Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Does this still qualify? Going to replace the bad monkey with a jptr fx double jive (dual gainstage overdrive) and wire it up

This is my latest quick’n’dirty board, a Metro 20 downsized from a 24, which I use in my old guy oldies band...

...tuner into Becos comp, then to the Micropog, which I use to split the signal. As we are a trio, I use the octave up(only)to create a phantom second riff guitar during solos, or as a faux 8-string to fatten things up, sometimes even a keyboard-ish sound using a harmony note over the root. The octave goes to the fuzz, then wah, then to the Keely Mod Workstation for a variety of things, which I haven’t used yet; it replaced the three pedals in the forefront, but I may go back to them. Then the Hotone used as a volume control; the octave is always on, and the signal gets blended in to a second amo as needed. If I really need to effect the full signal, I can always turn the POG off. The dry goes to the main bass amp. Run by a Cioks Eventide Powermax with the USB hooked up to my cel phone with the lyrics(always had a problem with those).
 
Recently assembled this board, for creating music—getting my ideas stored/shared, and live looping...very fun pb! The Emerson board (7”x17-3/4” surface) is really nice...high enough to get a few things underneath, too. Barefoot buttons incoming...

Cioks DC7 on a custom cut mounting plate...always Velcro my LED remote controls underneath, so I don’t lose them...

But why did you put the vong first? It makes sendse to have it last in line due to the DI out
I'm using this pedal basically as an HPF/LPF, first in the chain to allow the effects to work more properly with the signal filtered. I'm not using the DI of the Vong. I'm going to my amp (Aguilar TH350) and taking from there the DI signal to the board. If a DI signal is needed from the pedalboard I'll send it from the Boss BB-1x through the Line Out (balanced + some sort of cab sim in there).
I once was invited to play a couple of songs in a gig, so I brought the Vong (battery powered) with my bass and went directly from there to the board.
