Worship Bass Pedalboards

Or wait for Stomp 2.0 when line 6 debuts their own pedal capture software
Shameless plug: I just threw up a nano board in the classifieds with the basics on it if anyone needs a 2nd rig to leave somewhere or whatever.
Nano board, cs6 pro, bddi v2, keeley bassist and a polytune tuner. Plug and play ready.

What is a good simple volume pedal for a worship board? Dunlop mini, perhaps?
Yup. I have the Dunlop X 8, guitar player buddy has the same setup. quad cortex and x 8, he obviously uses it as an expression pedal as well. Another guitarist I know has the one with a tuner built in, that's super cool.
I'll probably get around to making a trade thread for a Stomp. In the meantime, if anyone has one that they'd like to trade, send me a message. I have a bunch of stuff that I was planning on keeping, but a Stomp would get more use. I have an Octabvre, Khan VTDI, Empress ParaEQ, Xerograph, a bunch of overdrives and other odds and ends.
REDDI does take up space and weighs a lot, but I have heard no better tone. Downsizing to a Stomp is nice, but you do lose something.
Thanks - definitely the best tone I have gotten recently. Now if I could just figure out how to tuck the REDDI under a board like that Khan set up, I would be golden.
I took the Gladio to last service, and I'm bringing the DCX this coming Sunday to compare. I just got the set and there are a lot of opportunities to see what the DCX can do. So far, in the practice room, I am impressed with it.
I have it in OD mode at the moment. The drive is set fairly low. The pedal sounds great in a lot of settings, but since I will be trying to only have one drive stage on my board, I have to be pretty particular about it's use. The biggest balance, for me, is finding a gain setting that works with fingerstyle as well as it does with the pick. The Gladio sounds great with the fingers throughout the whole range of the gain knob. But, I like the thickness of the lows on the DCX. I think I have the DCX set up where it could be my only drive. We'll see on Sunday.
I just made very minor adjustments to the EQ. I should take a pic, so I remember the settings.
DCX is I think next on my list to try. I wanna shoot it out against the Jam Rattler but since I'm using that for low gain drive I feel the DCX might do that job better.
Shoot outs are fun! And kind of not fun at the same time. But, mostly fun. I went down a big overdrive rabbit hole. I found some really great pedals. Right now, the DCX and Gladio are battling it out. I really liked the Holy Fire/Grizzly circuit and the Jellyfish, and the 1981 LVL is cool for it's own thing. There are just too many pedals out there to try.
I finally have a Stomp on the way. I have been talking about it for months. I worked out a trade deal here on TB and I'm excited to check it out. So many questions though...
The two biggest are:
It looks like the power requirements are 3A @ 9v. The Cioks Crux is 2700 mA @ 9V. Are there any issues using the Crux to power it?
It has the IMA presets installed. Will these stay installed if I were to an update at one point?

Yes, with better tracking and bigger lows. The tracking is better in that it can hold onto notes for a long time. The boss would sometimes glitch on long sustained notes.
