NPB: Temple Audio Design Duo 17

Charlie, am I correct in saying if one was to use it with one jack being an output, as described by you below, that as long as an output lead was plugged into the external jack, there would be no risk of a short to the last pedal plugged into the internal jack side when powered on? What can an output short typically do a pedal?

I've seen many people using these modules with one as an output, and no one seems to know anything about the issue you've mentioned. Thanks for alerting us!

I've just built up a Duo 17 (possibly the first in Australia!) and I love it. Pics to come soon!

Yes, with a stock 4 way module, as long as a lead is inserted in an out-facing jack there is no short to the companion in-facing jack. Remove that same lead and the in-facing jack is then shorted. This can be proven easily with a multi-meter or continuity tester.

The result of a short to one's last pedal or pedal chain may or may not end catastrophically, but I would not want to find out with mine.

Congrats on your Duo 17, please share pics here when available!

Cheers!

After gigging with these boards for months, I have identified an accident waiting to happen with regards to the 4 Way Jack Patch Module.

As can be seen from the first picture, protruding 1/4" plugs could easily be stepped on during the gig and potentially result in unwanted damage or disruption.

To combat this, I have adopted the use of a small 3/4" block of wood as in the second picture below and am passing this tip along to you.

Cheers!

Nice thread and really excellent review of the temple audio stuff. The plates are cool but a super pain when you're trying to fit as much as you can because you have to space all the pedals hypothetically before you affix them to the plates.

Working on the modules on the inside of the board were also difficult, fitting my fat hands in the screwdriver was interesting.

Pretty much everything else though I liked. I will be buying other iterations in the future.

Here is my most recent board, however I must say many of these pedals are gone now and I'm just waiting for a few funds to make the next board.

Well done! I think you managed to use every last square inch of real estate there. :thumbsup:

The trick with installing the side modules, is removal of the handle and side panel first, then module installation. Depending on the modules being installed, the ordering of handle re-installation may be very important.

Cheers!

CharlieC et all, thanks for the info, pics, and more! I'm about to pull the trigger on a Temple board myself, and your tips are super helpful.

I also have a CS7, can you elaborate a little more on how you have yours mounted? I was concerned about how fat it is under that board, and I'm looking at a 24", not sure if I should go for the Duo or the Trio for this monstrosity (24/18 board):

any tips?

I already have some solderless in/out jacks, I really like how I can incorporate them into the side panels, along with the mains switch. Any experience using the generic solderless jacks (Amazon.com: Black Solderless TS and TRS 1/4" Locking Jacks (4 Pack): Everything Else) with these boards?

Thanks!

I have my CS7 mounted underneath using one large sized pedal plate (so that only one thumb screw knob protrudes on the top side.) See picture on Page 1 of this thread.

I would recommend a Trio size board for your above pictured pedals.

Cheers!
