Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Never planned to be an Aguilar fan boy. But I had the TLC, then the THDI and Agro looking for tube OD, then the Octamizer, and on it goes. All these pedals do exactly the sounds I want, so it is what it is!

Can power it with the Warwick PT XL battery or a one spot.

I actually do have the Grape Phaser on the way to swap in when needed. Unlikely to want the Chorus and Phaser on the same gig, or maybe the THDI goes and I add my Radial Stage Bug SB-2 on the end. We shall see

I never tried the THDI, I've always been either an MXR M80 or Sansamp BDDI fan but I did dig the Agro when I had it. Great sounding OD.

Man, that is one of the neatest boards and great camera shots-what did you use for a camera if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks mate. Appreciate the kind words.
Would you believe the photos were taken with a Samsung A70 phone. Had to give in and get a new phone last week as the battery got so bad on my old one, I couldn't take it any more!
I think the light is key. Always got good photos under my pergola with Sun Tuff sheets on the roof.

I'm loving it.

The C4 into the Aftershock with the presets I found online might be my favorite go-to sound now. The DC-2W just puts it all over the top. It's like nothing I've really heard before, but anytime I throw them all on, the results are great.
The C4 is a game changer! I’ve been waiting for this pedal for 40 years!
 
I wasn't really sure when I saw some posts about it. Thought it might've been just the flavor of the month, but it's seriously impressive. Covers a lot of sonic-ground.. If that makes any sense.
Makes perfect sense to me! I can finally sound like the records I grew up listening to! And it actually tracks almost flawlessly! You have to be “aware” on some of the wilder, Mono patches, but the latency problem is just not there anymore! I am so excited for the possibilities this pedal!
 
Here's my current compact-ish setup. It sits on a Rockboard Duo 2.1
Poyltune 3 -> Little Bear Fuzz (Woolly Mammoth clone) [set the Polytune to true bypass to not piss off the fuzz pedal] -> MXR BOD -> SA Manta -> Boss OC-2 -> Donner Yellow Fall delay
You could say that it's "inspired" by Michael League's video on Reverb. I basically just copied his setup, yea... So the MXR is my "normal" octaver while the OC-2 is used for that "club" sound only, so just Octave 1 on. I recently performed the volume mod on it, so Oct 2 and dry are out of order to kick some more gain on Oct 1. The Donner Yellow Fall is supposed to be a simple copy of the MXR Carbon Copy. Went the cheap way here cause I don't think I will use it that often, but it's fun when I do!
I'm taking it to the jam for the first time later this evening :)

Nice! What are you doing for power?
