Pedaltrain MINIs United Again!

I was told I belong over here rather than the nano thread, lol

So here mine is again, don't see it changing anytime soon

Here's mine. Recently downsized my second board from a Junior to a Mini and loving it so far. I had to mod the board by adding a length of aluminium angle to the rear; I can now comfortably get more on without adding too much weight. Makes a nice change from carrying my big board around (PT2). Power is from a Cioks Adam fixed underneath. The BrightOnion dual looper will give way to an Xotic X-Blender sometime this week and eventually I'd like to swap the Love Squeeze for an FEA DE-CL. The Neunaber pedals arrived on Friday and so far I'm loving them, the EXP controller just adds a lot of flexibility (currently set as a delay, chorus, shimmer and reverb) and is very easy to set up and use.

The angle fixed to the board before putting on the velcro.

I really like the aluminium angle, very clean installation Embra.

I need to do something similar to my Mini, as I need about 1" more in depth, front to back. I might go up, with a ½-sized second tier and that way I don't lose the little channel slot at the back, which has its uses.

Thanks, it's fairly straightforward to do providing you have the tools. I bought the angle from a large UK DIY chain but I guess you can get it in most countries. You can't see in the photo, but I used a 22mm hole saw to drill through the angle in three places which allows the power and patch cables to connect to the pedals on the back and remain out of the way. I thought about going up but decided this was a quicker and simpler route, plus as I just downsized from a junior, it made more sense to try and keep it compact (lets hoping I can, still too much GAS...)
 
It's been a long time since I last posted, let alone changed my board. These days I just have jam sessions with my neighbours and the occasional gig in town. There's less need for wireless but I love it and couldn't live without such luxury. I do wonder how effective the thumpinator is in a wireless chain though... As usual, unbelievably cool boards here. Still rockin' my OG B7K too <3

Heres my most recent shot, church this morning with the cali76! Not using the smoothie but still keeping! View attachment 573234

WOW! That certainly brings some perspective to the actual size of the Cali76. Hard to tell its size on other boards, but since I've got a Mini this really helped to see its actual size. It is smaller than how big it seems – somehow simultaneously big and small. If any of that makes sense.

Is yours the STD? Are all the variations of Cali76 types the same box dimensions?

Its not as big as it seems if youre minimalistic, mine is the transformer version. I have the cali76 tx-p on my studio board and theyre both the same size. I use a volto for power, at the moment im only running at 9v.
 
My board at present consists of:
Turbo Tuner
Big John Lil' John Boost
Fuzzrocious Rat Tail Mini
Darkglass B7K
MXR M87

I've been considering playing around with other compressors as well as getting a micro-Thumpinator. I really like the Lil' John Boost, but I'm probably going to take it off since I don't need it on there. Adding the mini Rat Tail to the B7K made a world of difference as it is. Plus, it's the only pedal without a blue LED (aside from the tuner).

I wonder how hard it'd be to modify the Turbo Tuner to have blue LEDs... :cool:
