Hi all, I'm reading this forum everyday and just subscribed this week to ask a question on lava cables. Well now I'm in, why not showing you one of the best creation I've build in my life.
Why : This mini pedalboard is a proof that you can fit big projects in small space. Why I needed so small? Because it's my vocal and acoustic pedalboard I'm bringing it in small gig when I'm alone without my band. It fits perfect near the mic stand where I can easily press the harmony button while singing.
*I also use this with my band and use the loop on the tonebone to go to my big pedalbaord with all of the effects.
Power : Voodoolab ISO-5 : Yes you can fit it under with some tricks. First you need a dremel to cut the metal and take out the cables and put the ac plug in the pedal train directly (see pictures). You will need, and this is very important otherwise it'll be really frustrating, to make the cables longer with cable and shrink tube it's perfect!
*Tonebone works perfectly on the 18v 100mah outlet on the ISO-5.
Harmony G is on the 12 volt outlet.
MXR els are on 9 volte outlet, all polarized.
How it works : In my acoustic guitar I have 3 pickups wired to 2 jack output. A fish man infinity matrix and a fish man rare earth blend. Both of them are going in the pedalboard where they are each plugged in an mxr 6 band EQ that is perfect to mix yourself your pickup on an acoustic guitar. The both of them are blended in the tonebone pz pre acoustic preamp where I à'm mixing the final EQ, where I have a boost switch for solo, where I have a loop to connect to my effects pedalboard, where I have a mute switch, where I have my tuner out.
Tuner out goes to the TC Helicon Harmony G where I get the guitar to tune in and get the note for the harmony. The Harmony G is killer, very good quality. The only bad thing is the knob that are to easy to move and it's dangerous live to **** up your settings. I'm only using 2 banks on the tc helicon. One for Slapback (Johnny Cash and old country cover) and the other for standard reverb (for new country songs like sac brown band and stuff).
* Lot of people really dislike effects on your voice so if you want to use the tc helicon, don't always use it. It's nice when only used a couple of time in a show! That's my tip!
You can see the jack outputs, those are switchcraft enclosed pc jacks for hum protection as there's no space. Again all cuts with a drill and dremel. Shrink tube is also really important for hum and contacts as there's no space.

The MXR EQs are fit there with a dremel tool again and all of the pedals on the board have industrial strength dual lock velcro.
The foot here are necessary and been really hard to think of. I've search the whole forum and found a post here with a genius idea. Here's my version. Jack nut rivet / all ¼ 20 / where I'm using the original foot of the nano. It's really simple and really tough!
Hope my post is clear for people I could help with the nano and sorry for my english, it's not perfect as I'm from Quebec and speak french!
Thank you TGP this project would never be there without all of your post full of informations and ideas!
