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

#161
So far, the MXR is winning. I've got the board setup as follows:

BOSS TU-2>MXR BOD>OctaBass>MXR AutoQ>amp

The Octabass is "cleaner" sounding. The BOD can get some thicker sounds with some growl (hence the growl knob). The Octabass seems a bit tame to me compared to the BOD. I'll keep A/B'n them until I decide which one to sell (don't need two octavers!)

Latest configuration of my MINI. Gonna take the OctaBass off soon (I prefer the MXR), will add the UniChorus after the AutoQ, and then I need another pedal in there to fill up space....any suggestions? ..maybe a VT bass. I'd love a volume pedal but of course none will fit on the MINI.

Lights off shot included.

Mine is on order....no pics yet, but it will have a Kork Pitchblack, BBE Mindbender, and Eden Navigator 4 Button Foot Control...although for these 3 pedals, I will be running 3 separate cables back to my head.

Cool! Can't wait to see it. Everyone seems to like these PitchBlack tuners...wonder if I should check one out. They seem to be a tad smaller than the BOSS TU-2.

Eden Nav footswitch?? That will take up half your MINI!! LOL. Well, I appluad your choice of amplification gear..I'm running a WT550 & D210XST rig. Love it.

LOL, thanks Brim....it will take up more than half (11" wide) but it does include a mute, compressor, enhance, and Turbo boost....I added a BBE Mindbender Chorus, and I THINK I am set. This is my first attempt at a board. I have not been a big effects guy and I already see how addicting it is...lol. I will probably build a second Pedaltrain Mini for my church and studio gigs where I do not use an amp, and just run direct. Some type of DI along with a tuner and a few misc. things, I dunno....we'll see. The only thing is that I will have three pedals on my board and need to run three seperate cables back to my head. I may try to wrap them together kinda like a snake for simplicitys sake.

Well, I just put this together and then just made a deal so my navi is going bye bye...with the foot control off the board, what should I add on? My Pitchblack will work as a mute, but what else? I don't really need a compressor...was thinking maybe a BDDI or an MXR DI, but could really use some advice.

I just added a Fulltone BassDrive (for some subtle overdrive tones).

Getting ready to mod the Mini to mount a Fuel Tank Jr underneath.

Got my Lava right-angle kit today and wanted to work on the board but I'm pooped after taking care of the kids (dinner, bath, bedtime!!). So...I'll post this here to remind myself to get it done! Maybe Saturday....

Finally finished the "Bart" mod yesterday (Bart is a forum member over at TheGearPage.net, he was very helpful showing me photos and explaining stuff).

Finished product with power on (love the red LED below from the Fuel Tank Jr)

I'll try to get some much better photos. The iPhone camera does not like low light shots. :hmm:
