Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Has anyone found a cheaper alternative to the nano boards?

I've found this one on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015MMTR3...8103-a9113943cbec&ie=UTF8&qid=1541438632&sr=2

No... but that definitely looks like a nice alternative... wonder if it could fit a Pedal Power 2+ under it? Maybe, a lift kit for the feet? I know the height of the PP 2+ is 1.8", and this states 1.18"...

... width of the frame, or height off the floor?

Edit: Height off the floor, from one of the pics.

"Pedal mountain tape and cable ties included, to Fix the pedals on board stable; Convenient for Musicians carry"

The pedal mountain tape is worth the cost alone.

Been obsessed with guitar pedals for a while, so now that I'm playing more bass I obviously had to put together a dedicated bass board.

The board is designed to be able to go both in front of an amp or straight to the PA, depending on what's needed and appropriate.

The space at the end is for a tuner; haven't gotten around to getting one yet.

What will your power supply situation be?

All I need
 
How do you like the sub n up?
It's not bad for bass, as long as you use it in monophonic mode. If you use polyphonic it's just too laggy. It's not my favourite octaver, but it's the only one I had lying around when I started assembling this board :P
Not sure I have much use for an octave pedal, but at the moment this pedalboard is in the "throw everything against the wall and see what sticks" mode.

What will your power supply situation be?
At the moment I have a daisy chain under the board that I plug an MXR adapter into (660 mA total), but I'll probably chuck a Cioks Adam under there when I get the chance. No rush though - the TC pedals play really nicely with daisy chains and analog pedals, so there are no noise issues right now.

I'm liking this... a little bit pricey, but comes with hardware to mount the Pedal Power 2+ underneath...

... and deep down, I'm a Dingbat at heart, anyways.

I have one of these.


I actually had to add my vocal processor, so I had to go to a bigger board, and a bigger power supply.

 
Well, seeing as a Pedaltrain Jr is considered compact.. This has been a work in progress for quite a few years now. Made up of pedals I specifically wanted and used pedals from the local classifieds.. Many didn't make it.. These did! Pedaltrain Classic Jr, 13 pedals, power supply, EBS patch leads, Mooer Daisy chains. There are also a couple of exp pedals in my setup.

Can you actually turn the Hotone on and off with your foot?
 
Anyone running a battery-powered board? What power supply options are out there? I am thinking of putting together a Nano+ board with compressor, OD, and tuner for lugging with me to practices with bands/jams that are not in our rehearsal space (where I keep a larger board). Being battery powered would allow me to plug into the backline without having to run power out to the pedal board. I'd need 3-4 hours of power, at least. Bonus would be fitting underneath a Nano+ without modification.
