We’re all just joking around. We all suffer from GAS. I’ve been dealing with it for 40 years!

Show me your compact pedalboard setup
- Thread starter garmenteros
- Start date
Oh, I'm sorry I don't understand) My mind is asleep because I have a hangover - yesterday we presented our first EP ..
My first board for practice, and gigs with or without an amp
Made a board out of some left over construction material and an old suitcase. Not quite finished yet so it’s a little messy, but it works.
I'm a cutting-board convert, a broken bamboo one that has a Turbo-Tuner and fDeck V3 on it and fits in my DB gig-bag.
The PT Mini is going to be repurposed as a practice board with looper and drum machine.
Went from compact (DIY)
To a bit less compact, although it takes less stage space since mic stand / IEM mixer stand and controller are now part of the pedalboard. I will add a 3rd stand for the Laptop.

It's the MK2 which can be used as a generic midi contrioller
I use it to control Mainstage, that I use as an effect processor (and to display the setlist and the lyrics)
I use the buttons as follows:
1 - Trigger the tuner (which malso mutes the signal)
2 - Advance to the next song in the setlist
3 - 4 Turn On-Off effects
The pedal is linked to the volume, but since I never use it for volume changes, I will probably use it to control certain effect parameters (such as Wet/Dry ratio, Envelope Follower range/sensivity, etc). Also, there is an extra button at the top of the pedal that I plan to use it to turn a wah effect, when I'll find a wha plugin that I will like with the bass.
The complete signal chain is Wireless - Overdrive - Compressor - Computer (effects only, I don't really like amp sims) - VT bass DI. So far, the best sounding chain I had.
Hopefully this is compact enough. I recently had to upgrade from PT Nano. Order goes Tuner -> Comp -> Effects on Bottom Row -> HPF -> VT Bass DI. The Comp, HPF and DI are always on, so I have my most used switches all on the bottom row. This is finally a setup I think will keep me satisfied for a long time!
This goes to FOH and IEMs. No amp. I've never owned an amp hahaha!

Loaded up the Danelectro French Toast Octave Fuzz to my short board for some double duty at a blues jam. Gonna play some bass and some lead on Tweety (piccolo bass). Got a bank of tones on the Zoom that sound great through the trusty old Polytone MB III.

This one has been static for a while now and will stay unless an SV-PRE comes my way.
Three possible power sources.. single rechargeable 9volt, good ole 1 spot and Birdcord USB
that can take power from a battery or directly from the WD800 which is cool since I keep
the board on the amp.

My current Nano setup. It's a simple chain with pretty much all I need to have some fun with a variety of styles. Ideally, I would have the tuner in front, but it works just fine coming back from the effects loop. The tiny mini Iso brick keeps the underboard nice and tight. A battery in the Cloven Hoof allows me to get all six going. Pretty happy with it, all-in-all.
Revised my board a little bit. Homemade travel board / hard case powered by a Cioks Adam.
Finally got myself a compressor (still gotta figure out how tf that thing works lol), so I'm updating my multicolored monstruosity:
Pitchblack -> M87 -> SubNUp -> Aftershock -> Corona -> X7
