Show me your compact pedalboard setup

[BEADist]

I would call that my "well, that got completely out of control, and yet I want more"-pedalboard

 

[Adamixoye]

I’m not sure I can call my pedal board “compact” any more.

Those SA knobs

I've probably asked before, but do you have a link?

You ever tried any of the Source Audio stuff?

Those SA knobs

Thanks, I get them from Amazon, they can be tricky to search for and it's easy to select the wrong size. The 20x15.5mm knobs are the best size for the SA pedals. The supply / stock levels for both vendors is very changeable. If you can't find the colour you want, then it's highly likely to be back in stock a few weeks later from either vendor. There's Blue, Silver, Reg, Gold and Black in the Taiss range. They aren't particularly cheap, but they are worth it in my opinion.

Here's the UK links:

Lol, yeah! I've become a big fan of Source Audio gear. I never gelled with the SoundBlox range. But I really loved the One Series Aftershock. It set a new precedent in digital pedals and the first time I found Digital dirt really working well. It kind of started a journey with the brand. They do things very differently to other brands. They make one box solutions that tend to focus on one type of effect and they do them extremely well.
Most of their pedals are literally "best of breed" and their pedals have a habit of growing and taking over one's board. They are a lean small company that go toe to toe with the big corporates and make some of the most innovate gear available.
I'm a big fan of the Ultrawave, it's such an amazing piece of kit. I've written a number of dedicated patches for guys on this forum that use this pedal and were getting stuck with it. Uploaded them to the community, this impressed Roger at Source Audio so much, they are sending me a new Atlas Compressor as a token of appreciation. I'm totally blown away by their generosity. I'm not funded by them, I usually buy all of my own gear and I like the freedom to be able to buy the best. The Atlas is another in a long line of great products from Source Audio. They are (IMHO) the most innovative company in the guitar pedal world, they don't just re-use old algorithms and put a bunch of Cab sims and IR's on a pedal.

I can tell you that the patch you wrote (for me?) to create a worship pad has been working great on my C4. I combine it with an octaver, chorus, shimmer reverb, and plate reverb and it sounds better than the house pad.

Posted in the Spaceman thread as well. Loving how all these pedals interact with each other, and sound on their own. (well, except the tuner. It kinda does it's own thing.)

 

[arepa_funk]

Not exactly a permanent setup. I keep this small board by my desk and I switch the pedal lineup around depending on what I want to test or practice. I usually keep notes so that when I move stuff to the big board, the signal path makes sense (to me) and I can remember what stacks to shoot for.

 

[SumOne]

Possibly space for 2x mini pedals horizontally along the top. I could do with adding a small EQ/DI like the Q-Strip or MXR M81 or Bass Simplifier they wouldn't quite fit though so I'll perhaps need a smaller tuner (something like the Swiff tuner) and smaller compressor (perhaps a Spectracomp). Or I've got a One Control Hookers Green that could perhaps replace Mr Sparkle as overdrive (Gojira Fx Tube screamer type thing) but I'd be sad to see him go for such a small amount of space saving.

 

[Roxbororob]

Latest update (even though the Omnicomp is to the left it is before the OC2 in signal chain):

 

[Spectre1966]

My current. Just added the tech 21. I keep trying to get rid of the Plumes, but it's a solid pedal. On its own it sounds like it sucks out the low because of the mid push... but in a band mix, it really helps give the bass some presence (and the Q\strip adds mids back in). Also tried to ditch the StroboStomp because it's big and heavy, but I just like it way too much. So easy to see and I have the display on at all times.

For a while, I was able to get good sounds out of the Tall Font Russian muff, but for some reason I can't get it to sound good right now. Just sort of disappears or is too boomy or distorted. I've had it just right in the past, but have to readjust to this setup. The germanium boost side is great, though.

I have a Sansamp BDDI V2 going into my Q\Strip. It’s an amazing pedal.

Made a few changes and I'm really stoked to see what this sounds like live! The Two Notes Cab M+ is pretty legit.

I'd really like to have an external compressor (currently using a compressor model in the HX Stomp), but every time I try to build or plan a bigger board I keep coming back to this size. Even my Rockboard Tres 3.1 board is too cumbersome; I'll probably just sell it.

Luckily, the HX Stomp is an absolute godsend for players like me. The flexibility contained in this tiny box is just mindblowing.

Could you move the Tap up to the right of the Microtubes and then fit a Becos Mini in that slot?

Nope, not a chance. There's very little height to go on there.

Also, I need that tap switch up front and easily accessible.

I'm considering trying to jam a mini compressor under the board (since I never turn a compressor on or off during a set), but it's pretty cramped under there as well, especially with the height restrictions imposed by the slanting board.

It would have to somehow fit above the power supply, underneath the lip of the board, but I don't think there's any way of making it fit.

Trying to fit it below the power supply is not possible; there's nowhere near enough height clearance there.

Maybe a different compressor like the Fairfield Accountant?

The Accountant is the same size as most other mini pedals.

The only one I know small enough is the Henretta Orange Whip, but I don't think that's very suited for subtle bass compression.

 

[WG Plum]

Is a Nano Max considered compact?

pretty crammed down there…what do you use the a/b(split)-box for?
Is it possible to move it by the side of the 1spot?
