Show me your compact pedalboard setup

This mini board is everything. It plays itself like a modular synth. Totally nuts. Who still plays bass anyway...

Always nice to see Barbershops on boards. I've had such a strange relationship with this pedal over the years (sold/returned and bought again plenty of times), but can't seem to get rid of it.

I love mine and i keep discovering new cool ways to set it. I don’t really love how it plays with the Cali though. It seems to cut off most of the grit unless i set the attack time real slow. Oh well, Barbershop compresses too anyways!
 
I think I win? This is a "board" I fashioned together from extra pedals as a way to DI at practice since my working band uses all in ears. Snark tuner -> spark booster -> Radial JDI. The spark is just there to get the signal hot enough on some of my basses. Powered by a lowly one spot.

Update on my last update - under-board cable management reconfig to accommodate power.

At this point it still feels a bit inelegant, the 3-way 1.5 foot extension is too heavy duty, the cable is too thick to bend nicely. I may replace it with a 1.5' 3-way powerstrip (1' was too short). My OCD has been pacified for now.....

At least the power for the GlowPlug (15v) and TC Chorus (AC) is sorted for now without going external.

(Edit: Note most of those are not my settings, the knobs got moved during the process)

@DDXdesign - FYI

How do the GP and the SV sound together?
