Show me your compact pedalboard setup

It's pretty slick. I was running it at high gain and more of a distortion pedal for a while. This last weekend, I saw the owner dialed in a bass preamp setting (Instagram post, maybe?) and I gotta say - I like that setting even better. Big fan of their stuff. I've got a Fuzz, and just ordered a Drive.
I’ve tried every pre/DI out there and finally landed on this Shaw. It’s the sound in my head I’ve been searching for.
after some time having two Pedaltrain boards, I retired them and use my NYC Cases Lunchbox again.
I'm able to mount on it everything I need except the DI (which I carry separately). I think, there's some room left for the HPF.
in fact, almost all of the pedals here are something I sold and bought again, with the exception of the tuner (went in some love-hate phases with it, but it didn't sell fast, so I still have it).

Totally worth it, then.
The price might be steep, but I fully understand that it's not cheap to build the thing and the cost of some of the parts (that are getting harder to find) will drive up the cost, too. Quality rarely if ever comes cheaply.
I'm a tuner junky... what do you love and what do you hate about the StroboStompHD?
like:
1. display
2. accuracy
2. auto-on on power on or insert jack
don't like:
1. side buttons (easy to accidentally press when you have no pedalboard)
2. how the bypass sounds (nor true, nor buffered). to me the true bypass in Pitchblack Advance sounds more naturally. was eagering to try the TurboTuner in this regard, but didn't get my hands on it yet.
Price really isn’t steep. When you decide to go total IEM you must think like what would I spend on a amp? Then it makes sense.
Here’s mine:
Boss TU-3 —> Darkglass Microtubes X Ultra —> Ibanez Flanger FL9 —> EHX Canyon w/ Tap Tempo
On a pedaltrain metro 16.
This was the board I used to finish tracking on the EP I'm working on.
Xotic RC Bass Booster -> EQD Bit Commander ("nofriendo" edition) -> MXR Sub Machine -> MXR Micro Flanger -> Keeley Bassist.
The ones on the bottom row are super subs, didn't end up using them. Had many others waiting to check in too, but they weren't appropriate for the tunes.

Last night's jam board. This is about as compact as I get.
DONE!!! I've bought/sold/traded a lot of pedals over the last couple of years, and finally my pedalboard is complete; these are the "keepers." Thank you to all of my TalkBass trade partners (you know who you are), for helping me figure out what I like (and don't like). I am 100% GAS-free up here in tone heaven. I was jamming on my fretless this afternoon, and with the two compressors, the sustain and 'mwah' were just off the charts. 
Currently they are wired in this order (though I reserve the right to switch the order around in the future): TC Polytune > Foxpedal Killface > Origin CB76 > Union Lab > Broughton L+HPF > RNDI
The board is a PT Metro 16 with road case, the cables are EBS flat patch, and not shown is the TrueTone CS6 power supply.

looks like it was made for that board. Question - RNDI is last in the chain? DI to FOH and output to amp?
No gigs for me at the moment
but the RNDI sounds great into my audio interface, for home recording. Yes, it is last in the chain, and yes, it does require phantom power (but I also carry a passive Radial DI to gigs, just in case there's no phantom). The 1/4" Thru jack is on the front, to connect to my amp. One of the very first things I tested, as soon as I got the RNDI, is whether or not the Thru works without phantom power, and the answer is YES.In the event my pedalboard were to lose power on a gig, I could quickly swap my instrument cable to the RNDI, and it would stay powered by the FOH's phantom power.

Here is my newly assembled pedalboard!
Will be using it for my party band and wedding gigs.
The little black box am I using like a patchbay. To connect my URB for doubling gigs, or when I want to extend my board with my VT Deluxe.
Pretty sweet I must say
