Im very excited. Im negotiating a deal with the owner of an OC-2 that is brand new, no scratches, still has the box/papers.
Now all I need is the BBM, and the PT Mini. The Q should be here tomorrow, and Im ordering the OC-2 today, if allowed.
If anyone has a Big Bass Muff, PM me! As said in my sig, WANTED!
Guess I'm not as concerned. I haven't found a velcro strip I couldn't remove by using a hair drier on a med/low setting to blow warm air to loosen the glue and some Goo-Be-Gone to remove the residue.
what do you all think? do you think i have space to squeeze in a Trex fuel Tank jr in there?
Don't know. However, somewhere in this forum there is a link to a PedalTrain Mini thread in the GearPage where people have modded their mini's to place a power supply underneath the board.
Here is the link showing Mini"s that have been modded for a power supply'

The process basically involved cutting a couple of supports underneath and replacing the feet on the Mini to give it a little more clearance. Looks very "doable" if you have the tools and skill.
Another option for 18v power is a step-up converter made by Godlyke called the Power Pump. It's an adapter tip that has an upcoverter on it. I've read posts of people using it successfully with Godlyke and OneSpot power supplies.
Get a DC brick and squeeze it vertically in the space between the faceplate and the upper tier.
Just updated my Mini. Gone are a Nano Small Stone and a PL.....off-boarded.
Added a Zvex Mastotron and Catalinbread Valcoder.

Nice Board!
How are you powering it?
Nice Board!

Thanks!
I use a OneSpot to power my Mini, though, I have thought about modding the board so I can mount a power supply on the underside. Take a look at post #164.
I bet you could get 6-8 zvex pedals on a mini...man, I wish they made pedals that I wanted and could afford lol
hmmm....
I don't want to get a DC Brick because personally I feel it's an overpriced piece of daisy chain wire in a box, and it's much more expensive than a Fuel Tank Jr in my country.
The Godlyke Power Pump seems to be out of stock from all the online retailers that I have searched so far.
Looks like the Fuel Tank Jr is probably a better choice, but I'm worried baout it sticking out too much, and also one question... that black power cable coming out of it.... can it rotate so I can turn it to a nice angle if I can fit it into the mini's faceplace and the first tier?

That's a good idea. Thanks!
And hey if you wanna get rid of that nano small stone I am looking for one. Just shoot me a pm.
Nah wished it was removable, would make things much easier but it doesnt. Btw if you're wondering about the trex fuel tank sticking too much and causing an obstruction when you zip it up, dont worry it doesnt. Basically apart from being an eyesore, it isnt much of an inconvenience hahah
Right is't fixed and un-removable. It would nave been nice if it was so you could adjust it. I just sold mine, not because of that but because i needed a special connector to my compressor and the Voodoo Labs had it. The VooDoo Labs does have a separate power cord that is removable and it comes out straight from the back so it's a little easier to manage but it is a little bit larger in size but it has more connectors.
I just got a Micro Qtron, but Im not sure how to power it. Do I just need a 9V AC adapter? Does it take 9V batteries?
Havethought abaout putting the zvex pedal the other way round? If it works you'd be able to fit another mxr sized pedal on there
From what i see here you should be abe to use a 9V adapter, like the T-Rex, Voodo labs or a dedicated adapter.
"Electro-Harmonix XO Micro Q-Tron Envelope Filter Guitar Effects Pedal Specifications:
Optional 9V 100mA 1/8" positive tip adapter"
http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/...on-Envelope-Follower-Effects-Pedal?sku=150101
I played around with mounting the Zvex vertically as I was switching out the pedals on my board and I couldn't quite get enough room for another pedal. Maybe with a different patch cable solution.
However, I have another Catalinbread pedal (an Ottava Magus octave ring multiplier) that would fit perfectly in that spot. I would probably move the Zvex to the top row (so I don't smash the knobs) and place Catlinbread pedal on the bottom.
Or, maybe try to pickup a Catalinbread Hyperpak to add a little dirt.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I got the Qtron today. It combined with my DOD makes a killer rock-funk sound!
I just sent the money for the OC-2, and am still looking for a Big Bass Muff.
