What kind of pedalboard are you guys using?

Is the best I used. The only think is that you need good AC power.

I should the Seymour Duncan, I don’t liked

Are you saying you tried the Seymour Duncan powerstage? Why did you not like that?

Hi all

Just bought a QC.

I have a walrus audio ACS1 and Canvas stereo di

Just a quick question as I see people using the canvas di after the quad cortex

My question is why not directly from the QC di output

Is there any pros and cons ? Thanks in advance

My board still work in progress

I feel like it might be redundant to run the QC xlr outs into the canvas… maybe if you put other pedals after the QC in your chain it might help after those…. Not sure

What patch bays do you use on the sides?

Hey man, what are those XLR plugs that go straight into the QC? Veeery small :smiley:

Those are by Cable Techniques.
Cable Techniques | Low-Profile Audio Connectors & Audio Cables
I believe I got them from RedCo Audio.
3 Pin XLR Connectors | Redco Audio

They are a bit of a pain to solder due to the size but if you are patient and have good soldering technique, they are manageable.

Hi Golw,
Which quickmount did you use to put your QC on the Rockstand Tres 3.1?
I’m considering buying this Pedalboard but can’t figure out how it works with multi and big pedals?
Thks

I’ve used velcro. What’s great about this board is that the ventilation slots don’t get covered.

Latest iteration of the board. Although I can’t say I’m wild about it. Y’all mind if I outsource the layout optimisation to the community, here?

The board is a Rockboard Tres 3.1. The turner serves as my input (I’m right handed). The Microcosm runs stereo into the sends and returns of the QC. The MC3 provides MIDI Clock and preset triggers to both the QC and Microcosm.

My concerns:

  • It’s just not a good looking layout
  • I’m mostly on public transport (with a failing back), it’s important to keep the board compact
  • Worried that the SP400 running from the tuner out to QC will eventually scratch up the side of the Microcosm
  • Given the height of the MC3, the Microcosm can be difficult on stage to stomp when necessary and record loops
  • Thought about placing the Microcosm closer to the lower edge with the MC3 above it, but then I’m operating the MC3 more often and wonder if it’s going to be more difficult to press if it’s placed closer to the upper edge

Appreciate any kind advice, cheers.

I don’t think it’s a bad layout. Looks very functional. One thing I’ve done to help with access is to place a riser under the microcosm to raise it up slightly so you can access the switches easier without triggering the MC3. I’ve used this company before and they make quality stuff.

Just a little. It goes a long way. Doesn’t help the aesthetics but much more functional. As long as the case you have for the board has clearance.

Shucks, that’s a really great idea. Trouble is the chap doesn’t deliver outside of the US. Might think about a DIY solution regardless. Thanks!

How did you connect the SoulPress to the QC ? I can’t. make mine work …

In my opinion, it may be best to go with a Rockboard Tres 3.3 for the additional length, then to place the Microcosm to the right of the MC3, the tuner above the MC3. You would have a blank space, but you would at least put the pedals you may be actually stomping on or interacting with mid-song closer to the front for easier usability.

Here I put the 3.1 right under the 3.3 to show the size difference but also the space gain you would achieve.

Great choice on the Peterson tuner, and great choice on the black Microcosm!

Emerson Custom Pedalboard 24x18

I just finished wiring it up the other day. Currently working on getting the QC and H9 to communicate either through MIDI or even just the Send/Return on the QC. It’s been a struggle and I will continue to research this forum and also the Eventide forum for a solution.
