Worship Bass Pedalboards

For those of us with a Mono bag but a Nano+ pedalboard, I saw this in the accessories forum. It's a Nano+ sized version of the Tick 2.0.

Nice find... are you changing to the Nano+, or you still going with the Nano / Mono Tick? FYI... I have a small nano sized pedalboard in my closet that's a 1/4 inch longer... and I couldn't fit it in the Tick 2.0. Now I'm not so certain about the 14.5" max length. Your biggest issue is the power cord on the Khan. It might be too thick.. even if you get right angle cable.

I have no idea what I'm doing now. HX Stomp 3.7 released and has a Noble emulation. I haven't had a chance to try it but if it's good, I may just stuff the Stomp in the front pocket of the Vertigo and call it a day. I will have to see how well that fits. I currently have the Stomp and Khan mounted to a Nano+ but there is overhang for cables that would probably overhang the ends on a Nano as well. I could squeeze things inside of the Nano + dimensions but probably not inside of a regular Nano. I may just have to carry them separately for now in the Pedaltrain bag or spring for this other option.

I added the Regal DI (Noble) block at the end of my go to patch I use yesterday... and I really like it... especially in combo with a Khan VTDI for that tube goodness. Someone in the HX Stomp thread A/B'd their Noble and HX stomp with the new Regal DI block, and said it sound similar to the Noble, but missing that tube sound. The Khan will fill that tubeness in for you... at least it did for me. Didn't know you had the Vertigo too... weird that we pretty much have the same gear/setup... LOL.

The Vertigo was/is a Christmas present. It arrived yesterday.

Pedalnetics Helauxy Duo Mini arrived yesterday, I love it. However, now the Nano+ setup hits the top of its case (buttons are high) so no way it's going to fit Stomp only in the front pocket of the Vertigo. Probably going to leave it as is on the Nano+ and order the larger bag from studio slips at some point.

Moved things inside the edges of the Nano+ to see how tight I could get it. Still 16 1/2" so I don't see a Nano happening with this setup.

sorry, I missed this. Even if the power cable didn't have to plug in the back of the Khan, there would be overhang on a nano.


Where did you get the screen protector for the stomp?

This one looks like their larger one that might interfere with the Pedalnetics switch. You may need to email them to ask about the smaller screen cover.

There's a big difference between a mains powered tube DI like the Khan and a 9-12vDC tube DI like the Finally.
False. Why are you basing this on the power input which has no bearing on what is supplied to the tube itself? The Sushi Box pedals have full high voltage to the tube. It isn't at all about the power supply given proper design (voltage, current, noise).

My ears are not good enough to tell a whole lot of difference when I use the Khan or not now. There is so much going on inside the HX Stomp that the Khan is really just smoothing out the edges for me. I can hear a difference but I cannot tell you what it is that I am or am not hearing if I use my Stomp through the Khan or just hook my headphones direct to Helix Native on my computer. If the Sushi can smooth the edges a little like the Khan it may be a worthwhile change for me.

You are right I should have been more specific. It's a forum. Sometimes I type a quick reply, sometimes I go into more detail. I apologize I did the former here.
Anyway, full voltage is critical yes, but, as you say, so is proper design. And Sushi Box has very much so had a trial-by-error approach. I'm not saying they aren't solid pedals (especially at this point)--I've liked the couple I've owned--but they're not in the same league as a Khan.

There is as much variation between "mains powered" tube DI boxes as between any of them and the SB Finally. They are all a matter of taste.

I'm just saying your statement is simply not true. For example, the audio portion of the big ol' REDDI could easily be powered from 9 V or 12 V.
