Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Christmas pedalboard - Gator Small aluminum board. After having homemade plywood boards for years and years, I wanted the angled board and ability to put stuff underneath. This works perfectly for me.

3M Dual Lock is an upgrade from velcro, for sure. Also tidied up the underside with stickybacks and zips. Looped a zip around the MXR Pre footswitch to avoid accidental bumpage.

Not on a board yet, but it will fit on a Pedaltrain Nano+ nicely.
It's a kind of a nordic pedalboard: Denmark, Finland, Canada :cool:

Well, 1 lock down, 1 birthday and 1 x-mas later this looks a bit different now...
But know I'm perfectly happy - I can get all degrees of overdrive/distortion I need and I have superb practice rig too.
I still have the HPF, but I use it just in front of my amp and also on occasions where I play without the board, that's why it's not on the board.

I had to "unlike" this so I could "like" it twice - twice.
 
Here’s my latest creation for a compact easy to carry all in one solution for both bass and guitar.
  1. The board is a 2 level NUX M (17.5” wide)!!
  2. Hotone bass expression/wah (small)!
  3. Line 6 G10s wireless
  4. TC Helicon Acoustic Play vocal processor
  5. HX Stomp
  6. Morningstar 6 button MIDI controller
  7. Digitech Loopman
  8. Truetone 12 spot
  9. Trace Eliot Elf (for now) :) sounds great
  10. Just waiting on my Straight Ahead Power amp to show up to complete this final config - 300w@8ohm and 500w@4ohm
I leave a 2x12 at our rehearsal studio and have 2-2x8 cabs as one option and a SL112 and SL212 s as my other option. I’m using 1 IR for bass and 1 for guitar, just have 1 small board with 2 AC plugs and 1 12’ speaker cable. This is the easiest “carry” I could come up with... my McMillan 12-Step also fits in this bag (plugs into my iPad Pro on the mic stand).

My practice board. This Broughton Messenger has an aux input and a headphone output so it satisfies all my home practice needs. It can also be used as my rig at band practice as well since we use in-ears only and I go straight to the board through the Messenger's DI.

The new Messenger is incredible. The form factor is tiny and it is feature packed!

First time I’ve seen a BeatBuddy in someone’s pedal rig on this thread. Too cool.
 
It's great for home practice and sometimes at band practice my drummer flakes and shows up late or bails entirely with little warning so with the BB we can still do some rehearsing.
Every time I come across this pedal online. It screams at me to GAS the tank up. A lot of positives and really no negatives that I can see. I just looked on Singular Sounds website and they’ve been attentive with occasional firmware updates. Last one was November 2019 (3.8.0). Ideally the initial configuration I have in mind is bass guitar+SansAmp Tech21+BB+Headphones. Even if the Tech21 at the beginning of the chain isn’t feasible. There’s several other options. Do you utilize the Content Manager on their website? And their forum looks active to.

TBH i just use it as a glorified metronome. I don't use 95% of the capability of it but I love the thing. At one point I had it connected to a synthesizer and it communicated fine with the synth and kept things synced up but that's about as advanced as I've ever gotten. Haven't visited the forum or updated the software.

No worries. It’s a top shelf metronome. I’ll probably wait till early next year and order one. I’ve got a set of strings that’s been lost somewhere in the postal service for about 20 days overdue(LOL). The BB’s got a lot of cool features at that price point. About time I put my foot on the GAS.
