Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Not my pedalboard, but an interesting one:
Found this on the TC Electronic Facebook page, dated 2.June 2016
It's Guy Pratt's (Pink Floyd etc.) setup:

Interesting how 'mainstream' that board is! Anybody know what the two big expression/volume/wah pedals are?

Peace,
SoundSupport
The one on the right is an Ernie Ball VP Jr., not sure of the exact model.

What the what?! That deserves details.

I actually stumbled into a deal on a box full of “demo” pedals for a very, very low price. I figured, “What the heck, why not?”

Little pedals big board?

Maybe. I guess it depends on if one thinks the footprint of the Metro 24 is a big board. Or if the number of little pedals on the Metro 24 makes one think that it is a big board.

I don’t think that a 24” x 8” board is big, but others may think differently.

I was more playing off the "little people big world" concept :)

To me, anything less than a PT pro is compact.
 
I put together a really basic pedalboard this morning for use on IEM gigs. It’s a really basic Pedaltrain metro 24. Left to right- Coda Music Stomp Bluetooth iPad controller, Peterson Strobstomp HD Tuner, Mesa foot switch in case I’m using the WD-800 Rig, Mesa Subway+ Preamp/DI. All run from a 1spot CS-6 Power Supply.

This is the next piece to add above the Mesa switch between tuner and Subway+. I found this on amazon it’s a stick on flat Dash clock.

Nicely done!

I haven’t gotten to my DIY board project yet but did just pick this Accel board up. It’s only 15” wide and has 2 decks plus a shelf underneath, ostensibly for a power supply, but in my case my Milkbox is hiding under there. Couple pedals will be replaced eventually but I think this has all the space I actually *need*... it will be more compact (tightly arranged) with the upcoming pedals.

+1 to see another Accel board user. We should start a group or whatever they call it on this board....
I also posted something similar recently Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Noob pedalboard, first attempt.

MXR Vintage Bass Octave > Pigtronix Disnortion > HPF > VT Bass.

The HPF is in front of the VT Bass because I need the DI when ampless. The VT Bass and HPF are "always on" for me. Also (mostly) always on is the mid-bump on the MXR. It's set here to 800 hz and backed off a touch from the factory +6db setting.

Found the Pigtronix at a great price. As a mini, I felt it whould be a good fit (it is). Hardly the master of the knobs on this one (actually not a master knob spinner on any of these pedals), I find milder settings give me all that "Give Me An EB-0 Now" feeling I need.

The board is the small Outlaw Nomad. Works fine for me as a pedalboard virgn.

Room remains for one more mini. Don't really need a tuner pedal as I'm happy with the headstock tuner. Almost certainly I don't need the octaver or the extra overdrive LOL But all magic to me as one whose only "pedal" was a volume pedal. Pretty happy. Saves me batteries and one fewer cable at my feet (a good thing). Except that before the pedalboard there was only the VT Bass and now I have four pedals. ‍¯\_(ツ)_/¯
