Share your Nano Cortex pedalboard

Here’s mine. Straight into (or via the Ditto) into an FR-12.

That’s my Kemper Player board behind it. Both work for different things.

Volume pedal goes into the NC and the MC6 connected via USBC. Expression connected via TRS. Rig is powered by a Cioks Sol.

Well for me, the whole idea behind buying a Nano Cortex was not to carry a pedal board to all my gigs. I want to use NC with a DVP4 X-Mini and may be a midi controller. So it will be a very small board or may be just an NC with DVP4. However, let me share my home pedal board rig with stereo amps..

Well, this is very similar to what I have in mind to get a smaller rig.
Would it be possible to use one mini expression like a dunlop DVP4 → MC6-Pro → NC and change it to Volume and Wah thru MIDI? That is my plan and I’m thinking it should be possible.
Maybe something like this?:

My knowledge of MIDI is very limited but I think that should work. The MC6 Pro is such a comprehensive piece of gear and its capabilities are nearly limitless.

I thought so too. I am interested in the omniports of MC6 Pro as well. I know you can use it for extra TRS MIDI but I wonder if you could use it like a pedal loop switcher as well. It would be cool to connect a drive in to an omniport and take it out of the signal chain completely when unused. There are switchers that do that like GigRig G3 Atom but they are quite expensive and much bigger.

I’ve joined the club. Been using Waves GTR since like 09 and I’ve finally joined the modern age. It is good.

This is my first ever pedal board and will likely change rapidly.

That’s MC8 Pro right? I was thinking about MC6-Pro but now I’m thinking should I get MC8 for extra 2 buttons?

Yep! I think the mc6 pro would be fine, but it depends on your usage. I know it’s hard without the device, but you could try drawing a picture or making a list of everything that you might want on one page or i.e. accessible without any paging and make your decision that way. I knew I wanted at least the 5 fx blocks and the amp immediately accessible plus a tap and a tuner without using the press and hold on the NC itself. It’s not shown in the picture but that’s what I swapped the preset up down with.

Was the wait to long on MC8? MC6 Pro shows available now but, MC8 Pro shows out of stock.

I think I got lucky. Just as I was in the market, I put my email to get notified of new stock. Got the email within a day or something and purchased it. Next day I checked it was out of stock again. No idea what the wait time would be. You might get lucky checking reverb as well.

To those wondering about the MC6 or 8 decision I have an MC6 Pro. I saw a setup using an MC8 Pro and regretted nit getting one, but then remembered I had a spare BOSS FS-7 double footswitch. Plug it into an Omniport and you get all the functionalityof an MC8 but without one display.

I boight this one. Seems pretty good. Less money than the Morningstar. But also less support cause they’re new. https://judahs.io

Sweet! Post a pic when you get it set up and running!

Well, it shows as $389 in their shop page. I thought Morningstar was $349?
Thanks for sharing.

The MC 8 Pro is more I think

Just getting started, could do with a deeper board for power supply.

It’s my backup board. I added a few older pedals to free up a slot (OB1) and to add a little warmth (Sunset). The Paint Audio midi controller is pretty cool to access more presets live. Also a pic of my main board. I missed out on the Temple Audio electric blue end caps, so a little Rustoleum Oasis Blue spray did the trick! :slight_smile:

How do you like the paint audio controller?

For the price it looks hard to beat. Not sure if it has all the features of the more expensive competitors, hovever.

Hi! Yeah, it’s been working very well. Easy to program too. The Dunlop expression pedal works very well with it. I got the wireless version so sometimes I leave the nano back stage and just have the MIDI Captain and pedal on stage. Works good as long as it doesn’t get too far away.
