Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Absolutely how I wound up here. Am in the less is more camp these days... I like clean boost a lot now. It just makes the difference. I'm +50 so I can say this; It's like trying to read something, and then grabbing your reading glasses and it becomes much easier to see.

I posted a pic of my board with a spectra drive on the end a few posts back. I should have clarified that I have the "drive" part of the pedal loaded up with a clean boost.
I get this...I’m a Darkglass artist and I only use it with the drive all the way down. Even with the B3K all the way down it just gives a little bit of push that I want and that is all I want.

I'm doing the sacrilege of using a B7K Ultra as a cleanish tone and the distortion kicks in a more vintage tone. Probably not the designed intent.

If that works for you that is awesome...I prefer a clean tone %90 of the time.

Is there any benefit to using the cabzone with a preamp that has cab sims? Would love to see how you are using it on your pedalboard.
I just use the shift line Olympic mkIII with ampeg 810 cab sim as my DI and run a little dirt and comp with it.
Sounds like you might be using the cabzone as your DI. Is that correct?

Unfortunately, I haven't CabZone X because I haven't free money.

Yes, there is a cab simulator in Olympic MkIII, but only two options can be used, and in CabZone X there are much more options, and its dimensions are small.

Now I use that ↓
