Show me your compact pedalboard setup

I've had an Airturn pedal close to a year now, and I finally installed it on the pedalboard. I had to put it on a riser so hitting the switch wouldn't cause me to hit other switches.

As mentioned Super Stack is the tube version of the Fender tone stack w mids (or the Alembic pre)...and the Silver Deluxe is the JFET version. Although the voice is the same the coloring is quite different. Sound is impossoble to describe w adjectives but I and others have used the words buttery and rich to describe the super stack whereas the Silver Deluxe has more grit (esp at low voltages). They are closest when the Silver Deluxe is run at 15 - 18 volts (though Ive never tried any in between non standard voltages like 20, 21, etc). The Silver Deluxe, to me, works amazing w distortions and the Super Stack is an always on and stacks incredible w other pres running into it. They are both worthy, if I had to pick one it would probably be the Super Stack, but if you asked me on a different day I might say the Silver Deluxe.
 
Just made this compact two tiered board for my desk:

The DI out from the Aguilar Tone Hammer goes to my Audient iD14 interface, and the jack out goes to my Fender Rumble 100.
The Ginger is an awesome DIY ampsim circuit from Runoffgroove based on Ampeg SB-12 Portaflex.

On the floor I have this small board where I connect my bass using the Boss RC-1 as a buffer pedal, and also splitting the signal where output A goes to the pedalboard on the desk, and output B goes to a Korg GA Custom tuner beneath my computer screen. The small O.D. is a footswitch I made for the drive channel on my Fender Rumble 100:

Thrilled with this. Bought a nano plus and the equivalent ON Stage board. Kept the On Stage... better bag, slanted, plenty of room underneath for a Strymon Zuma R300 that can plug in from the side, and cheaper! I couldnt have cared less that it was less money, but it’s awesome when the better product (for me) is less. Check them out if you’re in the market.

Is this the GPB2000?

...got tired of trying to find a single row 24” tilted board with PT standard (non- metro) pedal spacing, and a perfect fit for my Cioks DC7...so went crazy with my table saw, and the hardware store...

...finishing it up today. :thumbsup:
 
Finally got myself a new pedalboard (Pedaltrain Classic Jr). So spent most of the morning setting it up, making it as clean as possible. Added a Darkglass VMT (I'm in love with this bastard) and a bluetooth page turner for my tablet. I'm pretty happy with how it came out!
