Can you recommend a power supply that is capable to power the AM4 and a Boss Polyshifter XS-1?

I'm using a Temple Audio CIOKS Hi5 mod powering the pedals (which includes an XS-1) with a CIOKS Crux powering the AM4.

I have both plus a couple of other pedals powered by a Walrus Canvas HP. It has a dedicated input for higher amperage units like the AM4, it works flawlessly.

So far it looks like zero users are putting the AM-4 in a rack and controlling it with a midi foot switch.
If you are, any photos would be great.

What would you prefer?
AM4 and Boss XS-1 or FM3?

That's a decision you'd have to make.

I would check out effect lists between the two and see if one does enough for you over the other etc.

This is my first go round until I figure what I really want/need. The board is the wrong size so once I settle on a final version I will get the correct size board. Want to keep it as compact as possible.

I have an FX3 and went with the AM4 because it seems like this is where all the units are eventually going to go. Obviously it’d be great to have the pitch block in the AM4, but since I had an old temple duo 17 board laying around I decided to use the XS-1 with a Boss FS-7 switch going into the input of the AM4. I tried it in the insert but had some weird latency things happening.

Probably because the insert is at the end of the 4 effect blocks and pitch stuff is usually best for the front of the chain for tracking reasons.

Could be, ultimately it makes more sense going in unadulterated.

Nice! I thought my board was tight. Do you havie any issues getting to buttons?

I would definitely have trouble balancing to reach the pedals on the back row, mainly the UAFX pedal. However, since UAD updated the pedals to have midi functionality, i can control everything from the MC6 Pro on the first row. The Fractal pedals are easy to get to as well. So the only pedal that still presents a challenge is the Tumnus.

Small, compact and powerful setup. love it

No board per se has I want to be able to grab the AM4 by itself and bring it to practice, but the setup I am running at the house.

What you can barely see off to the left is the hotone ampero control midi control which works so easily with the AM4. I have the AM4 set on scene mode, with the hotone allowing me to navigate between presents, bring up the tuner, and set the temp.

HX one for when I need pitch shifting. I find simple pitch monophonic pitch shifting works great for high gain stuff but will switch to there polyphonic stuff depending on the song and artifacts. Otherwise it is an extra block when I'm not using it for pitch shifting.

Tempted to get an HX One as well for my AM4, but hoping FA will add the pitch block due to popular demand.

I've thought about it just to get the Retro Reel...although that's mainly just me being incredibly lazy, and not trying to figure out how to do it on Fractal gear.
