Setup recommendation? FM9 and two EV2s

[unix-guy]

To your point yes they could still cut to spec! Why they dont would be interesting to know.

Just out of curiosity I did some math based on all of their size offerings and If you look at all of the sizes they have available width and depth wise it works out to almost a total of two 4'x 8' sheets of steel! From a manufacturing side of things it appears to be pretty efficient with their use of that material!

My guess would be that maybe they buy the pieces already shaped and finished... So cutting would require finishing after cutting.

But it's only a guess.

Have you tried the Pedaltrain Jr Max?
I was looking for exactly the same solution, and the temple boards where either too big or too small.
I've now bought the pedaltrain, and it fits perfectly.

Width wise that totally works!! But all that extra space up top, I think, would drive me insane (OCD) hahaha.

Actually it would help protect all of the connections!

I like your style.

Exactly.

Actually, I wish there were a bit more depth. Otherwise, where would my wireless receiver go?

It also doesn't look much more than the Temple boards...

Well... some hide them under the board! I like mine right where it's at!

Not sure where yours is at, but looking at @NV1C1OUS's picture, it looks like it would be hard to mount a receiver on the remaining space on that board.

I always mount my power supply and a wireless unit under the board. There is plenty of space left for that on the Jr max.

I also like the strip of extra space that is left on the top of that board, protects the cables a bit.
And I can always switch to bigger expression pedals if I'd like due to this. Two fractal EV1's also fit perfectly on the Jr max instead of the EV2.

Good luck with the search anyway !

You could always choose to go custom or resize an existing board.

Here is a quick picture with two EV1's

BTPA makes a patch panel specific for the pedaltrain boards that mounts on the front riser opening. I've got one on my Classic board (sorry, no pics) and it works pretty well. 10 spots to wire up your FM9 to. I'm using mine for pedals at the moment, waiting on my FM9 invite. If I go with a PT board for the 9, this will get recycled!

I just recently rebuilt my board and went to a Temple Audio Duo 34. Width wise it grew but depth wise shrank, Over all Im pretty happy with the result!

Nice. Room for the wireless, too.

Tell me about those right-angle XLRs. They look like something Georg L might sell.

Those look like the low profile XLRs I usually get from Redco.

They do.

What do you think of them? How long have you lived with them?

 

[Deadpool_25]

They're great. I've had them for over a year I think. No problems. They do what they're supposed to. They were easy enough to build as well.

I bought mine from Cable Techniques ! Probably the same connectors that Redco is selling. They are well made and have a positive feel once inserted. Easy enough to solder up but you are limited to a smaller cable, 3.4mm-6.0m. they also sell but it is a little pricey. The end caps are held in place with tiny grub screws and include the right size allen wrench. They also give you zip ties to install on the cable for strain relief, effective but could be a weak point depending on the application.

Thanks. Good to know.
