Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Had an MXR chorus last time I posted. Turned out that really belonged on my big board. It took the place of the phaser, which was too much really, so I put it on the small board where it could spread out a bit. The Fishman makes things so clean and open that a little goes a wicked long way with both effects.

The Athena has been on my want list for a while.

Running between the Proton and the Empress tremolo, it was frightening. Add fuzz and it was over. Like playing a sticky black ocean.

Just downsized from Nano+ to Nano, and was intending to only mount either the VT or the MXR. I usually like the VT but sometimes swap in the MXR for more modern tones and the overdrive channel.

But, since I was able to get them both to fit, I think I’ll leave them both on there. I am gonna play around at rehearsal this weekend with having the VT always on, then using the MXR as a clean boost.

This was just a quick pedalboard that I threw together because I was going to practice and just wanted something that fit in my Mono Tick bag. It sounds pretty good, better than I was expecting. Sonic Nuance cables and TDI because I needed a DI to go direct, modded GEB-7 for less noise / improved op amp mostly for some speaker simulation, the BB-1X to give some tube-esque warmth or grit. However, with the drive turned up, not sure I'm happy with the overdrive. And the comp smooths the playing. Underneath is a True Tone CS-6 power supply. I can get a nice mix of tones out of this simple rig. Ok, there was a point in time where I would have called it fancy, so that's relative. My main board has a Noble DI, FEA DE-CL, Creation Audio Grizzly, Turbo Tuner, Broughton HPF.

this is a narrow version of the PT Classic JR, the empty slot is going to take Spark 4 knob, do you guys have any suggestion for a modulation, thinking of getting the EHX mod 11 or SA Gemini pedal to replace the MS60B or should I keep it instead?
I get my Modulation from my MS-60B. Do you not like the Mod options on it?

I am also getting modulation from my MS-60B. And not only modulation. And the guys from the band I play in are also quite happy with my sound. In general, as we say: the taste and color of all markers are different ;):thumbsup:

I like its modulation, just thinking of options which I know is not practical

Keep :thumbsup:. Or get the other ones at guitar center so you can return them if you don’t like them lol

yeah, the ms60b is really good at letting users make their own dream pedal. Plus you don’t need a computer to adjust parameters. It’s awesome.

The best aspect of all MS series is the ability to add effects from other Zoom effects. Off course it's a hack, but works perfectly.
MS series + midi controller (like on my board above) = near perfect cost effective solution.
