A gift for my fellow QCers…I designed a pedal board for my setup.
It can be printed on a 3D printer.
I used stock lumber from Home Depot, Mahogany… Make it as wide as you want.
If anyone wants the .stl file, hit me up at MoonDogLLC@gmail.com and I will send it over for you to print…Please don’t distribute…
Thanks.

This is exactly what I want to build! The Hi5 is enough power for the QC and the Shure, or does one need it’s own power supply?
I was looking at building two of these, so I have a backup on the road that’s identical. Does anyone know if you could fit two of these rigs into a Pelican 1560? Or if not, what’s a case you guys would recommend for two rigs like this? Only variable would be a dunlop mini expression instead of the Shure Wireless on one board, and a wireless on the other.
You might get it to work alone… think you might be limited based on the QC 3 amp requirements. I would suggest adding a Crux to the set up. That’s what I did.
QC is in stomp mode. And the midi controller controls 4 scenes (4 different amps like clean, crunch, brit and cali). Hotone controls reverb mix, and after pressing switch adds octave. In heel position lower, and toe position lower and higher octaves. I assigned such double tasks for other presets like whammy, delay etc. So useful on stage.
And this is the bottom ;
what is that midi foot switch used for ?
I currently use it to switch the tuner on/off. I’ve used it at times to toggle Gig View, as a tap tempo or for Scenes/Stomp switching.
I’m planning on replacing it with a Disaster Area MicroDMC at some point, so I can use one switch to toggle Scenes/Stomp (and toggle Gig View on long press) and the other for toggling the tuner.
Love my boss expression as well what size temple board is that?
It’s not my board but I have the same one and it’s a Temple Audio Duo24.
Hi There, This looks perfect. Did you get this from retail or direct from Soulman?
Thank you

Is the DG-02 something that you made?
Been through a few iterations, but I can’t imagine it’ll be changing from this for a while. The board itself is a Rockboard 4.2. I’m using the mod 2 patchbay for the MIDI in, FX loop (more below), and USB connection. All powered by the Cioks DC7 and Cioks Crux for the QC. As you can see in the bottom pic, it’s at max capacity 
The basic signal path is Shure receiver (either by wireless or direct into the pedal) > volume pedal > input 1 of QC > stereo fx loop sends into the patchbay (using a couple of very short patch cables acting as jumpers for the external inputs, I wanted to have access to the loop in case I want to try different pedals or whatever without rewiring) > out of patchbay to HX Stomp > BigSky > QC fx loop stereo returns.
Tuner is always on connected to the direct out of the volume pedal. It’s so much more simple this way than either tuning with the wireless receiver or the QC. All of the pedals with computer editors (QC, HX, BS, and MC6 Pro) are going through a USB hub on the bottom that goes through the patchbay to make it a single cable to connect everything to my computer.
An issue I ran into was not being able to hit the bottom row of the QC switches because the MC6 Pro was a bit too tall, so I sandwiched a couple of pieces of 1/4" thick acryllic together under the QC to make a riser. Should be visible in the one pic. It’s worked out really well. One other thing that was an issue (for me personally) is that the patchbay doesn’t have a switch for when the IEC power is plugged in. I wired in my own switch that I mounted to the existing hole on the board. If you’re going to get one of these patchbays, I highly recommend doing the same, it’s so much better having a switch so I can leave it plugged in without the whole thing being on.
Some really great ideas there, thank you! I especially love the idea of incorporating a patch bay into the effects loop so you can insert additional pedals.
When do you find yourself using the HX Stomp for something versus the QC?
Thanks! I typically use it for post amp effects. I prefer to have different types of delays with different parameter values for different songs and such. I know it can be done with scenes, but I prefer to not change a ton of parameters of blocks. Parameter changes tied to scenes is just a little too tightly coupled for my liking. I also think some of the chorus and mod effects are just a bit more refined, and there are just a wider range of choices. I really like the effects in the QC, the HX just has more. And the advantage of a bit extra dsp, which I honestly typically don’t need, it’s just nice. It’s definitely overkill, and I’m fully aware just to be clear, but that’s just part of our gear problem, eh?
Appreciate the info, thanks! Definitely no criticism from me. One of my great disappointments as a bassist is that shortly after I bought my QC, Ian Martin Allison came out with a big library of bass presets for the HX Stomp. I’ve seriously considered picking one up so that I could load his presets and play around with them. I suspect that I could probably duplicate any that I like in the QC, but running them in one of the loops would be the other way to do it. I have room on the board.
(He does say that he might release a set of presets for the QC, which would be awesome. He’ll probably do that right after I pick up a Stomp 
)
Great to see that you have the electronics loop controller, not very common, but really good. I was thinking about putting mine under the board just like you did.
After my wireless dying on me after seven years of abuse, I had a rejig of the Solo18
Et voila, tube preamp/compression into the QC 
Cioks Hi5 for the QC, Cioks AC10 for the EHX (pesky AC needs).
My all acoustic board… Power supply is Alliexpress 15 dollar 12V, 8A with reverse polarity adaptor and it powers up TC Helicon for voice and QC for guitar with multiple pickups.
Hi guys,
I’m a very new lucky owner of a QC and I’m wondering why most of the people uses external supply like Cioks when there is only QC and expression pedal on the board ?
For example the Dunlop DVP5 doesn’t need power so, I can just use the original power supply of the QC right ?
Thanks a lot !
I think its mostly that people dislike the PSU that comes with it and feel like it is somewhat flimsy. It also means that you connect/disconnect a kettle/IEC lead which is way more sturdy.
In case of the post above there is also the TC Helicon for voice on there
