Any ideas on where to get extra DC power cables for CIOKS that are shorter than the 17.5" inch sets they sell on Amazon from Kurrent Electric?

Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Thank you so much!
This pedal was recommended to me by a guitarist in one of the bands I play in.
He bought it 4 years ago (of course, with my money) and brought it to me when he was on a business trip.
I really like the versatility and functionality of the SA141
and its unique recognizable sound. There was a moment when I took it off the board because of the size,
but then he nevertheless returned to her and I am sure that he returned for a very long time.
In addition, it is nice that many musicians who see this set of pedals in performances,
with surprise and interest ask about them.
Yes, and I myself like a non-standard approach to finding my own sound.
Yeah, they do, duh moment for me (posted that while rehearsing and a cable went out).
You might want to check Cioks4A. It's super compact.
The Stagebug is a lovely little box. I still prefer the Pro DI (I prefer it over the JDI too!), but differences are really subtle, at least to my ears, and the Stagebug is about half the size of a ProDI so if you're running out of space that's a perfect choice.
Just finished soldering a cable to connect the pedalboard do the Stomp's loop send and tested my setup for this years music season. All sounds good and ready to go.

Analogman chorus is quite impressive I have to say
Compact / not compact.
Iterations in progress.

Stagebug just won in a shootout I did in a studio between the Acme Motown, Countryman Type 10 and Neve RNDI.
Which I realllllllly did not expect. I now own 3 of them
I have a Stagebug as well. It's never let me down.
Whoah! That's high praise indeed. I had a Stagebug and dug it but the ProDI won out, and then the Countryman 85 won out, and now the Sushi Box Finally is tops. For now...
Yeah I had a JDI, and then the Countryman 10 won out, and then a Groove Tubes Ditto won out (but too big for most gigs), then the stagebug won out and I just decided to double down on them and put 1 in each gigbag.
I still have the countryman as it works well on double bass and the active DI would give me a slightly more hifi sound if I needed one.
All of this is super subtle and any differences are gone as soon as they start turning on the rack compressors and ears in the studio.
Showed my board before and even if it looks the same there is some major changes under the hood. I play guitar on a couple of songs in a duo and now I have two pages of guitar presets on the Morningstar and 4 pages for bass. The bass presets on the stomp is panned left and goes to the BassRig and then to the mixer, the guitar presets are panned right and goes direct to the mixer. That way I have separate outputs from the pedalboard and separate channels on the mixer for bass and guitar. Ok, it’s not compact like a little Nano but taken into consideration that I have two boards in one and access to a lot of different effects and options I think it’s compact for what it’s capable of.
Has anyone compared the StageBug to the Switchcraft Audiostix 314DI? That’s the one I had on my board for yonks, until recenly as I plan a new board setup.
I wonder what the difference in size and performance would be.

The Walrus Audio Canvas Mono is a much better DI than the StageBug. I've tried both. The Canvas was the clear winner. I even like it more than the JDI.

Finally upgraded my looper after 10+ years. After getting the QC, I waited some time to decide what to keep or sell off my huge space ship size board. I listed most of the pedals and board and got a great offer for the bulk of my pedals. I wasn't planning on selling my Boss RC 50 but it was a good deal and saved me time piecing everything out. Upgraded to the Cioks DC7 and have a Crux on order to power the board. It's slim enough to fit under the board versus the Strymon Ojai which didn't quite fit - the laptop power style thing was millimeters too big and it was resting on the floor. Will probably move the DC7 over a bit so it's not covering the bottom vents of the QC.
I was interested in the Singular Sound Aeros since I saw it and decided to go for it. Super happy with it and all that it does. What a powerful yet tiny looper. I was hesitant about the lack of switches but it's easy to use hands free, navigate and has more to offer than I had on the Boss. I'm still learning it but what better way to learn than on a gig! I am in the middle of a series of live looping dates put on by my local library and took the chance with a week to learn and perform with it. The pressure to learn it definitely helps and I feel really comfortable with it so we'll see how it goes.
Signal path: Temple 4 way is my in to the QC. Another I/O is used to plug in my in ears for monitoring and click from the Aeros. The Aeros lives in the loop of the QC so I can process the loops as well. I have a basic reverb on them to feel more glued together and not so sterile as well as some fun FXs for certain parts. This also keeps things simple as I mix my lead and the loops in the QC to one out up my speaker. Dunlop is hooked up as an expression to the QC. I was using a DOD Volume Mini as an expression which worked fine but it took a y cable which was super short and it had to be to the left of the QC which was a little weird. The Dunlop works better and is a better size.

I haven’t tried the stagebug, but I’ve been using the Switchcraft 314 DI for a couple of years now with no worries. The performance and form factor are hard to beat for sure.
