Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Rearranged the board again. Really liking this setup. I love the MS-3.

I love this. Are the three pedals on the left in the loops? And how do you rate the effects in the MS-3? I'm still doing a fair bit of experimenting with mine- I feel guilty for liking the drive models so much, but they don't get as wild as i find myself wanting sometimes.

Thanks. Yeah signal goes Bassballs > Opto Stomp > MS-3 > Glowplug. The three dirt's are in the loops.
I am using it for EQ/HPF, chorus, phaser, delay and verbs. I love it so far. I love only having to step on the MS-3 for complete signal changes. The dirt's are surprisingly good with the blend capabilities.
 
Might have a new front runner.

I took a chance and ordered one last year, works well enough, mine wasn't noisy but the switch makes quite a pop so probably only suitable for an always on pedal.
Took it off my amp/board though 'cos having too much adjustment made me hypercritical of my sound lol.

I found it was only the initial use where it popped, like it discharges static or something? After that it was ok.

Always a "wallet risk" to have space for one more pedal on your board! Proton arrived yesterday to take the remaining slot on my mini board. First impressions: very positive - it’s really easy to dial in a tasty filter sweep.

Signal chain is Smoothhound wireless-->Boss LS -->Zoom B1X-4-->3Leaf Proton--> Digitech Mosaic.

The Zoom is in the LS2's loop to allow me to blend in as much clean to combine with the Zoom's effects. That's a must for a lot of the Zoom drive patches, particularly my fav Rat Tail, but it's a "nice to have" to keep some authentic low end with other fx.
