Show me your compact pedalboard setup

My board is just an HX Stomp going into a JDI (mainly to have a fallback on hand IF the HX craps out during a a set). I have to say...the HX is a game changer!

For real. What a compact all in one. I am currently running mine in the Fx Loop of a Shift Line Olympic MkIIIS. Does everything.
Sometimes switching the order of the daisy chain can fix a hum issue with the Zoom pedals. They are little magic boxes.
My 60B has been on the studio desk and I have spent hours diving into ToneLib creating patches for fun and as back up to my other flyaway board for festivals this summer.
Start of a new compact board... power supply and wren and cuff pickle pie hella fuzz on the way...
Sound experiments continue

Battery-powered emergency pedalboard. Tiny but versatile. The Accountant does double-duty as an overdrive. The Donner DI is based on the Fender Micro DI. The cab sim isn't half-bad. The "board" is a Pedaltrain Volto power supply. Wiring is temporary until I get some right-angle plugs.

I ditched the HPF LPF (didn't feel it was needed) and added the Swell ... Now I have many different options at my disposal.
How do you find Volto? I have much cheaper chinese "version" that has high-pitch whining sound when below certain current consumption (that "below" is the only reason I keep using it, MS-60B and a noise gate drain enough current to stop whining, or move frequency to some inaudiable highs).
I had a high frequency whine with the 60B also. It was discussed at length in the MS60B thread a while back.
In the end I grabbed a Strymon Ojai power supply so that the 60B could have it's own isolated power, and that fixed it. I also run mine in the loop of an LS-2 so I can take it out of the signal chain when not it use.

Will look that thread up, so far I hear high-frequency "sand" noise, but it it surprisingly resovled by placing EQ pedal last in 60B and dialing in -12db on 10k dial.
To be more precise, I hear whining _without_ 60B, i.e. when I plug in only LS-2 or even worse, only OD pedal, because they take less current. Plug in 60B, and that particular whining either goes quiet to moves to unhear-able frequencies. 95% sure it is happening because of cheap switching stabilizer that either whines when under-loaded, or whines all the time but frequency differs with current consumption. Hence asking here, I think Volto would have better stabilizer or what's inside.
On my 60B, I use the following settings of Ba GEQ:
• 50Hz: 0
• 120Hz: 0
• 400Hz: -12
• 500Hz: 0
• 800Hz: 0
• 4.5kHz: -12
• 10kHz: -12
A noise has become less..

This is what I used to do also. It is a really high freq, so it isn't surprising that taking out 10k fixes it.
I was surprised that filter within pedal helped. I would not be if external EQ or cab sim did that, but why it is able to stop it's own noise, or more, why it is not stopping that noise always or as a global option.
Barely fits, but loving this Super Unpleasant Companion.
Super Mini Board! I just assembled this crew atop a Mono Rise+ (typically a riser) that I use to hold my essentials (Tuner/One Control Crimson Red Preamp/Neo Mistress Flanger). I've used the riser in this capacity before, and I thought a stripped-down "desert island" set would be a great use for the l'il guy.
The whole thing is daisy-chained together for power, typically from a simple wall-wart or a MuTron rechargeable battery pack. It travels atop a pair of guitar cables in an Orange Micro Terror bag.
