Show me your compact pedalboard setup

I've been digging this setup for a while now.

There's a thumpinator and a empress buffer under the hood. All powered by a harley benton isopro2.

Everything plays really well with each other, but lately I've become very intolerant to the noise the accountant seems to introduce when engaged.
Not at all noticeable while playing, but annoying (to me) in between songs.

Sweet setup. Your Dirt transmitter settings are identical to mine. I love my accountant too but the noise is super annoying especially when recording.

Well, yeah...you'd need to amplify it to record it. Do you play just headphones?
No, while I use only this for home practice.

To achieve a more or less acceptable sound, I put the 15W amplifier from Aliexpress in another enclosure. Then I took apart the Belcat G-5 5W guitar combo and put its amplifier in a separate case.
The following chain has turned out:
jb (parallel switched on, volume:max|tone:max) -> sa141 (only clean boost preset - drive:min|eq amount:min|clean mix:min|dist mix:max) -> pedaboard (M80 effect and dist turned on, bass:11|mid:3|treble:1|dist blend:min|trigger:max|gain:min|gate:max|dist volume:12) -> g-5 (volume:12|tone:12) -> ali amp (volume:12) -> 30W philips speakers

On the Dual Muff Fuzz the volume knobs is 2 o'clock and the tone knobs is 9 o'clock.

Slapped this stuff together to check out the new drive & dynamics & do a bit of a shoot out between the Atlas & Saturn boosts for the soon to come reconfig of the main board:

The Cali76 seems good so far just plugging it in & using the force as far as settings go, I dunno if it's necessarily $180 better than the MXR M76 or M87 for me yet, but I need track down some guidance on what the ranges on the controls are & what sounds like it ought to work best for me. I will missing the multi-segment metering of the MXR or Empress boxes if it winds up sticking for me.

I've only scratched the surface of the Vintage Deluxe but it seems very similar to the now departed B72 v2 except w/ a breakup character that seems like it will be more my thing.

I need to A/B the boosts plugged into the PF50T stack before I make my decision, but so far I think the Atlas III will wind up on the bass board & the Saturn VI will go back to its spot in the drive stack of main large guitar board.

If you dig the Cali76 but want something cheaper with metering, I’d suggest taking a look at the Darkglass Hyperluminal. FET mode on the HL is meant to be an 1176 style comp like the Cali76. I got it for that but think the BUS mode is also fantastic. They’re not identical, but I think I actually prefer the Darkglass and find it easier to dial in.
 
Simplicity. I know the v1 really well, and know how to utilize it to get what I’m after out of Le Bass. On top of that, the new firmware update on the CAB m adds a noise gate, and a tuner, so it made the EQ2 expendable.
And by the way, if anyone needs a cab sim, for any reason, the CAB m+ is pure gold! Easy to get a great tone out of, and very versatile.

Liiike. I'm very interested in knowing wich and why DI out you're using, having 3 or 4 available on this pedalboard. I do supose the Torpedo C.A.B. is the one you send to the FOH... or are you mixing some of them? Thanks.
Thanks!:) Yes, you are right. I’m sending from the Torpedo to FOH. And a pre Torpedo to my amp:)
But sometimes if I have two channels on the board, I also use the clean DI from the G70.
