Show me your compact pedalboard setup

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.

My mini pedalboard... this is my everyday, normal practice, gig setup. Daisy chained and powered by a Boss power supply.

I LOVE this idea!
 
Finally, it is assembled :3
I consider this compact because it has only 2 actual effects, Zoom and Slap Cannon, and all pedals fit into one line. Would fit cabsim with IR there some day.
Under nominal light:

And in the dark with stage light:

Chain is
"Dual Pooper" (dual mono to two mono)
A into Zoom as EQ and comp, then Input of LS-2
B into Joyo noise gate, then Slap Cannon OD, switch modded to cut below 1kHz, then Return B of LS-2
Then Behringer DI
 
You know what they say, mo' pedals mo' problems - I thought my mini board was set but after my first two gigs with fuzz on tap I'm realizing I might really benefit from a noise gate. With my TAFM on I'm getting tons of feedback and string noise... and that's just from standing still, not even while trying to play. Any suggestions for a small, hopefully inexpensive gate to try taming the fuzz? I'm looking at Mooer right now...

Donner too for cheap options. Any reason to go more expensive here? I also need something small that I could maybe put underneath the board. PT Nano so not a ton of room to work with.
