Upgraded to the Mission Engineering 529M and it’s been a great move so far. I was previously using a cheap step-up converter rated around 800mA that would get warm under load sometimes, so I wanted something with more headroom.

Haven’t pushed the 529M hard yet, but with up to 3000mA available it already feels like a much more solid, reliable solution. Build quality is excellent and it’s nice not running close to the limit anymore 🤙🎶 20260425_074232.jpg

Ended up having to get a better power bank to consistently run the Microbass 3 and other pedals like a TC Electronic PolyTune with a digital processor. The voltage was fluctuating too much at initial power on with smaller less expensive banks. Works perfectly with the Anker 737 🔋💯
