This looks great!

Looks great! Really cool features. What’s the price going to be?

Thanks mate! It gave me many a headache planning it out and putting the bloody thing together, so glad to see it’s appreciated by someone else 😅 Definitely happy with what i’ve managed to cram on to it. Bit heavier than I thought it would be, but that’s not really a problem as it will eventually go in a wheeled peli case anyway. The Morningstar stuff is phenomenal. That ML10X looks awesome. Looking forward to snagging one of them at some point!

Another change up from me. Swiss army essentials board that can (and will, eventually) link up to the Schmidt Array studio board with everything else on it. The plan is to acquire a Morningstar ML10X for the Schmidt Array, as I already own the MC8. That will link up with this board via the magic of TRS/MIDI giving me total preset/patch control of every pedal on each board. Bass > Morningstar ML5 > HX Stomp (with Bright Onion Aux switch) > Khan VTDI ML5 Loops are as follows: A > Peterson StrobostompHD B > Aguilar Octamizer C > Origin Cali76 (running at 18v) D > Hamstead Subspace E > TRS splitter cable MIDI Chain - Out of HX Stomp > IN of ML5 (Eventually the MIDI IN of HX Stomp will connect to the MOD Patchbay - More on that later) The MOD Patchbay on the Rockboard is where my dual board fantasy comes to life 🤣i All are TRS inputs/outputs so this makes a lot of what I want to do possible, with just a few cables. A - Input from Bass to the ML5 B - Will eventually run a TRS to 5 Pin MIDI cable to the MIDI In of the Stomp. There will be a corresponding cable on the Schmidt too, which is connected to the MC8/ML10X combo so when the boards are connected with a TRS cable, it will allow the MC8 to talk to the ML10X, ML5 and HX Stomp, yet when disconnected the Stomp will just control the ML5. C - Haven't decided what this will be used for yet D - Connects to the TRS Splitter cable in Loop E of the ML5. Another of these on the TRS Patchbay on the Schmidt Array will allow me to patch the whole Schmidt Array board into loop E of the ML5 with a single TRS cable. E - 1/4" Out from the Khan VTDI to Amp XLR - DI Out from the Khan VTDI to Mixing Desk Here is a pic of the underside for good measure. Power is split at the MOD, one goes direct to the Khan, the other to the Generator. Distributor is powering the Temple Audio USB Adaptor, the GigRig Doubler for the Cali76, the Isolator and the Stomp (just awaiting a GigRig Mr Universe to power the Stomp, and we're good to go!) and the Isolator is powering the Subspace, Octamizer, ML5 and StrobostompHD. Distributor also has a spare 9v out hanging loose (seen hanging from the bottom of the board in this pic) which charges my Bluetooth footswitch for my iPad.

Could you not use one of these on one of the 9v outputs? https://www.hotroxuk.com/gigrig-supa-nova-9-12v-dc-adapter.html?utm_source=GoogleBase&utm_medium=organic&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9ZGYBhCEARIsAEUXITWMZsG-xwcn7q05Bhsfxw-g27rfnWFeHeclKBBb7cSOYoMjdXA6-1caAuzGEALw_wcB

Another change up for me. First gig with it tomorrow. LS-2 acting as a tuner mute with Turbo Tuner on send of B Octamizer>Cali76>BassRig>Khan VTDI Cali76 running at 18V. IEC splitter sends power to the Khan and the GigRig Generator which powers the rest of the pedals. Khan’s DI out goes to the Rockboard XLR patch input, and the Thru jack goes to one of the 1/4” outputs if I need to use an amp. Temple USB adaptor for charging my iPad, and a spare 9v out (hanging loose at the bottom of the 2nd pic) for charging my bluetooth page turner. BassRig will pretty much just be an OD/Amp sim, but also function as a backup DI if needed.

What’s the price on these?

I've already got the ML5 and an MC8....Maybe if I sell the ML5, one of these IS in my future after all! 🤣

Was waiting for this for ages. Scaled my board down now so it's of little to no use 🤣 Still looks like it will do everything I've wanted in a small loop switcher! What are your initial impressions of it?

Nice! I notice you've assigned one of the Stomp's switches to the loop that the SY-1 is in. Personally, I'd leave the loop on all the time, and turn the SY-1 on and off with it's own switch, thereby freeing up one of the Stomp's switches.

I also kept a dedicated octave pedal on the board as I found the octave in the Stomp to be lacking. However I didn't do much experimenting, as I had the Octamizer there already and decided it was easier to use that than hunt through every setting in the Stomp to try and find something as good as what I already had 🤣

My Stomp is happily powered from a GigRig Generator - as well as the rest of my board!

I've been thinking myself that it's a little tight for me. I've got everything I need on there really, but it's always tempting to add more! Just SLIGHTLY bigger would be perfect I think (famous last words) I also want to try and fit it into my Peli Storm IM2500 (which it does perfectly, the 3.1 would be too big) so that's another reason to keep to this size. Dreaming of the day when I can walk into the gig with the bass on my back, 4u shallow rack in one hand (wireless iems, wireless bass, power condititioner and distribution) and a Peli case on wheels in the other with my pedalboard, IEMs, Backbeats, iPad etc!

Nice to see another Schmidt Array! Nice board
