"Maybe buy a second as a backup?" This is ALWAYS the TB answer
In all seriousness, it would be a decent option if you love the Noble. Order a second one at it's normal price. Have piece of mind knowing you have one coming if anything goes south with the one you have. If for some reason an accident happens, you can just pay the difference and get the one on order delivered faster. Not a terrible plan. An expensive plan, but TB isn't know to save bass players money!
@OkayistBassist This will be coming back in stock in the next few days, and should more or less tick the box perfectly!
fun little board. PT nano/cioks5. pls pardonnthe settings as some have been move at transport
Here's something new I've never seen before:
Orientation is to facilitate the CV in on the left of the OC420, plus the Oracle being sideways on a gig is annoying with the XLR out on the bottom. So for now, my Nano+ is vertical.

I totally know what you mean about wanting a backup. I had to send mine back to Jack for a repair - not because of any fault with the Noble, just a house with negligent wiring. I thought "whatever, this will be an exercise in zen gigging without it", but losing your DI, pedal power, and main tonestack really blows, and the Noble was sorely missed.
As others have said, you can pick up a Neptunium for a backup. Drops are rolling as units are finished, so check back frequently and you'll hopefully be able to snag one.
As for the paranoia - I don't know what variety you have, but this post of mine sums up my feelings and experience with the Noble's readiness for duty.
My portable rig and my whole rig minus a cab neatly packed and ready to go.
I moved things around on my office rig, built on a D’Addario xpnd:
Signal chain is right to left: the pod express functions like an HX One, feeding one effect at a time down the line. Everything else is always on. There’s a Cioks Sol underneath, and the Linden’s output goes into my interface.

I'm always struggling with my interest in pedals and me not wanting to take a big pedalboard... I am very happy with this new pedalboard because it covers all of the projects I play in.
The layout might be a little weird, but I think it is the best I could make.
Line 6 Relay G10s-->Boss TU-3w-->HX Stomp-->Walrus Canvas DI. All powered by Cioks Sol.
I wanted to put the tuner on the left because I always fear that the wireless go crazy (never happened, but better be ready) so I can plug a cable straight to the tuner. I use an external tuner, even though I really like the tuner in the HX, just because I like to have a pedal that mutes not being the HX (in case something happens to the HX). I could have bought a cheaper tuner, but I like the Boss's switch I have to say.
I will include my Disaster Area Midi Baby 3 when I need to switch presets or when I need more footswitches. I will just turn the DI 45 degrees and put the Baby 3. The board is a D'addario XPND so no problem.
I have no problem with the G10sII. However, I got a Fender Telepath that works incredibly good and it works in 5.8 Hz instead of 2.4Hz. I prefer the format of the G10s, but it takes some room. In the future I will probably switch to the famous Shure, so that I can replace also the tuner, but so far so good.

Wow, I never knew Peterson made a tuner with top jacks. Nice.
It’s good, but a heads up if you’re thinking of getting one - the power jack is on the left side, not the top, thus that little space between it and the compressor. Pretty inconvenient design choice.
Ah that’s a weird choice- even right side woulda been better for my board
It is unfortunate. Really a Polytune Mini, even with side jacks, can take up as little space or less because most of the time it is the first pedal all the way to the right and you don't have to worry about the right side input jack for space. The saving grace for the Strobo Mini is being able to use the USB power. When I need the space, I just plug up the USB to a battery power pack I have under the board for such things.
Compact Board family update…a few little changes, mainly on the main board as per my last post, the Grey Stache onto the ‘dirt’ board, and a couple of better cables on the other boards.

I was searching the forums here to ask about using my Hulk pedal and came across your post. I was given a Hulk and really don’t know what to do with it.
So I also watched a video that showed me the 30&60 Hz pots inside. What are they and what does one do with them? Here’s where mine are set.
I’ve only messed with this pedal at home and it sounds….weird. Like the effect is too low and it seems quieter…or like it’s going to blow my amp (GK MB112). Are these things mainly just for blowing out windows at a bar or club?
