Show me your compact pedalboard setup

A couple elements are still missing but the core is here...more "spacious" than "compact"...

It's a slightly older pic (not completely wired) but it's accurate otherwise. VMT and C4 in the left and right fx loop on the Stomp.

Whole thing gets power from an Anker powerbank. And if the battery is dead or otherwise in use, the two main power cords (USB C and USB A) go into a single wallwart. I'm a bit obsessive about being battery powered with this rig, but I don't think I'd recommend it for everyone.

May replace the VMT with an AlphaOmicron because the mild dirt in the Stomp is fantastic so I've got a bit of overlap, and the more extreme dirt in the omicron is very tasty.

The C4 is an absolute treasure and fills a void in the Stomp (at least until firmware 3.0 drops).

Cheers, all!

Sweet setup!
How do you like the dod expression?

It isn't terrible, but I know it will fail eventually based on the build and just about every user review. I originally had two as I was trying to keep it Stomp-only. One was (almost) always controlling the output block as a master volume pedal, the other for whatever control per preset.

It has a rather ratchety feel underfoot but it's small, cheap, and I got to pair some coupons and such when I bought the two I had initially so a rather good deal.

I'm sure eventually it'll blow the plastic gear inside and I'll replace it with a mini Dunlop if nothing better comes along
 
Latest version. G50, D'Addario Tuner, and SD studio Bass off, Effectrode LA-1A on. Rearranged positioning Power update from Ojai to Cioks DC7. Improved Homemade PT Jr sized board with Aluminium rails (was carpet covered Pine board) for cable routing.

Toying with leaving the G50 on at the expense of Spark Boost and BSW but not decided

How do you find that EQ200? I've had an at times irrational bias against Boss, mainly the COSM ones, but that seemed like one I might need to check out...
It's great. Dead quiet, you have 3 different sets of freq bands to choose from, you can customize the functions of the switches, the number of settings you want to scroll through (to avoid scrolling unused slots) and you can also set two parallel eqs. Plus a lot more. Sliders are sturdy and movement is very precise. I love it!
