Pedaltrain MINIs unite!

geck, I've been meaning to ask, what length patch cables do you use for the consecutive 3leaf pedals? they seem shorter than 6 in...

I had an unopened Planet Waves cable kit that I didn't end up using for my bigger board, so I made some customs. Not quite as clean & sexy as Lavas or George L's, but it didn't cost me anything. There's about 2.5" of cable between the jacks.

I see! I'm gonna need to do that soon as well, those PW cables look good to me!

I see you also don't care for those corona burning LED's on Behringer pedals

I cracked mine open and added a resistor inline with the LED. Those things are brutal!

Hmmm ... I have that problem on another pedal (currently solving it with a tiny strip of packing tape) ... what value resistor did you use ?

Mini fun!

Why do some peoples mini's have a large front metal piece the exrends above the frame and sone like mine are flush?

 

[neadams]

that's the old design, you have the newer design

I just ordered a pedaltrain mini. Having a pedaltrain jr and downsizing to a mini and getting rid of my eb jr volume pedal. Can't wait to post some pictures

Downsizing is the way to go, IMO. I *finally* got my Dark Driving on my board after having it for 2 1/2 weeks. In my defense, I was out of state for one of those weeks.

Such a great board! Only problem is that I want to pick up another Tonehammer every time I see it! Unfortunately my love of the Whammy pedal has pushed me over the size of a Mini for now so have had to move up to a Diago gigman.

You just need a Polytune for ultimate coolness though!

Thanks! It's slowly come together to where I think I'm about done with pedal G.A.S. I thought about the Poly Mini, but at the moment, it wouldn't really gain me anything other than to have a Poly Mini. My plan was to get the Poly and then see if I could squeeze that and an Aggie Octamizer on there, but having the power jack on the side of the DD kinda put the kabosh on that... It takes up crucial space for that plan. I suspect I'll still ocassionally swap the Dark Driving and B3k based on mood, but I think this is where my board will be for quite a while.

It's exactly what I want/need, so I can't complain.

I got my pedaltrain mini! I'll post pictures tomorrow. I set up all my pedals, and when putting the pedaltrain away I decided to try the shoulder strap, and noticed that the strap is useless. The whole bag flips and faces down, pedals facing down. I wonder who designed the bag? I like the bag but the shoulder strap is useless, its awkward to carry. Anyone has the same problem? Anyone got a fix? Thanks

Yep, it is useless. I don't use it.

 

[sKyLiNe505]

I bought the mini cause its small, and to use the shoulder strap to take everything in one trip. I guess I might return it

 

[sKyLiNe505]

This is my new pedaltrain mini!!

 

[AmpedSilence]

^ Nice! while I don't use the shoulder strap much, I do use it if I need to carry things with both hands, so I just got a longer strap off of an old briefcase my dad used and sling it across the chest, mail carrier style!

 

[sKyLiNe505]

Got a response from pedaltrain, and their answer was: The strap on the Mini bag is designed to be worn over the shoulder like a backpack. I was able to adjust the strap smaller and able to use it over the shoulder. It works better that way.

I feed the strap through the handles from what would be the bottom of the board side and then put it over my shoulder. It works well this way, balances the bag out.

Cool, I'll have to try that.

 

[fivestringgecko]

I usually use the strap and wear it diagonally over a shoulder, then slide the bag to a "backpack" position, middle of my back. Works pretty good for me.

But I do agree, it could've been designed better.
