Hand made in China. It's #3,426,979 of 100,000,000 and has a hand written number inside the case!Is the clock a custom build?
Latest Nano layout...
NativeAudio Ghost Ridge reverb is incredible! Really intuitive, very natural sounding, with the ability to add modulation. Four presets, make it highly useful (and eliminates a chorus pedal for me)... The RFE has become such a critical part of my tone, too...
I have larger boards, but I’m surprised how often I opt for the tiny Nano (Mono Tick 2.0 gigbag+Cioks DC5)...

Can you explain your power situation? I tried zooming and googling but I wasn’t able to see what that sleek Panasonic box is doing exactly. ThanksThis hasn't changed in a while other than the addition of a clock.
It's a Sanyo Eneloop, not made any more I believe, but I see some on eBay. Closest equivalent would be the Warwick Rockboard PT XL battery that is also 6600mAh.
Interesting and very cool! I googled ‘eneloop’ and a Panasonic rechargeable battery product showed up.
A rechargeable battery is exactly what it is.
I'm trying to workout where you saw Panasonic on it... lol
I have updated (expanded) my board since I last posted it. Pedals have been added but it is all still on a Metro 24.
Chain goes:
Bass -> Broughton L+HPF -> MXR Vintage Bass Octave -> Broughton Josh Wah -> Fender Downtown Express -> Southampton Utility Knife - Joyo Time Magic - Joyo Space Verb -> Broughton Messenger -> Amp.
The Fender FTN-1 Tuner is connected to the Tuner Output on the Downtown Express.
I have put this board together as an experiment/learning tool to basically figure out how and when to use different effects with bass. It is my first bass pedalboard ever. I’ve always played straight to the amp before with no other pedals than a tuner and the on/off Overdrive footswitch to my amp.
I think this gives me some pretty good stuff to work with. I’m enjoying fooling around with it.

I see many battery-powered boards here, mine is such as well. I have a question: what do you do to not to forget to turn battery off?
I found myself in situation that during practice I kept board on for all the time, imcluding fresh air breaks, and since I have MS-60B it drained battery pretty fast.
OFC it boils down to memory, but still.

Battery powered Gt-1B at Saturday’s outdoor show. This is the smaller of two battery packs that I take to each show. I make sure they are fully charged each time. Once I set up and plug in, I don’t turn it off, it’s got enough to easily get me through a three or four set gig. I keep the other pack running the iPad mini for monitor mixing and charging my wireless units on breaks.
I say this in answer to ELynx. For practice, I usually just plug in the power adapter. I use the battery packs pretty much only for shows, and they are left on for the whole show.
My current power does not have anything but charging port; it might be a good idea to have a simple power block as a backup and for practice. Especially for practice when set up and tear down time and process are not of concern.
I use phone back up batteries for pedal board power and always have a spare fully charged.
Small, but it does everything I’ll ever need it to do.
