Yeah mate.. it’s a beginning at least. I’m going very slow. Still don’t have the “amp” to run pedals into… I’m negotiating with myself on that. And I need to look into my pedals to see what I actually want/need. I miss a tuner still… sooooo boring to have to buy a tuner….

Just buy a Boss TU-3W, Sonic Research, or a Peterson tuner and get it out of the way.

From all I know, the HB PSUs are genuine designs. Got one of their bigger ones (12 outs) myself and it's possibly one of the best bang-for-the-buck items in my setup(s). Reliable, affordable, super flexible.
I like that this one even has USB outs, something I pretty often need.

Whatever, should I build a new board again (which might happen, even if I'm pretty happy with the current one, I will defenitely consider one of those.

Good luck, it's the journey not the destination. I'll be rooting for you.:beer
 
I need to inform you guys that there's no pedalboard life without an RC Boost (or one of the countless clones, most of which are actually better).
Best other pedal's friend ever.
 
Sort of an aside, but I'm thinking about getting a "real" pedalboard. Currently, I have some carpet (similar to the kind Perfecto DeCastro had on a board he made on his YouTube page) on some wood that is about 46" x 18" or so. I don't need all of that space, but would likely need something around 42-43" x 14-15", per the Pedaltrain pedalboard planner app I used.

2 Mission Engineering EP-1 expression pedals, 1 Dunlop GCB95F Crybaby Classic (I swap it out from time to time, but they all have the same dimensions more or less), EMG ES-918 for externally powering my actives guitars, Boss ES-8 (not in yet, but have it ordered through Sweetwater and is supposed to be here in October or November), a couple distortion pedals (Marshall Guvnor, Shredmaster, Bluesbreaker, and Drivemaster currently), and a Boss GT1000 Core. I also have two Truetone CS12 power supplies that I'd likely stick on the bottom if they fit.

Is there anything besides the Pedaltrain Terra 42 ($299) or Temple Audio ($189, but an odd method of attaching stuff to the board) that could work?

Setting up shop. Wife fixed up that desk thing. I guess it will suffice as my old-fart desk… remember my grandpas and dads desks… they were insane, really old desks with wear and tear. Stuffed with all things imaginable. This will do.. I have my stuff there in the drawers.

If I decide the Terra 42" from Pedaltrain is too big, and can find the Harley Benton Spaceship 80 somewhere, I may give it a whirl. I'd love to see how well it powers things.

Well, the “power 80” is double the capacity than my “power 40”

It’s kinda… a lot really :D
  • 15 Isolated outputs to eliminate hum and noise: 4x 9 V / 100 mA, 4x 9 V / 250 mA, 3x 9 V / 500 mA and 4x 9/12/18 V - 500 mA
  • Non-isolated connections: 1x 9 V / 3 A for supplying effects with high current consumption (e.g. multi-effects pedals), 1x 24 V / 2 A, 1x USB-A for connecting or charging tablets and smartphones, 1x USB-C, 24 V output connection for additional power supplies
  • Total power: 48.6 W

Right. I just don't know if it would fit size wise, as well as how I'd get it to the USA. Palmer also sells the same thing, but Reverb doesn't seem to have either for sale.
 
Been a good weekend, played a few hours but didn’t want to overdo it kinda. Happy with the ACS1 choice, it’s a solid amp foundation I think.

So this is a first plan. Exchanged an old ditto for the new one and also got the TC Infinity sustainer (wich I have been wanting to try). Infinity works darn good and sucks in everything I send into it and sustains it. A cool thing is that it seems to be able to use its tone print reverbs when a sample is going, unlike other “hold reverb” pedals. I couldn’t find a cable for it but I will dive into it to see if I can customize the tone print to a cool reverb for my taste.

Carcosa will be on there for sure, just trying to see what madness it wants to be fed with. The Walrus ambient is indeed nice, great value there. Dreamy and lush. But I don’t think it will be a first in chain reverb.

Next project in the week is to see wich of my two old Boss overdrives goes on there. OD-3 and SD-2. Don’t think I’ll use both.

Beautiful!!!! Needs more pedals!!!! All drives!!!!! Moar!!!!!MOAR!!!!!!!!!!
 
Picked up a used and pretty cheap Catalinbread DLS MK3 as a birthday present for a close friend today (we have a tradition of gifting each other one pedal per year).

Needless to say, I had to give it a try when I got home. In Super Bass mode and on 18V, of course.

This thing is really cool as a preamp!

If it weren't for my Model T style pre, I'd probably have to get another for myself just as well.

Takes pedals like a real amp would, gets LOUD and "feels open" and "amp-like". Also, no noise issues at all.

Damn!

I can only recommend.
