Great boards but with the mods they turn out to be very expensive for what they are…. Not sure if it’s actually worth it, the Rockboard comes with similar mods and are a lot cheaper. one of the end plates has a chip in it already and I haven’t even used it live yet, and the plate I installed for my Kemper profile player pedal keeps coming off, they are not very reliable… I have half a finished board because I’ve now already spent £500 on a pedalboard and have ran out of money, and that’s without any new pedals! Absolute pain!
It hurts so much when the drill slips and you're chewing off that screw top. Sometimes you can even see screw shavings on the board - I am sure it still works fine but ouch. Great stuff you are making though gotta say.
I made a board very similar to this, but I put a switch on the QC power supply so it doesn't start to boot every time power is presented, because on stage when they are setting up the front of stage power the power goes on and off until its time to line check, at that point the QC gets turned on and hasn't been switched off halfway through booting by accident.
Can you help me real quick? I just got the latest ISP Decimator X G-String and am trying to use it with my Dirty Tree boost and Line 6 HX Effects all at the same time.
Did you get something sorted for this? I haven't personally used a couple of those devices, but you could email us and we could sort out how to use them with our MODs: sales@templeaudio.com
Can someone explain to me how the AC Main is connected? I can see where he plugged into the power supply underneath-BUT-that blue connector that shows on the outside of the board? That doesn't look like you could plug a electrical plug into it? Do I need this cable?
This is the Powercon MOD. You plug a Powercon cable in and it locks in place. It's a common choice for big touring rigs, but for most people I'd recommend using the IEC MOD instead.
No. The 4X MOD doesn't do any sort of signal splitting. You could use it in conjunction with a device that provides that functionality and have the 3 outputs coming out the side of the MOS.
Do you find it difficult to access the switches on the second row? Especially the Captain Hook being behind that JHS? Or the Ventris hiding back there?
How would you recommend mounting a Boss DD20. The sides of the bottom have rubber, the bottom has 3 screws and a plastic battery compartment. The top of the back is metal so I was going to place a large mount there but I’m not sure if the rubber on the side will prevent the screw from working on the mount. Secondly a pedal I need help with would be the mxr evh flanger. It had two plastic battery compartments that prevent the bottom from being flush. I also have a tube screamer that has rubber on the bottom, and that plate can’t be flipped. Lastly, I have an mxr eq ten band that has four rubber pads on the bottom. Would you recommend those being scraped off?
DD20: I believe I’ve removed the rubber and used 1 Medium and 1 Small in the past. EVH Flanger: remove the battery compartment and I think one Large works well Tube Screamer: remove rubber and battery box and put a Medium on the top half.

FX loops explained and showing how the products we make could help streamline that setup. Of course we hope artists want to buy our products because it’s the best solution for their needs!
@@templeboards and there it is, "our product is the best solution" calm it down there Paul Reed Smith. There are probably 500 or so FX Loop explained videos, did not need another. This is a straight up click bait Ad
We’re confident in our products. That doesn’t necessarily mean our creations are going to be THE best solutions for absolutely every use case, period. I’m simply saying that this compact solution may be the best option for someone’s pedalboard setup. If this video helps someone understand signal chain order and fx loops then that’s great… even if they don’t buy something. We genuinely love music and helping others pursue their best performance.
The 4X MOD Pro V2 is intended for use with a mono setup with FX loop. You could also use it for a setup with mono in, stereo out (but not with FX loop). There’s so many options for routing your signal we’d need to cover the plethora of stereo options in a different video.
Sorry you had a negative experience. When installed correctly, they work great and are relatively straightforward to remove without damaging the pedal whatsoever (see older removal videos).
I am planning a templeboard. Pedals I'll have on the board are a fractal fm3, digitech whammy ricochet, ehx pico pog, peterson strobostomp HD mini, fractal ev-2. Which size plates do you recommend?
How do you keep the LED light strip from adding a bunch of noise? I have the Hi5 power module FYI. I can turn on the light when the QC is bypassed-when I am on a break-but when playing, it is too noisy.
Do you have it on its own isolated output? That’s definitely step one. Any noise beyond that may take a bit of troubleshooting. Maybe email us a video?: sales@templeaudio.com
You can purchase Electric Blue color replacement kits for all our boards, but they’re in limited quantity so pick them up while they’re still available! www.templeaudio.com/shop/limited-endcaps-961#attr=570,577
I just got me the same Board. only issue: the LED Mod is out of stock in Germany basically everywhere 😅 i am also not gonna use the patchbay mods (yet), just using power mod.
I love temple boards! I don’t actually use the mounting plates because they infuriated me when I tried. I just use dual lock but I always buy temple boards.
Glad you love the boards! Totally fine to use Dual Lock if you prefer, but - once installed properly - I still think Pedal Plates have a lot of advantages.
@@templeboards they are very solid when installed, and a great design. My irritation came with adding or taking off pedals to swap out. Was a bit more time consuming than the dual lock setup.
Love the work you guys do and am currently building a board around my Quad Cortex, but seriously, I cannot get hold of any of the mods I need here in the UK. It shows how popular you are, but it shows you also have supply and distribution issues that you need to address. I've ordered some of the stuff from Europe, but been told the items are not in stock or have a lengthy delay.
hmmm you blocked the air inlet at the bottom of the QC.... even worse, you put a hot PSU against it... It is passive cooling in the QC, so it needs natural air flow to be optimal...
Using a metal razor knife to cut off the mounting plate could scratch the pedal. The video shows the razor knife with a snap-off blade extended beyond a safe working distance. Just use 15 or 20 pound fishing line to cut through the mounting tape. Naptha (lighter fluid) seemed to work better than Goo Gone to get rid of the tape mess but that took a long time.
I haven’t personally put a Morey wah on our boards, but I believe my buddy used a couple of Medium Pedal Plates. You’ll want to clean off any feet/stickers/residue and give a quick wipe with rubbing alcohol first.
Switched to these years ago. Never looked back. I put painters tape on the bottom of my pedals then the plates. Easier to pry the plate off if I misalign a pedal. Works for me. Never had an issue.
Nothing’s permanently stuck to the board. If you’re referring to the pedal plates stuck to the pedals, they’re still removable without damaging the pedal’s finish whatsoever.
MY BAD !! I see Temple Audio has changed their Quick Release Plates! I am sorry, they look good and we can squeeze everything tighter! Public apology! Looks good.
That's a wonderful tutorial. I'm not too happy in placing CD7 right below the qc air flow holes. Beside that I'll surely follow this useful tutorial for my temple audio pedalboard :D
As far as I know the QC is passively cooled (heat sink) and it shouldn’t cause any issues. Plini hasn’t had any troubles using it on the road but - all that aside - it’d be really easy to place the DC7 elsewhere!
So many bells and whistles, but the real problem is not addressed properly : having a 230v cable so close to audio cables. EMI/RFI interferences could be more "controlled' by placing differently DC7 and its power cable. Additionnally, mounting pedals on a metal plate is not a bad idea, but not any word about ground and ground loops... Mounting a pedal board is not only for solving mechanical problem, but could be a solution for avoiding electrical problems...
