I wish there was some sort of bottom plate on them, so your cabling underneath the board doesn't have to be nicely mounted...especially when Temple Audio does not provide any solution for cable routing.
Ahh; it's not perfect and I am sure it would be MUCH worse with individual pedals but this with the FM9, GM800 and my TC Polytune 3 is not too bad? I might need another zip tie or two but I have never been super OCD on my wiring because I change stuff up wayyyyyyyyyy too much

Jk
I'm on my expression pedal more than Kirk is on his wah in a given night. So I kinda have room to be picky I think
It has been solid over this last run of gigging though.
I was gonna buy one, but they're silly cunt expensive over here. So I went with the Warwick Rockboard series, and tbh.... I've got quite a few of them, so probably should've just got the Temple in the end anyway.
My main one is a Quad 4.4, but they also do the 4.3 - which oddly, is a little bit longer and is the same length as the Templ Duo 34.
I know that feeling! I have like 8 boards at home
For me none of the Temple boards are quite right. I have a Trio 21, which is a good size for a big 3-row board. But I wish there was a Duo 21 because the Duo 24 is wider than I'd like.
If Temple boards are often too narrow or too wide, then Rockboard has the opposite problem where they are not deep enough (or too deep) even though the width is right. Mainly for "all top jacks" pedals.
I have found that NOTHING is perfect in any of this. I'd like a wider, deeper Nux or a shorter TA board but all things considered; both of these are good choices for my purposes
I also love the idea behind it but the price is very dear. It’s not exactly Schmidt Array money but I’m thinking if you’re going to spend Temple money, Schmidt Array is only a small step above.
Eh the Schmidt in the same size (albeit with a hard shell BBQ grill case, 2 usb lights and 2 IEC taps) is $843 (currently) before shipping/whatever other duties they might charge vs. the $129 the Temple Board I have. It still adds up (100%) once you start adding accessories but that Schmidt is still quite a jump up I'd say.
I originally trade an OG FM9 for an FM3, FC6, the TA board with the IEC and XLR modules and a 40 pound flight case I'll never use. I thought I kind of screwed myself and maybe I did but if you do the math; it's pretty much a wash in that regard. The board (before the 1/4 module I added) would run around $310. Not cheap but for trade value purposes; I could live with it.
I have been looking at a few other modules. The power amp module is "buy from Amazon to see how it really shakes out
(then return it)". It's $229 which is too much unless it's actually a killer piece. The module I probably
will pickup is the Ciocks pedal power module. Depending on how much the power supply for it is (dumb?). It's $169 is a little steep-ish but I am already slyly looking at moving my pedal power to the Nux board anyway.
That's like $660-ish all in? If I wanted to build something myself; I certainly could. It wouldn't look near as nice as this I don't think. Especially given my "fab skills"
