Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Thanks! I placed the "direct" and the "oct 2" channels on switches so I can mute them. Recently finished putting this pedalboard. Not to hijack, but I explained the modifications here: New Pedalboard Day!!
I meant the pink pedal...not the proton. You got a pink guy in the upper right corner w some knobs and switches. What is it?
Ahh, apologies for the misunderstanding.
That would be my sleeper OD-Fuzz: Bogdan Polish Love.

I have an obsession for wood. The musical kind.
Rewired my board for minimal fuss. This setup has tones and eq out the wazoo...a mini POWERHOUSE.

I've been going back and forth on this a lot lately, but I think I finally have a layout that works and makes everything sound good:
Spectrum>Super Russian>Pork Loin>Bass Octave Deluxe>Diamond>Tuner
The whole thing is centered on the pork loin. Gives my tone massive body and is wooly sounding. Combine that with the Diamond to rein it in and you've got a great thick tone.
The Tall Font Russian with the pork loin also sounds massive. The creamy dreamer switch makes it all sound really smooth.
The buffer boost is a cleaner/less wooly alternative to the pork loin and sounds good with the octave soloed or after the spectrum.
Lots of great tones and combinations here....
Every time I have gas and think about replacing it, I play through it and the gas subsides.
Just redid my board:

Signal path is simple, but effective : Wireless - Patchbay (so I might use external effect if needed, or bypass the wireless if not needed or if any trouble) - iRig (for computer based effects, bypass switch easily accessible if anything goes not as planned) then DI. On the back I put my IEM Headphones amp (on channel for sound, the other for the click).
I have two pedals (comp and overdrive) that I didn't use, and play keys in another band, but also manages sound, so I recycled my comp and OD pedal as a preamp for my Bass Player. He uses his zoom effect to tailor the sounds he gests from his amp, and I use the OD and Comp to get a similar sound to the mixing board, so he can adjust his sound independently from the main mix (an without messing whit the bandmates that uses IEM.

Seeing that picture,I was reminded that I have the same one sitting here( black with blue light). I just tinkered with it again and yes..really not bad at all! I think I'll start using it more again.
Do you know anything more about it...is it a clone and if so of what ?
This board has really been doing it for me lately. I’ve been trying to use less and less for some time, with just enough to cover everything I need since most of the groups I play with use tracks anyway. Between the Cali/Studio1/Noble I have fat and lush clean tone for days, with plenty of tweakability if I need it. The SVPre is used for a little extra juice and shape on the songs that need a bigger sound (think Pour Some Sugar On Me and such). The Cog is new but man do I love that little pedal. I was never an octave guy but it really delivers when I want it to, and helps when I don’t use my five string. I’m very happy.
Powermax underneath powering everything as well.
Thanks!
Red Llama...the way huge pedal? Was theirs the original or is there another red llama?
Yes, I think it was a great pedal but anemic in the lower notes on bass. The Polish Love remedied that problem.
Awesome! 
I would love to hear more about the terror stamp on bass. Any sound clips?
