I know Vlad already answered but just to add, I'm powering 8 pedals with a Onespot and haven't had any problems.

I think I might need a wah or something like the Proteus so I can use it as an envelope filter. Pay my respect to doom/stoner metal.
With two existing overdrives, a fuzz, and a bk3 coming in the mail, I figured one of the Pro's would have to bite it for realestate. After some deliberating I realized that having an envelope+phaser+wah all in one, the BEF justifies the need for 3 presets; moreso than the mwbdp. I was only using one of the presets on the mwbd for distortion anyways, the other two were just for mid & low/sub EQ boosts. I may end up with a non-pro version eventually. Also, I had sell a few things to offset the acquisition of an fbass bn5 (so I can destroy it's beautiful earthy tone by over-processing the hell out of the signal)
Some shots of the board. Still in transition - waiting on my Loop-master switcher, some Lava cables, and a Modfactor. I've got room for an sfx Micro Red Dragon and I'll need a board for the ME-8B and other goodies (including and expressionator or two)...

Just the basics:
* Boss TU2
* EBS Multicomp Compressor - always on, multiband mode with passive switch in
* Tech21 VT Bass - Set on SVT setting and used as Overdrive/Boost
* Dunlop 105q Wah - For sparse funky flava for when i get bored

Schweetness! Diggin' the board. I had a Geiger Counter for about a week but it was too much pedal for a simple man like myself, lol. Also, the more I see these BEFPs the more I want to just sell my regular one and go Pro myself. I know I will but I gotsta get me a reverb first.
...And bought myself a Fender sublime (Special thanks go to Sillyfabe and Eyeballkid without whose persuasiveness this would not have been possible 
).
Oh man, this is it, this is my Fuzz... Its so smooth, I want to melt it down and lather myself with it... But I won't because three week's shipping is far too long to wait for another one.
Then when I think it can't possibly get any better, I feed the bad Monkey into it and it just. Gets. Angry!
On a side note, it looks like I'm gonna have to build myself a slightly larger tiered board.

I've been messing around with some overdrive designs. The "53" pedal is a tweaked version of something like the Formula No.5 and the next one in the chain is a tube based overdrive.
Are you starting to bend your own enclosures? If so kudos on that.
Did you build your amp/cab? Any linkspam on that?

I've also been considering dumping my MWBDP in favor of the single stomp and replacing my BEF with the pro version.

No, I'm not bending my own. I got that from a friend who abandoned a build and I wanted to check out some taller enclosures for one of my older pedals that I'm reworking into a smaller form factor.
I did build the amp though. It's a guitar amp - a 5f1 tweed style '57 champ. I was putting the new kid through it's paces on guitar as well.

What's the lowdown on that there Narwhal and when I can I expect some clips
?

Narwhal is a prototype (few yrs old now?) made by IE that never went into production. I think there's only a few around. i was just lucky to score one here second hand in Australia! It's a little mammothy/mastotrony but in a much cooler IE case! Taylor won't be making these (AFAIK) so please don't ask him LOL!
For interests sake i will try to record a clip at rehearsal.

What is the white plastic thing poking up with the blue light
Here's my 1st board. I went with the Trailer Trash 28x16 veltop. I wired the 2 jacks (in and out) myself, hooked up the AC in on the left to 2 courteousy plugs (top and right) and to PPII+. I went with Lava Cables, but just ordered a bunch more cables. I was rushing when I assembled the cables and a few of them don't work and I experienced level drops at one of my shows last weekend. I will carefully redo all the connections. I might replace the BB with a B3K, but besides that, thanks to the input from this forum, the board covers all my needs (rock trio-covers, Keith Urban tribute, country band-covers, country band-originals, as well several fill-in gigs). For someone who's been going Bass-comp-amp for 20 years, this effects thing is a freakin' blast!

Thats real nice first board! Looks like a lot of blending fun.

Awesome, I kept having the same problems with my Lava cables. I feel pretty dumb about not being able to cut them right, I'd rather solder up new cables. At least I can count on them!
Does that mini looper on the upper left have a clean blend? Nice
Did you think if trying the VT Deluxe effects loop too? I always wondered how functional is was.
Nice board, and it does look like you are set up for every possible combo!
