Pedaltrain MINIs United Again!
- Thread starter fivestringgecko
- Start date
I've been judiciously using a PT Nano for years but I finally caved and upgraded to a PT Mini. I've mounted a Fueltank Jr. underneath, added some Voodoo Labs right angle power cables for a cleaner look and started utilizing the green current doubler cable to power my Enabler. The Fueltank is great and powers everything except the Pitchblack which is running off a battery making it much easier to pull when I need access to the Enabler's DI or when I want to yank the Enabler for practicing with the headphone amp (I use a Onespot for that).
I really wish that Mono or another company would make a good aftermarket soft case for the Mini.

Dammit, my pedal swapping has ended me up with a setup that might not fit on the Mini. Due to multiple 18V pedals, I'm changing from a 1spot to a DC Brick, but even without that it looks like the pedal arrangement I've got planned is juuuust a hair too big. Booo!
Barbershop on the Pt Mini.. its a no brainer.
Here is a pic of my mini for a covers gig yesterday. Yup I have a Barbershop too, though mine is a clone.
Your pedals are perfectly arranged in size order - that's ridiculous!
I just noticed that myself.. It was not the plan but hey Ill take it.
Anyone have a list of all of the DC bricks that can fit in the Mini - either in the top recessed area or underneath?
I'll start...
Isolated power supplies that fit a Pedaltrain Mini without alteration of either the power supply or the Mini:

T-Rex Engineering Chameleon

True, but with one caveat: only for the most or recent model of the mini. Pedaltrain moved one of the bars underneath to accommodate a power supply.
I never had a need for pedals, but I recently started thinking about buying a few to meet some specific needs. So I bought a Mini to try to limit myself to a few that I will really use but, after only a few months, I already have more than will fit on a Mini. However, I'm still experimenting to figure out which will ultimately stay and once in a while I take one off and put a different one on. As of now, these look like a likely set of keepers:
Swap out that Polytune for a Polytune Mini and get some lower profile cables and you can easily fit another on there!
How you digging that Phat Phuk with the Barbdershop/Keeley combo? Up until recently I was using a very similar setup.
I've also been using a Nano, but I'll be adding a VT Bass and a Multicomp, so unless I edge the Pitchblack off the board, I may have to step up to a mini.
All of the Talkbass forums are full of enablers but, from what I've seen since starting to read the Effects Forum a few months ago, I think the biggest enablers are in here!
(maybe because pedals are relatively cheap compared to basses and amps?)Actually, I have thought of switching to a Polytune Mini so I could get a wireless on the board. But a set of pancake cables, the EBS cables, or something similar is a good idea and would make it even easier to get the wireless on there.

Just wait until you really get into it. I am in the process of mapping out a PT-1 right now, trying to fit everything I "need" on it. Easily $2K worth of pedals alone, then you've got the board, cables, power supply(ies), etc. It's a deep hole for sure, but damn fun!Depending on the wireless and if you feel like going into a little DIY, you could mount it under the board. A L6 G30 or G50 could probably fit fairly easily. I've thought about putting my G50 under the Mini quite a bit.
I am totally lovin' the tone. I think the Barbershop sounds great by itself but even better with the Phat Phuk in front of it. It gives some nice grit to the Barbershop sound.
