Show me your compact pedalboard setup

This is my compact rig - my only rig! Does everything I need right now. Power supply underneath. Going to monitors and/or Mac via MOTU interface.

Aha! A fellow Lekato looper user! I recently discovered these little beauties, too. Amazingly well featured for the price and very compact. In my case I'm finding really useful for recording ideas and licks.

View attachment 3926029 I won’t claim it’s the most compact, but considering I managed to fit my amplifier on there I’m gonna say it’s pretty cozy. There’s some space for a Moog delay on it’s way back from repairs and something to replace the Malekko if I decide to actually sell it.
Those Little Rolls mixers are incredibly useful!

And...wow, I just googled that Ashdown Ant, what a cool concept!

How do you like the HX Stomp?

After a couple months I find I really love it. I don’t do crazy pedalboards and effect chains anymore, country and wedding bands don’t call for it, but I do always want a decent compressor, drive, and octave. It’s easiest to think of it as the central processor rather than a multi effect. Can’t wait for update 3.0 to add two blocks so I can split a cab sim to the rolls unit for IEM.

I’ve gone through three of these with different features, but I’m always pleased with their performance. My only hesitation is passing a FOH thru the XLR out, but the Ant has a DI our so it’s not an issue. And I love the Ant by the way. 200 watts, flexible with or without a pre/modeler, headphone out (if I didn’t have the rolls), and designed to sit on a pedalboard.
 
Ok final change... For today... more compacted/impacted than ever... (buffer mounted underneath)

I still have to compare the Boss chorus to the TC corona. I’m still learning how and when to use chorus, and I learned more about which toneprints to download.

That Boss row is bad-ass. Are the EQ settings for soloing?
 
My band might actually gather to practice tomorrow evening (lots of hand sanitizer on deck...), and I realized that I haven't boasted of my awesome pedal setup before recklessly tearing it apart to try a new combination posted an image of my board in a while! ;););)

Anywho, I realized that I use the same handful of pedals at 97% of my gigs, so I mounted them all on a MONO Rise+

The Crimson Red Preamp is my "dub switch" - I stomp it and get an instant mudbucker sound from my J-bass. The Scrutator makes fun, weird sounds. The Afterneath is cool for solo ambience. I think I have one solo in a three hour set, but I like how it adds some air to the sound. I use a simple 9V wall wart to power everything and a couple of rubber twist-ties to keep the cables from flopping about.

The whole kit and caboodle (save for the expression pedal, which I do not always include) lives in an Orange Micro Terror bag. I use the Velcro separator to keep any extra bits and pieces I may need organized.
