What to Put on my *Pedaltrain Mini*???

I got a TB edition Cream Pie, a custom Big Muff clone, a Compulator, Serrano Boost and a DT-10BK on mine. Planning to add one of those tiny one loop True Bypass pedals with a patcher in the loop connecting to my big board, so that it acts like a master bypass :)

Pics when it's done.
 
here's mine:

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

X2 wireless > Korg Pitchblack > Bass BB > Supercollider > VT Bass

i re-arranged the Pitchblack to be at the beginning position, just in case i won't use my wireless, i could plug in straight without any problems.
 
I'm contemplating getting one of these for christmas - do you think I could fit all these on there?
EBS Multicomp, Tonefactor red 442, Korg DT-10, and a Barber LTD SR (planned)? I also want to add a Stereo Electric Mistress again. I'm thinking I'll have a PT-mini and my wah off to the side, but I could also go back to a PT-Jr. I'd prefer to get my DC brick on there as well, but I can dig out my one-spot if necessary.

The mini is 20 inches long. Measure the width of your pedals and add about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch per pedal for patch cables. Then add up the numbers.

If you are at 20 inches or less, you're good to go. If more, time to get creative! ;)
 
My current setup is:

Korg PitchBlack >> Fulltone Bass-Drive >> Foxrox Octron >> Devi Ever Year of the Rat

Getting ready to add my Small Stone Nano to the end of the chain when I free up some room with a new set of cables (Lava Cable Solder-Free Right Angle Kit!).
 
Sounds like a nice board!

Curious about your CEB3....I have one also but am considering an EBS UniChorus. Have you compared the two and, if you have, what did you think?

Thanks!


I've had both. Personally I think the EBS are hard to beat! Man, I am gassing for a mini. It would be perfect for my cover band and I could keep the junior for a more "eclectic" setup.
 
Broke down and ordered a mini. Can't wait to decide what will go on it. It will definitely have my X2 wireless, Boss TU2 tuner, and EBS MultiDrive. Haven't decided what will finish it off just yet. I also ordered a single loop pedal for my pedaltrain jr.

Thanks for the experience and insight, I appreciate it!

FYI, I saw in your other post what you were planning to place on your mini. I use the tuner out on my amp for the tuner so I can save room on my board for other goodies. Also, If I'm going somewhere just to jam or have some fun, I can grab just a gig bag and place the tuner in it without having to take the board.

I can get a great deal on a UniChorus right now, but I just bought a Demeter Compulator and I think Sanata is bringing me a Nano Small Stone. So, I think I'm going to have to wait on the UniChorus. The CEB-3 works pretty well.

I'm hoping that after I remove the El Grande Fuzz from my board, I'll have enough room for the Compulator and Nano Small Stone.

I've found with the mini, it's a great opportunity to experiment with space management and really reflecting on what you use and don't use. I love the size/form factor of the mini which is why I don't go to a Junior.

Just for the heck of it, here is my current Mini setup (version 3). It will change after the holidays (hopefully).

Thanks, your board looks killer! I think I may add something like your autowah since my EBS Wah One will have to stay on the Jr. due to size. Good idea on the tuner, I just like everything in one place if at all possible.

Not having all the pedals, including my tuner, on the board has not been a problem for me.

Muting during tuning is an inconvience. I have been thinking about that and I have a two solutions, just don't know if I want to implement either one yet. The first solution is to get a mini A/B box and mount it above the mini looper. "A" would feed the chain, "B" the tuner.

The other solution is to get a looper with two loops on it. Then I could use the second loop for the tuner.

I'm not sure I can find a two loop looper that will meet my space expectations. I know I can find an A/B box that will work.

Like I've said, "an adventure in pedalboard management." :)

FYI, I like the auto wah though I seem to use it only for fun. Taking it off the board would not impact the sound I am trying to achieve for any of the songs I'm playing with my musical friends. I just can't seem to take it off the board.....yet.
 
A custom looper should be just what you need. You can pick how many loops, whether or not you have a tuner out, led's or no lights, etc. I just ordered a Master Looper, who can do what seems just about any setup you'd need.

The reason I'm thinking autowah is I do use my wah on some cover tunes like the intro to "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and the verses for "Into the Void", so I'm thinking I could get by with something like an EBS BassIQ.
