Passing on a cool board a guitarist friend just got. Wouldn't work for me unless I went all mini, the built in power is only 100mah / channel

Oh wow. This is really cool. My mini board on this platform would work so well. 5cm wider than a Nano and 2.5cm deeper.
Tape going over those LEDs immediately though!

Just read through some of the 1- and 2- star reviews. I will ask my friend how long he's had his and how it's been standing up. I saw him using it with the lift feet down, looked cool. He also said he liked the meter.
Yeah I just had a read also after you said you did. Feels like it could be an amazing product from what I am reading, but isn't quite there. What a shame.
Ooh look - a compact pedal board thread. I've never really been a pedal person. I've purchased the occasional pedal that I thought would be great and then not used them. Earlier this year I was sitting in for rehearsals for my wife and her brothers 80s covers band so needed to get some synth bass tones. As turned out, I ended up playing the gig which was fun but I managed to kick apart the connection to the power supply to the Octave pedal shortly before the first song I needed it for. I decided it would be safer to house the pedals and tidy up the wiring in case there was a next time.
Anyway, this is what I have come up with. Its in the smallest Boss BCB30X pedal board case which is designed to take three full size pedals. The Ashdown Sub Harmonic Generator and Pro Drive were the two pedals I was using for the gig. The Spectra comp is new to me since then and I really like it. The Boss TU12 tuner is a bit of an antique but fits nicely in the available space. Unfortunately it doesn't mute the signal when tuning which is what the copper box at top left is for. Its just a mute switch with a battery powered red ring indicator around the switch which lights up when it is muted. The slightly tricky thing with that is that it also mutes the input to the tuner if all the other pedals are bypassed, On the left is the power supply which is has a switched and fused IEC connector for power in, a 200mA power supply plugged into the bottom and another power outlet under the spring loaded cover for another power supply if needed. The Bass Squeezer at top right is just a placeholder. I'd like to put a small format bass chorus there (probably a Mooer Ensemble Queen), but before I purchase that I'd like to sell my classic 80s Pearl FG-01 Flanger, which definitely won't fit, and robs a bit much bass from the signal to be useful to me. If I add the chorus to the board I will need to replace the power supply with a slightly bigger one.

I had a nano but needed a little more space and power so Iswitched to a small dingbat. Still compact. This setup is great. I might move from two dirts to a splitter for clean/dirty.
Temple Solo 18, Eventide Powermini underneath.
After spending way too much time overthinking building an easily portable board with a few basic effects and DI capability, I settled on this setup choosing simplicity over depth.
These two are slapped onto a Voodoo Lab dingbat board.

Another update to my home made Nano. Was looking for a cheap line selector pedal. ART and One Control make one, but ended up buying the Mosky for AUD$35. Wanted to put my Octaver ,OD, and Env filter in it as I sometime use these 3 for synth and oct/wah together for other songs. Great to be able to turn multiple pedals off at once. Tidied up the cables and added a riser under the EQ and Swiff tuner for easier access also. I have a MXR VBOD on the way too as I am getting annoyed with the delay on the Sub n Up mini, and the octave down is really subby and undefined and hard to control in my opinion. May also put a mini spark in for the EQ, and possibly move the EQ to the Valeton MDR slot as I am using Phaser and Tape echo less and less with this board. The Modele B actually has enough output to drive my IP310 Powered cab pretty well, which means I don't miss the MXR M81 I took off recently to use elsewhere.
Starting to call this my therapy board as I seem to rearrange and obsess over this board more than my others. Is 11 items on a Nano a record?

Twin city is in. Clean channel goes to the comp, dirty channel is MBD into the filter.
For anyone else, an achievement, for you, par for the course.
These have me thinking to do an all-mini board now. If I do, there will be a few we both use.

Thanks brother.
When I initially built this, it was a cheap/convenient board, but it isn't a lesser version of my main board any more other than no wireless. I've tried to replace the Mosky OD with numerous other more expensive pedals, but I come back to this. Only used it briefly yesterday, but the loop box seems great. No tone suck that I can hear.
Can't wait for the VBOD to arrive next week from reverb.
So shameless double post, but new config of the open mic board after today's NPD:
Bought a few more new pedals in the last month or so and put them on a Pedaltrain Nano. Currently using a OneSpot but will switch to a CS6 very shortly. Currently very happy with this setup, but we will how long this lasts!
