Show me your compact pedalboard setup

here is my compact board. It has all that I need.

Why have pedals that you don’t need/use.
Signal loss, money for other things like basses and amps...
Firstly- solid, sweet and effective pedal choices.

Secondly: This is one of the few boards in this thread that would qualify as compact- if being objectively judged my non-effects loving, non- bass playing, actually rational :smug:people. ( Those people are generally far less fun though)

Hey this is no place for sound logic, reason, or sensibility! This is Talkbass!!!
Hahaha I love pedals. My guitar pedalboard is already way to big but I want my bass board to be compact and clean.
In guitarplaying I'm searching for 15 years what setup that I wanted but in bassplaying I know what I wanted already before I started playing.
That's why I have a special connection with bass and not with guitar ;)

Very nice ! I wrote a letter to Santa asking him to bring me a B7K Ultra...since he starts his trip from Rovaniemi Finland, i guess he can easily get me one, plus i support his local products :P

May i ask you, is this rig of yours noisy ? i see you got the ISP pedal there. I use a lot of drive but never felt like i need a gate, was wondering how do you get the max out of the decimator.

thanks in advance for your reply : )

My B7K makes a little bit of noise but really a LITTLE BIT... and I’m obsessed with sillence so that’s why I have the ISP + I had the ISP over from my guitarrig.
I use 2 noisereduction pedals in my guitarrig. 1 up front and 1 in the fx-loop.

After liking how @kevk cut his 24" wide PT classic down to a Metro 24 sized board, I decided to make my own from the "Connect it" system (From Bunnings - the Aussie Home Depot) which uses 25mm Aluminium tube and plastic joiners for corners/intersections and a carpet covered piece of 12mm pine board. I then made another version the size of a Pedaltrain jr to take one extra pedal and my G50 wireless which is set up to use either a battery underneath or a One spot. The metro sized board fits in a Gator MULTIFX 2411 Gig bag. It's a little big, so I can put my 2 Ultimate stands in there also. It wasn't intended, but works well.

Still trying to work out which lay out I like. Both have merit. I now have what I would call 3 compact boards. It's a sickness I tell you! All have the same basic abilities, but all have differences also. Lots of pics of both below!

What are those nice short 1/4" cables that you are using to connect the chain?

A combo of the EBS flat patch cables and some George L’s for some custom length.

^^^This. I love the EBS but they only come in 3 or 4 different lengths, and many of my needs fall in between sizes. Conversely, I hate the George L's...but sometimes you really do need a cable that's exactly 26.213mm long, so...


It’s the Leslie mod. Really adds a cool sound to an already great pedal

Whoa. Tell me more. I've had a CS-9 in my rig since 1983 but would love to find a way to make it even more versatile.
