Show me your compact pedalboard setup

I did a little revamp. Here’s the latest iteration. Flow is tuner-thumpinator-linden-Vulcan-pork&pickle.

Here’s my medium sized board. Stereo DI to send two separate lines, bass and synth. Or a part of my bass signal before going back to the effects. I could plug in my tuner, send the signal to the first DI, go back in my chain and send a second line with all the effects. You know, the kind of feature I’ll never use!

Sweet board! How do you like the Aguilar DB925? Demos sound great, but always wondered how it worked as a boost only without a level control.

It sounds great! I also A/B'ed it with the sadowsky pre and it sounds different, less modern compared to the sadowsky and as stated in the specs, the eq points are wider. But yes, no volume is a bummer. You have to put it first in the chain and compensate by lowering the volume on your bass. It's nice as a tone shaper before going in the effects.

All this talk of Phasor's, Filters and Octaves.....
Thought I better post the latest updates to my little Metro 16
All powered by Cioks DC7 with a passive HPF (first in line) set at 30hz under there too.
This then feeds into a Mesa D800+ Preamp with variable HPF

How is the Mu Tron octave? Why did you pick that one over all the others (OC2, Aguilar, etc.)?

Also: How is the fuzz? I’ve never heard of them before.

Thanks.
