A simple solution, be it one with a high upfront cost, could be to replace your existing power supply with one that already has a USB charge port on it, such as the CIOKS DC7. Though it's pricey, you could sell whatever you existing supply is to claw back some funds, and the CIOKS is pretty amazing - a worthwhile investment. At least with this approach you know that it was designed for that application and you're not putting any strain on the supply, or injecting noise etc. into the signal chain.

I considered the same, but the depth issue is actually very minor… it’s still effectively one rail of a pedaltrain- this just overhangs the space between rails more. Compared to have much space 12 loops worth of QM’s would be… it’s tiny. And I love the QM! This is just super good for the size.

On a moderate budget, and fairly easy to obtain, I’d recommend the MXR that you highlighted, or the EBS Unichorus. If you want to spend a bit more, or don’t mind importing, the Providence Anadime Bass Chorus (make sure you get the bass version) is amazing, as is the Horrothia Type One.

I really like this. It’s like a little slice of the Microcosm (and similar pedals) boiled down to its simplest form. I could absolutely make use of this on my ambient board.

Subdecay Echobox is an awesome delay. Used to be my absolute favourite. The modulation sounds in it are lush.

An old favourite, updated with some modern additions, including a much needed clean blend.

Starting to rethink my board…

I got to AB a Sub Phatty against my 25 a few months back. Aside the drive section, there wasn’t much to report back on, which is a testament to how well they produced the Subsequent. The Phatty has a look to it that’s really awesome though!

Oh the irony - I posted this about on page 1 of the thread about how the Moog EP-3 wouldn't play with the Eventide. Guess what the second pedal I ever used that won't work with the EP-3 is. Yeah, you guessed it, the XS-1! It somehow tricks the pedal, and in heel position it thinks it's a control switch and does some weird stuff and flicks the LED to green, then when you push it, it takes about a quarter swell before it flicks to expression pedal mode. Also, with the EP-3 connected, when you toggle the XS1 on and off, it always returns to toe down position (knob setting, as if there was no expression connected) until you move it. I have other expression pedals (it's fine with my Dunlop), but that's super frustrating as I use the Moog on my board with an expression pedal splitter. URGH. UDATE: Via the expression pedal splitter, the issue is solved. The electronics in that seem to offset whatever issue the Moog EP-3 causes to the XS-1... so the issue is now much less of an issue. Win!

I’ve ordered an XS-1, despite my gut telling me to go for the 100. Features wise, the 100 is simply the better pedal, and the point above about the 1 + expression being pretty much the same real estate is valid. However, that last point is mitigated as I use a 4-way expression pedal splitter (so one expression for 4 pedals). Given that I expect to be using this predominantly in a single way, and am pretty used to live knob twiddling, I think I can get away with the 1. If I’m wrong, but it performs as I hope, then I’ll upgrade to the 100 in time.

Sold Tom a pedal, great comms, quick payment, and super friendly. Couldn't ask for more!

Don't stop now... I have loads more toys up for grabs! Thanks!

Using the term ‘OC2’ more than 10 times in one post seems to be good for getting ‘likes’… that’s gotta be some form of SEO at work, right! This is MASSIVELY off topic (sorry everyone!), but this is my actual fav TED talk of all time… I first saw this when I was studying for my hypnotherapy diploma, and it’s as great today as it was back then…
