Show me your compact pedalboard setup


@Andyroo721

How's the PT Tuner working out for you? What did it replace, and what other tuners have you tried and how does the PT compare?

Thanks in advance.

Also... Great colour palette on your basses, you could crop the photo so it only shows the basses' bodies for some cool abstract art...

Also, how is it being fed a signal? Is there a second "out" on the Carbon Copy?
 
Hi, hope everyone is doing ok !

Since I had some free time and needed to organize my pedals, I built a small pedalboard small enough to store on top of my Rumble 100 when I'm not playing. I was lucky to have some GRP laying around to replicate something I saw online:

I think I will look for or make smaller patch cables in the future.

Take care guys!

Tuner works great... it's a little slow in reaction time, but it does the job well enough and serves it's purpose of space saving. It replaced a D'Addario tuner that I liked pretty well. My favorite I've used is still the Pitchblack.

I'm not sure how compact it is, but it's about to get more elaborate. One Spark is an always on and the other is a boost.

The zoom A3 is for my EUB.

I'm planning on getting a tube preamp and possible another eq pedal that would possible replace the Empress ParaEq, and build a separate board for my EUB using en the Empress with it.

I'm using the Keeley Bassist as more of a limiter.

I'm thinking about the Tech 21 Q Strip as a last pedal in the chain and also using it as a DI.

Power is underneath.

Just put together a new board since I have a little time on my hands due to everything going on. :) This has a good chance of being THE board for all of 2020 for me. It has all the sounds I need/use, I have the right amount of space between pedals given my size 13 shoe, and after trying many other boards I found the roadrunner board/bag combo is the easiest setup for me. It's fairly quiet as well, just have the noise suppressor as a "just in case".

How does the Hot tubes do?

It does pretty well, definitely sounds better with the tone engaged. It has a very warm overdrive that should be used sparingly, very easy to go too much drive and then it sounds too mushy. I also have a Battalion Nano but I'm actually liking the Hot Tubes a lot better as an always on drive. It also plays very nicely with the Big Muff.
