Very cool version with some tasty licks on both bass and guitar
Well, this is the best 3-pedal tone combo I’ve discovered to date. Really prefer compact pb’s…the smaller, the better. MBD2 is for fattening, without breakup. Much prefer the PC-2A footprint (vs my previous LA-1A) —still tube-licious…and, the S1 Neve “tone sauce” is in that red gain knob…
Edit/Add: I’ve also been testing a prototype Bergantino preamp…really amazing tone control/capabilities, and even simpler, pb-wise.

I've got 2-outta-3 of those pedals.
Guess which one I'm missing.
However, you gave me an idea: PC-2A > MBD2 > Broughton Studio Boost > Broughton Messenger.
Hmmm....
That’ll work! I used to own the original Messenger. Aside from the S1 red gain knob, the LPF is my most valued control for tone shaping…like to up the 3kHz treble knob, then set the lpf to taste—effectively creating what I used to do with my Broughton Resonance Filter pedal. So yea, Messenger eq capability and the SB would be a nice combo to add with the other two pedals.

Here’s my compact guy! Soldered everything to length
Nice! What’s that cool little extra stomp box for the HX?
Its from a company called pedalnetics, they 3d print these to use as extra switches for the Hx. Then you just mount em on top!
Pure tone. My perfect country/fly board.
Curious, why do you have the Khan upside down? Also, it’s amusing how each pedal is a step down in size.
I put the side with the XLR out towards the back so that I wouldn’t kick it or step on the cable and mess up the input jacks.
Not all hooked up yet, and I’d like to add an octave but we’re getting there!
Here's mine. We're a 3 piece, so when the guitarist dives into a solo, I use the lower two pedals for some grit and often an octave or 5th to fill the space. The JAM compressor and Microtubes stay on all the time. I have a rechargeable battery pack with enough power and outputs velcro'd to the underside. So, just into the tuner, and out to the combo amp (Custom Ashen 2 x 10).

Mine isn't compact. Lol. I have far to many pedals than is reasonable for a bassist. Lol
You can't tease us with something like that and not post a picture
Does anyone run their PSU with a battery powerbank? I know the CIOKS can be run from a battery, but I can't decide if 10000mAh is enough for 7 hours with 6 pedals.
