Show me your compact pedalboard setup

So this is my board now. I'm really happy with it so far. I have to mention that I'm going ampless lately.

TC Polytune-->Pigtronix Philosopher Bass Compressor-->MXR Bass Octave Deluxe-->Boss LS-2-->HPF-->LPF-->Aguilar Tone Hammer
Boss LS-2-->EHX Big Muff-->Ampeg Scrambler-->Line 6 M5 (Chorus 90% of the time, Envelope Filter and Delay the rest of the time)-->Boss LS-2
I use it as a clean blend

(The pic was taken when I was trying it. I have still to order the cables and "clean" it)

Do you use the VT as a Drive and the Stomp as a pre amp? Which effects do you use with the Stomp?
I have just bought the HX Stomp. I have had a VT Bass/BDDI in my setup for over 25 years now. I’m trying out this set up. Both with the VT Bass as a drive and preamp or just as a drive and Amp sim from the Stomp. I have put the VT in a loop so I can choose where to put it in the chain.
For the Stomp, I use: Comp, Pitch, Chorus, Phaser, EQ, Amp and IR. Whatever the situation needs!:)

Have you tried the new Bass Driver sim from the newest update? I'm wondering how it compares to the real thing?:bassist::hyper:
Great looking board man!
Best wishes,

I really don't think this board can be considered "compact" anymore.

Added the TC Corona Mini Chorus.

10 pedals now, though arguably as many as 5 are not effects per se.

Still smaller than mine though...7 pedals, 1 wireless receiver + 1 One Control AB box (for when the wireless just won't work)...Still looking into replacing the reciever with the Boss WL-60, and adding a SansAmp Bass Driver and (possibly) a Dunlop Mini Cry Baby Mini to the board.

Shouldn't there be a "Not-So Compact" Pedal board forum? ;):D:laugh:

*EDIT* realized I put one too many "mini" in there....and I really don't care...just pointing out the obvious cuz I'm like that!

I think six pedals is still compact

I'm not entirely in love with the VFE Klein Bottle. The functionality is awesome but I guess I just don't like pedals that look like a space ship control panel.

I kinda want to replace the CE-2B with an H9. I don't use it much, and the H9 gives me tap tempo delays and various modulations with just one pedal.

And I love the sound of the Turbo Rat (especially in parallel with the B3K), but I'm an idiot and am fighting the urge to replace it with a mid '80s Rat even though I'm pretty sure the Turbo Rat is better for my needs.

Otherwise I think I'm all set hahaha
