Nice! Those EV1s are huge!
Flexibility really. Just in case I want to plug in an iPad, phone, or laptop with me on stage and power it. Completely unnecessary but sort of "future proofing" if my needs change since I had the space in the modules anyway. Underneath I wanted USB to power the LED strip, so I bought a small-ish 67W Anker brick that has a USB-A for the LED's and an extra USB-C PD slot for the module/passthrough.
Yeah...at one point I had one EV-1 and an older Mission exp pedal on there...I found that at home barefoot I was fine but on stage with shoes my big-@$$ feet (not to mention the "enthusiasm" that comes with playing live) I would accidentally hit the other one, so I upgraded to 2 x EV-1 and have found fewer issues.
I wonder if two EV2s and my Mission wah controller would fit on the 34, though, looking at your photo....
Have you guys checked out https://pedalplayground.com/
No worries, sorry didn't realise you wasn't near a computer. Found the pic and they do all fit!
Been thinking of putting the FM9 and 3 of 4 pedals on one board with the Expression IO to do my extra buttons, and putting the FC6 and the 4th pedal on the 17" board I have hanging around....
I guess it depends if you're gigging at the moment and need everything together. Makes sense if you are. For me I had the FM9 and my exp pedals etc on a Duo 34. Ended up selling the FM9 and going with the FM3. I then realised I missed the FM9 too much and decided to sell the FM3 and put myself on the waitlist again for the new MKII.Been thinking of putting the FM9 and 3 of 4 pedals on one board with the Expression IO to do my extra buttons, and putting the FC6 and the 4th pedal on the 17" board I have hanging around....
Current set-up:
I think it makes more sense for me to put the first 3 pedals that I use all the time on the FM9 board, and put the #4 pedal (which controls the delay wetness in my presets' solo stuff) on the separate board with the FC6, and consolidate the extra buttons from the Expression IO which I use most also onto the FM9 board. The FC6 board could then hold the "nice to have" extras like effects channel switches and such from Layout 4 - which I could probably set up to be visible on the FM9 with a little effort in setting up a switch for it....
Shitty camera optics. The light bounced off of something in the lens.Yeah I don’t know how it happened but the camera did that. I took two, actually. Both did it to varying degrees. I’ve dropped this phone a lot… maybe I knocked a glass loose
I also noticed… it’s backwards.
Super clean! I love it. I have a Trailer Trash that I've had forever... and the 1/4" jack threads have stripped and are hanging loose. This system looks so much smarter.This thing is absolutely perfect, got it mounted directly to the Temple Duo this weekend. The punchouts matched up with the side-screws on the FM9 perfectly with no mods required.
Looks great! I use the same momentary switch and I didn't like how high it was on the board so I drilled a hole in the Duo and put the box under the board with just the shaft coming thru with the nut on top holding it all in place. it also hides the wiring under the board. I put the same switch topper on it as I have on all the FM9 switches. I run the EV-2's but we have a very similar set-up. Great job!!
My FM9 arrives today. I'll be rebuilding my rig (currently a Suhr PT100 + Trailor Trash + MasterMind PCB/10 + some pedals. Your set up is exactly what I want to do with my new FM9 based rig. How do you like the Fender ToneMaster FRFRs?
Does the Sennheiser have antennas? If so, how are you dealing with that?
What are you using for the power cable connection coming from the back of the FM? That looks like a right angle plug ?
The power setup is:
