I need some advice from experienced pedalfreaks about boards, power, and pedals. I'm not much of a pedalboard guru, so perhaps I can get some assistance and recommendations. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm considering getting a Pedaltrain Mini to make a portable gigging board, but I'm not sure how to power it. I've been considering the Pedaltrain Volto, One Spot, and Godlyke Power-All.
PEDALS AND RIG
My current pedals, in order, are-
Korg Pitchblack > Wampler Euphoria > Way Huge Aqua Puss > Strymon Lex
However, my dream list of pedals at the moment is-
TC Polytune Mini > Wampler 57 Tweed > Wampler Euphoria > Wampler Faux Tape Echo > Strymon Lex > Ditto looper
Rig is generally a Tele into a Carr Rambler. Tremolo footswitch is kept separate from the board. Texas country, 70s rock, jazz, and blues.
The Strymon is what makes this somewhat difficult. I would probably just use a One Spot for everything and be done with it, but I've heard Strymon doesn't recommend daisy chaining their pedals. Not to mention some of the venues I've played at in East Texas have pretty noisy power that has caused all sorts of buzzes from my pedals. Add a daisy chain and Strymon into that equation and I don't know how reliable my board would be.
The separation from the wall and two outputs make the Volto seem like an attractive option, but I don't know much of anything about the actual longevity of battery life, reliability, if the provided connections are enough to connect all of pedals, or if the two outputs are isolated from eachother. I'm assuming that if they are, I could run the Strymon by itself through one of the outputs.
The less attractive option (for keeping things sleek and minimal) is running everything with a One Spot, using the provided Strymon adapter for the Lex, and plugging both into a small power strip.
I don't know, I'm honestly not sure what to do. Any ideas? Info or opinions on the Volto? Also, if you have any pedal recommendations or things that you think I might want to consider for my board, let me know. Thanks!
