Show me your compact pedalboard setup

I've been using them ever since seeing the alchemy that @Rocksolid does on his boards, but I have issues with them on back loaded pedals with them fitting near each other and the power cable, such as on a Fliptop or other such sized pedals. I'll take a picture.

I posted this months ago but have yet to buy and try these to remedy the issue: https://www.amazon.com/MAKA-Profile-Effects-S-Shape-Right-Angle/dp/B07D7Q15CL/
These appear to have a smaller plug footprint.

Since I'm in Canada, I switched my board out to Tourgear Designs cables. Great cables with lots of length options and they do both C and S shape cables. They've worked out quite well on my OBNE Signal Blender that has 6 cable input/outputs and two 9v jacks on the top side.

Looks interesting - how is the QC on those? The MAKA I posted seems to have a lot of negative reviews.

Rethought my upright bass pedalboard. I use a separate “clicky” pickup for roots/rockabilly, so I got a second Line6 G30 wireless. I made sure to leave enough room to insert cables in case my wireless receivers goes down. The clicky goes through the optional reverb and into channel B on the EBS SCBPA, while my bridge pickup goes into channel A. The Eventide H9 is useful for subtle modulation effects and of course, the tuner. I’m also currently making a much larger pedalboard and if all goes according to plan, will be able to connect the two using the H9’s FX loop. Also solved my noise and power issues with the Strymon Ojai. Overall, I’m happy with this fun little utility board.

Just reached a somewhat final version of my pedalboard for the band I have now. Replaced the Zomm MS60 for a proper phaser pedal, just because it's the only effect I really use, and only for a few seconds of just 3 songs. So, the fewer, the simpler the better. Phase 90 has a great sound and it only has 1 knob!.

The rest is basic. MXR Bass DI+, Custom CMOS, B3k Clone Overdrive, EBS Multicomp allways on, warwick rocktuner. Thats it

You could sell the Utility Knife, TFR, and Blueberry and then have enough for a used HxStomp and a 2-button expression pedal and have all those sounds you sold, plus all the reverbs you could ever want, and everything else that comes with the stomp (compressors, amp sims, cab sims, HPF/LPF filters, EQ's, tuner, etc. The Stomp also has an effects loop if you wanted to embed your leftover pedals somewhere within it's chain of blocks..and it should fit on your board fine. Plus, everything would have sweet top jacks!

Oh also, the Stomp can double as a DI box (with a TRS to XLR cable) and it has a headphone jack.

That would definitely cover pretty much all bases but it's not happening! That BJFE is not leaving me until the day I snap, sell all my pedals and buy a Wal! The HxStomp looks awesome if I ever want to go the multi effect way though!
