I’d do an HX stomp based board but - and this is bonkers - I don’t know where my HX Stomp is. I’m beginning to wonder whether a “wrong” box went to the tip last year…

That's pretty epic @andy_k! Also, you're powering the whole thing off one solitary 9v battery? That's also pretty great, short battery life not withstanding.

Thanks,
it's actually not that bad, all analogue, and really the only thing I have on all the time is the Ghost, plus at least one of the drives.
I have just worked out that with all switches staying in one position, I have 23 gain stages, with 2 switch positions on the Fool and Wrecktifier, and 3 on the AA.
The Blue Fool is great for some weird over the top glitchy stuff, or just a really good fuzz, with or without octave down.
Wrecktifier has a solo boost that only operates when the pedal is on, which is a bit annoying, but I am using it mainly for its eq section, still can't get over how good the AA pedal is though, so many options for so few parts.
The Klone has a buffer, so that is a bit of a drawback if the juice runs out, otherwise they are all true bypass, so will still operate on dead battery, I'm not intending to gig it anyway, so its not a problem.

I think that is plenty to be going on with, I never really mess with delays or modulation because they seem to mess with me, and I like these simple circuits because they are pretty conservative on power.

This....

Has turned into this (no longer nano +)

NelsonP · November 2021

But now I've made this one...

TimmyO · July 2022

MOD request - any chance my recent thread: https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/231841/nano-board-of-pure-awesome#latest could be merged with this one?

AntonHunter · July 2022

Current state of my Nano board.

Night Wire doing boost/auto-wah/trem duties into Blues then Rat. Mood mostly as a reverb, with added loveliness when needed.

Quilter Superblock US and Toob Metro GP+ is my new favourite rehearsal amp.

noisepolluter · July 2022

After having a Metro 20 for quite a while and trying to make it cover all eventualities, I split it into two Nano+ boards, the bottom one in the link below does 60’s/Americana sounds into a clean Fender, and the top one does 70’s/general rock duties.

I’ve just assembled this Nano board, bit of a squeeze but just about fits. Could do with a couple more inches…

Sorry someone had to

My lil board.

Probably gonna swap out the PSU for a CS7 1spot and add a modulation pedal.

Never seen that speaker before - how does it sound?

stickyfiddle · July 2022

This is the latest pic of my Nano. Usually surrounded by random other things before and after but a good central base to cover most things. The RD Compact often switches for the D1 or Monument trem

I’ll set ‘em up, you knock ‘em down.

Here you go.

TC Polytune - Mr Black Octaves - Tate FX Rodent 308 (#3 of the original 3) - Funny Little Boxes 1991 - EXH Soul Food - Hamstead Soundworks Ascent - Mr Black Reverb

I really like it! I mean, it's 6.5" so there are limitations of course, but I get a really nice jazzy tone at home by rolling back the tone on my guitar. With my tele the mid/treble focus, while being a bit brash at home, I found it cuts through really nicely in a band setting.

I'm not hugely knowledgeable about speakers generally, but Markku at Toob is incredibly responsive on e-mail with advice and great to deal with.

I’ve posted this or its ilk several times so forgive me...

and it still looks just as cool as the first time I saw it

If James Bond had a pedal board, this would be it.

"What about Q?"

"Good point, but theresh not enough room for a parametric equalisher."

TimmyO · July 2022

That’s very cool

Keefy · July 2022

My Revival Drive Compact got booted off my main 'board by its big brother so I thought I'd give it a go on my little jam/R'n'R board in place of the Crowther Hot Cake.

I mainly use this board into a DIY 5E3 Deluxe with a rock'n'roll band. With the RD I've created a Tweed-flavoured drive channel, and boy does it bring out the Tele-ness of a Tele!

I only use the Spring Reverb on one song and I'm tempted to put a tremolo in its place...

On the one hand I want to award extra points for ingenuity; on the other, part of me is shrieking 'Aargh, those pedals aren't straight!'

A few gain stages and a tuner on a bit of cherry with a t-rex power supply underneath.

I think 4 pedals constitutes a small board….

I’m not sure that an actual amp does though!

You sort of need a board as well to constitute "a board".

How easy is it to get your leg up that far to stomp on them an all?

I can’t even play standing up…..come to think of it my sitting down playing isn’t up to much either…

Alterlifeson · July 2022

This thread makes me want to ditch the Pod Go, get a Tone Master DR, a few nice pedals and be done with it. Some really nicely thought out boards here. Love it.

NorthernStomps · July 2022

Mines changed since I posted I’m here back in October.

Feel like I’m kinda cheating with the GT1000 Core

Here's what I made so it could sit on top of my Champion 600 practice amp when it's not on the floor:

From the top:

From underneath:

The width of the Champion was the limiting factor so I used a couple of off-cuts to make the board to fit. I figured dual-use pedals would be the best use of space so I used:

Harley Benton PowerPlant tuner - a tuner and power supply in one! Brilliant! Harley Benton! 2x500ma and 6x100ma outputs. It comes with a clunky UK adaptor but I replaced it with another 9v 2A supply and it works fine. The display is really large but ugly.

Lovepedal Champ clone - Champ style breakup at any volume. The only single use pedal.

Digitech Nautila - chorus and flange, as I'm into my '80s sounds at the moment.

NU>X Atlantic = 3xReverbs and 3xDelays. Smashing sounding and great value.

I've realised that it is almost nautically themed (Atlantic, Nautila, Tuna), so I just need an overdrive that is named after a fish. I'm sure Way Huge must do one.

It's *tiny* - a foot wide by six inches deep and two inches high, including the wah pedal, which still feels perfectly normal despite being only about half the length of my foot. So small it fits in the pocket of my gig bag, with space to spare.

Sounds brilliant too. I've reprogrammed the switches so it's basically overdrive/distortion on/off, modulation on/off and delay on/off just like a smaller version of the ME-50, or a pedalboard.

Sheer genius

Howdy, Stranger!
