    just hinges that come apart when you open it fully. so you'd just have the bottom in front of you.

    glad i found this in time then. i think these are the guys that actually make them and it's significantly cheaper.

    would you suggest large or wide? with 8 pedals as of now

    i'd just attach the power bar with velcro. probably the easiest.

    as for the large or wide, lay out the pedals the way you like them and measure the rectangle leaving a bit for expansion of your collection. if you like having two rows, i'd go with the deeper one but otherwise i think 8 would fit across the wider one. there is still enough room to put utility stuff like the tuner and whatnot in a second row.

    i'd love to see stone's board.

    Stone's board is fucked up... no distortion, no overdrive, except the on-board channel switching of the Trentino. He just uses a selection of compressors for his overdrive, with a bit of help from the Trentino/Savage combo. That guy is totally a flavor of the month kinda guy... always changing it up...
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    well tell me how you would like it sent to you...its actually from the 2000 tour so hhe has the sonic distortion, tsdx and the 69 fulltone amongst many other goodies...


    where do i put the damn cables for the power strip? do i rig it through awhole so its not bulging out of the case to plug it in or whats up with that? how should i go about doing it?

    Did that make any sense? i just havent really looked at a board like this up close. not sure how i go about "installing" the power strip as in...the outlet and where that goes, is there a hole or somthing i can rig it through? im gonna go to my nerest guitar shop today and talk with someone about running the daisy chain..or whatever works best...

    i think i would just tuck the cord in to close the case. shouldn't be a problem. i'll try to find a picture of what i mean.

    as for the power supply, i'm beginning to think using the godlyke might be a better option. still cheap and more stable. apparently, daisy chaining off the TU-2 may cause problems if you're running too many pedals. the issue if whether the power supply running the TU-2 can supply enough current.

    i just don't know. i've daisy chained quite a few off my NS-2 and never had a problem but i've never had them all on at once either.

    good idea to talk to someone locally too.

    sorry i didn't see this sooner, i wasn't around later last night and got to work late today.

    $70

    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    I linked that on another post... it always looked pretty good. If I was in the market, that's what I'd get. MFG site:
    http://www.jimdunlop.com/site/products/electronics/mxr/products/dcb10.html

    It's got power conditioning, and it's variable between 100 and 240 volts (for int'l use). Of course, I've only got a tubescreamer (will have two) and a pair of MXR toys.

    3 18v outs kind of sell me. Direct Drive and Keeley Rat2 running at 18V *grinchlike smile* Anybody want a powerall?

    i'm putting my vote behind the dc brick at this point as well.

    still doesn't power line6 pedals but that's not an issue for 62.

    Ok so maybe I keep the Powerall and get a DC Brick.

    What voltage does the Line 6 stuff run at?

    well, it runs 4 'C' battery which would be 6V but it's high current or something. normal 9VDC adapters don't work. 2.5mm jack too.

    Probably high amperage... that does suck, though. I wonder how Mike has his powered up? Of course, when you're McCready... Shit, when you can get Trentino to build you a custom amp, you can do anything...

    Yo!

    Line 6 is 9VoltsAC or 9VAC.

    Check out the adaptors here. My powerall will run them it's reverse polarity.
