Show me your compact pedalboard setup

How do you like the sentry? Thinking of getting one myself just to get a bit quieter

That was my goal also. I wanted dead quiet when I'm not playing. Just got it this morning, but at least on the "Hiss" setting, it seems to do exactly what I wanted. I figured I'd try it since it has TonePrints that I can try if one of the settings doesn't do what I had in mind. The Grizzly gives off a little bit of noise when the OD or Distortion is up. So the Sentry turns that to nothing when I'm not playing. So, I guess I'll give it an initial thumbs up and I don't see any reason why the long term won't be the same.

EDIT: Playing with it a little more, the HISS setting works great, but the other settings tend to leave artifacts in the sound. I only tried a few of the Toneprints and was not happy with any. So, HISS it is and I'll probably just leave it at that.

Documenting my current compact setup before I inevitably move to Pedaltrain Classic JR and add a bunch of unnecessary pedals.

Yesterday I added on board the Devi Ever Year Of The Rat,
which I built according to the scheme found on the web, slightly modifying it.
I learned about this pedal last year, when I was developing an application for planning a pedalboard,
I watched video reviews - I liked the sound.
But I remembered about it only in February and decided to make myself a birthday present,
because it is also symbolic, because I was born in the year of the Rat :)

Which power supply are you using? looks nice and compact
 
Great board! I've already got a Le Bass and I'm planning to get a SA spectrum and possibly an EQ2. Are you currently controlling all of these using the dmc micro? Wondering how the setup would work as I am a Midi noob.
I’m on my way to work. I’ll shoot you a PM in a bit, but I’ll just leave this here:

Not currently on a board- On top of GK MB212 II.

The EBS gold pancake cables save a ton of room compared to the previous Hosa connectors.
Rocktron X-tune giving way this week to an SA EQ2 with its tuner capabilities just a plus.

The TS9 needs some De-oxit and isn't the best for bass, as many know. Though it can have a place with just a compressor.

Though mostly for bass, effects will do triple duty for keyboards and guitar at times. Really need to find a power supply and board that will handle perhaps 2 more pedals, noting that losing the Jurrasic tuner will free up significant real estate.
