Show me your compact pedalboard setup

[cnltb]

Here is my mini board.
I like to shape a particular clean tone, and also like a bit of dirt too when called for.
This is a DIY board made from a 10mm thick plate of aluminium. Fits inside a little cheapy flight case box too.

Is a Metro 20 compact?

This is an excellent board. If you rotated your Octabvre and Doom 180 degrees you could get one stomp activation. Unless they are both in the loop of your meatball clone, then never mind.

I thought about it, but I like the separation because I'm not always using them together.

Looks compact to me!

How do you like the Parabellum?

I quite like it. It's got a ton of gain on tap, most of which I'm not using, but the way it goes from soft clipped lows to hard clipped highs is super musical, and the breakup is so touch sensitive. Very different than the MBD2 it replaced, but I'm loving it so far.

it's a kill switch.

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.

I use a 10000 mAh battery pack that is also the power source for my pedals. I was skeptical going in, but this will last me at least 5 hours using 2 pedals on full time, and fuzz and octave when needed. Velcro'd to the bottom, wires all zip tied and clean. I just recharge the unit with a USC and it's good to go. I have a second charged and ready for backup. Says 10 hours of battery use, but I've never played a 10 hour show haha.

That is good to know! My Cali76 CB (18v) and Hudson Broadcast (24v) are the only two pedals I consistently have on. I might look for a ~14000 mAH one for that little bit of extra insurance.

I use a Cioks 4 + Anker PowerCore 13000. Based on the power draw of my pedals and capacity of the battery, this setup should last over 30 hours without a charge. I've used it on battery power for a few hours at a time, but I haven't really tested to see how long it lasts.

Signal:
Sonic Research ST-200 Turbo Tuner
Broughton SV-Pre
Becos CompIQ Stella
Darkglass Element -> XLR/Heaphones
Broughton Always On HPF -> Amp

Power:
USB-C input (top-right, above tuner)
Anker USB hub
Anker 13000mAh Battery
USB-C Power switch (above the Becos)
Belkin USB-C splitter
Cioks 4

The Belkin splitter allows the Cioks power supply to draw power from either the USB input or the Anker battery. The power switch interrupts the connection between the battery and the splitter to turn on/off battery power.

The Element is connected to the USB hub, so one USB cable powers the Cioks, charges the battery, and connects the Element to my computer for recording and loading IRs onto the device.

This is good to know! I added up all the power that my pedals draw and it is 420 (noice) so in theory a 10000 should last me 20 hours. That being said, the efficiency of a battery decreases as it depletes, but that would still give me plenty of power for a 7 hour day.

I don’t know if this qualifies as compact, but I made it as compact as I could!

 

[JeffTCS]

Compact doesn't necessarily mean small

Now THAT’S my kinda compact board. Super super pleasing to my brain how you chose that powerbank for that board. I literally just moved away from something pretty similar, but double the battery size and mounted under a Mono Pedalboard Lite +. I’ll post the new, slightly less compact board soon!

 

[Flamingo21]

I'm overhauling my pedal chain, which may even include construction of a compact two level board. In the meantime I threw this together this morning for a band rehearsal. A 210x270mm piece of floor carpet that velcro sticks to:

Valeton tuner
Mooer envelope
SD compressor
EBS Metal Drive
Broughton always on HPF

 

[13bass]

A BDDI and a tuner. That’s it.

Same pedals as before but in my previous attempt to make it as compact as possible with the shortest cables (mostly all 3"), I originally had the chorus on the bottom row and the phase and delay on top but upside down. Suffice to say, stepping on a pedal that's positioned upside down isn't optimal. This makes a lot more sense for my personal needs. I just needed to think it through better. All the pedals have a use over a three-set show, and any pedals I have to hit mid-song are in the bottom row. Happy!

How swell...
Any pics of this super cool, super compact board you boast of?

It is just a killswitch. Nice to have it ON when plugging all in and powering up. No pops or bangs. When ready, tap it and you're good to go.

I just tend to avoid all those unpleasant things by plugging into the amp last.
I do see the point though, for some situations when you do not have complete control.

 

[Hummergeist]

This is my latest attempt, and I'll be using it for a short live set early September. It'll be routed through a computer so I can use some extra fx for the last tune, which is basically noise-driven. Beyond that, I might add a loop out to another pedal for subsequent computer-free jams. Cioks 4 underneath, powering the 9v and 12v pedals.
