Nope and nope.
Local guy bought a crate of blank ones, he made a bass tube screamer in one and a cool vibrato with a preamp in the other

I probably would see a few examples if I looked back through 204 pages of this thread, but in the interest of getting something done at my day job today, I will just openly wonder if anyone's found success with an all-mini pedal setup. Most such pedals are pretty cheap and designed for guitar, and I haven't seen a compressor I'd give a second look, but the idea of having a dozen individual hand-picked pedals on a PT Nano with room to spare is intriguing.
Anyway, I was going to call my current board "compact" because at least it's less than half the size of my g****r board, but it definitely wouldn't fit in a carry-on like most examples here.
It's almost all gain options, I don't use a lot of modulation on bass anymore, though there's a CEB-3 over on the g****r board that might migrate back over if I find a good substitute for what the CEB can do. The Pock Loop is temporary, destined primarily for my g****r board, it was easier to get power to it for testing by swapping out the RV-7. Who knows, loopers are fun to play with, I'll probably do stuff with it on bass too.
If I had to make this truly compact, the Big Muff, Pock Loop and RV-7 could be removed and the rest of this should be pretty easy to cram on a Nano+. The Big Muff is one heckuva pedal, for better and worse, but the Low Blow can get pretty fuzzed out if I need that tone in a pinch. As it is, if I removed the RV-7/Pock Loop, I could chop off about a quarter of the board.
The only other thing I'm looking to add is a Carbon Copy Deluxe for a sonically-cleaner ambience option than the reverb; if and when I get it the Hardwire reverb will likely be benched completely. I have a Neunaber Immerse MkII and an Avalanche Run on the other board, plus an onboard amp 'verb, so I have ambience options aplenty there, and as we know you have to be careful with reverb on bass to avoid mud (hence wanting a delay, which allows for a similar sense of space with a cleaner sound and shorter trails).

That LA-1A takes up too much space. You should send it to me - then you'd have room fro both your GLXD6's on one board
Rearranged the board again. Really liking this setup. I love the MS-3.
My opinion, the Becos CompIQ is what you need. I replaced my Empress with it. I wanted a Nano that did everything my main board did, and with some extreme tetrising and planning, I got to this:
It is the newest addition so no idea what it is like live. So far I use it as a second, warmer channel for my amps. I have been running it clean so no grit. It has stayed on since I got it.

Great pedal! It does warming really well. If it powered up better, I would still have one!
Here is my compact set up for a while. I have some custom patch cables on the way to make it look just a bit more clean. After that I’m going to tie it down and leave it alone. I’m gonna try to push myself to last a year before changing anything in that part of my set up. We all know how that goes
I've got one coming to me in a few days...from what I've heard is great at adding some subtle grind with relatively low settings, that's at least what I'm looking for for my P. Powering it up can be a PITA with an external PSU and that's why I love and I will never sell my Cioks Ciokolate. It can power anything up.
THIS. BOARD. IS. AWESOME.
Wow, that's really well thought out. Nicely done.
Since I picked up the Fender Super Bassman, I don't need anything except these two. I sold everything else off - but I couldn't part with the Diamond.
This is exactly what I needed to see. I've got a Bassman 100T head coming via Fed Ex this week. That ripping sound you hear is pedals coming off a board... Right bass into the right amp.
The overdrive on both those amps is awesome. Congratulations - enjoy...
I love my Glowplug : get the settings right and it turns even the most anaemic sizzly practice amp into something with a bit of midrange heft and authority. I power mine with a Palmer PWT 12 mk2, which is a hidden gem. 12 outputs; 8 9v and 4 variable between 9 and 24v (I think). Here's how my board looks. Top row is direct, bottom row is in the effects loop.I've got one coming to me in a few days...from what I've heard is great at adding some subtle grind with relatively low settings, that's at least what I'm looking for for my P.
