what's your power supply / pedalboard of choice ?
I‘m using one SOL für a Temple Audio Solo 18 pedalboard with an Quad Cortex and an expression pedal and another one for a small rockboard pedalboard with reverb, delay, overdrive and tuner. Really reliable power supply!
@@jazzFABRYk totally agree, got 3 on 3 separate boards, been rock solid
Brilliant. Thanks. I'm in the process of putting together a Nano board, so this video was really helpful!
Wanted to let you know, if you ever decided to expand your pedal board past 5 pedals, you can daisy chain two to three pedals on one outlet. Check out much the pedal draws for power, they all will tell you. But for I’d say 85% of 9v pedals, you can safely daisy chain 3 on one outlet and still have some power left over. I currently have 14 pedals running off one Sol rn lol
@@withinthrall1445 good points, i usually do this with tuner + drive pedals as they're usually relatively low draw, and on smaller pedalboards there's only space for so much 😄 14 must be a record lol
My Nano board WANTS that power supply but I must first console my sobbing wallet 🙃And thanks for the EBS patch cable advice in the other video, they are exactly what I was looking for! Cheers!
i know what you mean, they're not exactly cheap,
to be fair there are other options depending on what pedals you run on the board (if they don't need as much mA), the cioks however i feel is the best low profile pro power supply, the wallet just needs to suffer a bit 😄
Great video👌
thanks 🙏
Great vid bro! Can I ask if you drilled the holes yourself?
thanks, i didn't drill any holes, i bought the pedalboard nano used, i think the previous owner also had a cioks grip on there, so those holes things are from tightening the GRIP to the pedaltrain
@@paulbradshawguitar Cheers for the reply - I'm glad I don't have to do any drilling 🤓
I even have the SOL for a larger pedalboard with 9 pedals and 2 pedals require 600ma. Instead of EBS cable check out the ones from Rockboard, half the price.
very cool, what are the 600ma pedals? wireless unit, or something from eventide?
i have the SOL on a metro 20 board, with i think 8 pedals on there, works really well, daisy chain for Overdrive pedals tuner and even my dd-6 on there
the rockboard ones are cool too but the flat connector is quite a bit longer, depending on how your pedal connects (e. g on the top) it isn't always ideal
thanks for the great video. have you also considered strymon ojai, and if so why did you choose this one? is it thinner? also, is there space for the main power cable to exit underneath the pedalboard?
thanks 🙏I did consider the ojai as well, but i prefer having an IEC style connector to the actual power supply instead of an additional power supply (an additional power supply is something extra to pack and use) , the cioks is also thinner i believe and can supply up to 660ma per output at 9v in case that's important
the supplied IEC cable for the Cioks is a smaller compact IEC connector, which also saves space, there's enough room for the cable exiting the pedalboard even on a board like the nano/low profile , I'm also using a SOL on my templeboard duo 24 (my Fractal FM3 board with 2-3 extra pedals/wireless unit)
i think walrus have some power supplies as well that are extremely thin, but again with an external additional power supply
@@paulbradshawguitar did you drill the holes for the cioks grip
@@tendingtropic7778 i didn't, they aren't holes per say, but the previous owner of the nano board ( i bought it used) also had a cioks grip, and he really tightened the bolts hard, which makes it look that way
there aren't any holes made, they're just flat screws that tighten onto the surface of the pedaltrain through an allen key
Would this work a lot smoother on a metro 24?
i have the SOL and cioks grip on a Metro 20 so should be fine on a Metro 24 as well
Thanks for the info! 🤘🏻
What is that tiny little pedal you have on the board?
that's an mxr tap tempo switch, which i use with the flashback delay
im so confused- I have all these items and yet they do not fit under the board?? i have the same nano as you, and SOL and the grip (i guess v2.0?) and theres like a clear 1-2mm variance, theres no way I would force this thing under there. The instructions say its "not compatible with smallest nano", and yet you have made it work somehow?? wth cioks
it's a tight fit but definitely works for me, it's a grip v 2.0 with the SOL
I'm not sure how old the pedaltrain nano i have is but the dimensions shouldn't have changed since
maybe the grip v 2 needs more tightening onto the cioks sol?
If it helps, I contacted Cioks support to see if sol and grip will fit nano, and they said not all pedaltrain nanos meet the nanos listed specs for spacing between rails. So that explains why it fits in some and not others.
@@scottyboy11001 thanks for the comment, definitely explains things, a few millimetres can make all the difference, i had no issue installing it on my board in any case
@@paulbradshawguitar might you be able to provide a mm measurement of the gap on yours? I'm about to pull the trigger on a Sol+Grip and this might be a dealbreaker. My Nano seems to have 88mm to work with.
Also I find myself wondering whether the ambient temperature has an impact here.
@@deeemess sure thing
it looks to be around 8.9 cm on one end, and goes to around 8.85 - 8.9 cm
