Next up for me is a monitor controller. Still deciding which one to go for.
I'm seriously tempted by the new Dreadbox Nymphes too.

i went with a slightly different solution... connect the wallwarts to a 4- or 6-way strip, then the strip is connected through one of these:

Got two of them, so 10 controllable sockets, plenty granular enough for now. Has saved a ridiculous amount of effort trying to reach behind stuff, on floors, under desks, etc. My back is definitely grateful.

(Meanwhile.... finally got a Hector incoming.)

This year has seen the arrival of a Dan Electro 12 string; Boog D (to go with the neutron) Beatstep Pro and Keystep Pro Mk2..and a Behringer U-Phoria UMC1820..also picked up an old Yamaha acoustic guitar at an estate sale.

ooh very posh!
aside from all pedals on one block...
i go direct in to two ten gangs with surge protection. then two wall sockets, which luckily in my case, are on the wall near the door, meaning my shelf is only just on them.
and being open backed, with nothing below the table, the sockets are easily accessible.
which given my back and knees, im so happy about

the issue comes now, if i want to add more than another 3 items that require plugs. the other twin socket, is behind stuff and totally inaccessible

i may have to overdub

For me, I use this… “Alexa, turn on Pedal Board.” This actually powers the MN semi modulars. I need another one for the Oto Bam now. No introduced noise with these.

And nice one on Hector!

Was expecting it Monday, but its arrived!

i don't know what hector is, is it something im better off not knowing?.

Its the Eurorack version of the Poly Effects Beebo; a 'virtual modular' multi-effect thingy, basically quite a bit like the Zoia module, except uses a big touchscreen to wore up the modules instead of lots of buttons.

It'll do convolution reverb, which almost nothing else Eurorack does, but its also got ports of various mutable modules, it can do 3 Clouds at once!

Thinking seriously about a SSL UC1. Anybody here have one?

Cool ideas for the power situations guys, I never liked turning off the power strips as there was kind of a sudden in-rush of power as all the psu's ramped up. Maybe some remote control would work better. As for the pedals, I don't actually have a pedal board set up currently, I do need to find a larger global psu for them. I was being cheap when going with the Cioks DC 8, I need to pony up for a big one.

Not Jedi, but you can feel less like like a muggle… https://www.amazon.com/HARRY-POTTER-Rem ... 9648&psc=1

You might be able to get it to work with the whyterabbyt’s remote power connection.
