It has a cool story - it's actually the body of my first bass paired with a USA neck and a Geezer pickup. I put it together as a goof after picking up the neck and hardware on the cheap, but I'll be darned if it hasn't become my go-to slab lol
What's the H9 rated at?
If it's 9v, then yes.. or if you have one of the cables that converts to 18v , then again, yes
From the specifications: Power Supply 9 VDC, 500 ma, center pin (+). It will depends on the power draw of the other pedals, and a lot of times, digital pedals like their own isolated power supply. Disclaimer: I've never used an Eventide product.
Thanks for the replies guys.
With the info you provided and a little more digging, my first issue was the H9 uses a 2.5mm cable as opposed to a 2.1mm. And the fact the center is positive. With a little searching, I found that spec cable from a voodoo labs power supply; cable with the red end (Cioks uses a green end but one end of the cable is RCA).
Connected it all together and the Noble powered up the H9 just fine. The only other pedals I'll connect is a VMT for dirt and a small phaser so I should be all set.
Thanks again.

I’ve been testing a friend’s bass cabinet with the noble head. I know it’s promoted as a vintage vibe, but I had my bass at 11:00 and treble at 2:00 and I got a really cool modern tone. The highs were there, but not harsh. Some of the help came from the cab also. I was pretty excited about that!
I have been really digging the responsiveness of my new preamp.
I decided to put a board together with some stuff I had in the garage. It is on a pedaltrain jr. I'm not crazy about carting this around in the flimsy soft case it came with. Does anyone have any experience putting a pedaltrain jr. with a Noble on it into any other kind of bag or case?
I'm curious if it'll fit comfortably into this with the Noble on it...
Pedaltrain Premium Soft Case for Classic JR/Pedaltrain Jr/Novo 18
Mono makes some well padded cases that will fit pedal train boards.
I haven't used one, but someone was thinking! I'd get one if I had a need.
Why do you run the PSM-5?
I'd think it's functions are covered by the TU-2 and the Noble.
drool
It seems like it is acting like a master FX loop in/out for the octave and Big Muff. So they can be switched in and out of the signal chain, whereas the TU-2 acts as a master mute for everything.
So, not really redundant, in my view.
Give the man a cigar. I'm using the 'master switch' part of it to keep the effects out of the signal chain when they are not in use. At some point I may spring for a fancier loop solution as there are so many cool options now. Same with the tuner and cables. I basically just pulled together stuff I had laying around to get back in the pedalboard game.
The good news is that I brought this board to a gig this afternoon and it worked great! I folded the padded laptop sleeve I'd been carrying the Noble in and placed it on top to add some cushion before closing the flimsy pedaltrain bag.
Pelican makes a good case! Great fit, and room for cables too.
