Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Interesting power supply. My small board has a Radial pre that takes a weird 15v 400ma supply that not many supplies can do so I have to use the Radial power supply and a One Spot which is annoying. Not sure if it is $230 annoying.

Watch the sites, I snagged mine for $50 less than cost since it was open box from a music store (theres one on reverb now for $170 - https://reverb.com/item/26715874-cioks-dc7-7-isolated-dc-outlets-power-supply). Alternatively you can hunt a cioks eventide power supply which is identical but different packaging...for some reason those sell a hair less than the DC7.

The thing I love about the DC7 is that it can handle ANYTHING powerwise (and fits under a pedaltrain nano/metro). I have a voltage doubler cable from a previous cioks so with that, I can get almost any voltage combination possible. I plan to do a demo of the Broughton Silver deluxe with a loop going through it at like many different voltages (9, 12, 15, 18, 24) with the DC7. Can't do that with any other power supply. It's just great to have a supply that you can use with virtually any pedal. The cioks split flexes can also come into play in a big way since the 9v gives 660 mA to work with.

Updated my little compact board today with a Zoom pedal. It’s a nice little setup with mostly pedals I don’t use, but I like changing between the two compressors in the chain depending on what bass I use.

This little board has really changed the way I think about pedals. It was initially put together so I could spend time learning these 2 and be portable and without an instrument...but now I'm thinking this may need to be on a table and wired into my setup as is (maybe add some other lunacy to the board like a Klein bottle or PLL or BOTH!).

PT Metro 16 w/a Cioks DC-5 underneath. I change the setup around a bit between gigs but it's almost always two Strymons (I also have and use the Flint and the El Capistan). The Mastotron is my newest addition, I use it for a very synthy/gated-ish sound and it's great for that. Very versatile fuzz pedal.
