Man I swear these compact setups are getting bigger.

Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Yeah that wouldn’t qualify in my books as compact by any stretch. But I wonder: if that’s their compact board, how huge is their regular one?!
Thought it was the regular pedalboard post, sorry. Don't go all Rainman about it geeze. Don't worry Judge Whopner will be on a soon. Go organize your sock drawer or something.

...I don't believe that there are any parameters regarding "compact" ish or ness involved...
I'm moving a couple things around but still on two (2) Nano boards (Drive/EFX) + now I'm attaching small format stuff (Tuner/A-B/Switches) to the side of the Nano. I still feel it's compact, including under the board, but is more modular, now.

Really condensed things tonight. Korg mini-Pitchblack, Phat Phuk B, modified Benson Clone, MXR Octave.
Don’t understand the post but the username tracks
Like the simplicity here! What do you think of the Benson clone? That's a pedal I've always wanted to try, but never had a need for.
Time to rewire this lil guy (once again). I realized that I kept chasing crazy envelope filters, but honestly, the little Mooer Envelope does a good enough job. If I killed the volume pedal, this *could* fit on a Metro 18, but I really don't want to buy a whole new board and power supply to move back down to a board that officially qualifies as compact. And, I did a test run (before I cut some cables to length), and I like the space, and not having the mini pedals close together. Bonus shot of the amp I've been playing for the past four or five months. Upgrading from a little practice amp to a PF500/PF115HE changed my sound in a way that made me want to practice infinitely more than I was.
Chain: Mastotron -> Tuner -> Vintage Bass Octave -> Mooer Envelope -> JHS Whitey Tightey -> B3K -> Grey Stache -> Bass Clone.
Dropped a few things, switched out muffs and envelopes about a hundred times, but I'm really digging this setup.

I like the Benson a lot, but you there's a bit of a learning curve even though it's so simple. You have to decide if you want it to be more of a boost, an overdrive, or hard clipping type pedal. I like to use it for a touch of boost/overdrive to get a fuller sound. I think that if you drive it too much it gets kind of mid-clippy, so I avoid that and keep it just on the edge of breakup. It stacks nicely with the Phat Phuk B. I did a mod which gives you more room in the rotation of the drive knob before it goes into heavy clipping.

See this thread: removed a cap and switched two others: Son of Ben: let more bass through?
I ended up switching out C6 and C8 for 330n and removed C5
....and it's alive! Still needs its own heart though.
I love all those sliders lit on, although the uneven brightness makes me itch.
Still dealing with the rats nest LOL

Finally reached the end of the road! Loving the two Southamptons, especially the 5th gear. Never got the dirty boost thing until now and man it just makes everything sound better!
Finally played out for the first time in a while, and realized my nano board was still overkill. So, I'm entering one last stage of downsizing. Ordered a Nano+ and moving to a single row. So, I'll be joining y'all in more than spirit next week. I'm still debating whether or not to get a new, better power supply. Honestly, I'm fine with a 1Spot with the following chain: Tuner -> MXR Studio Compressor -> MXR Vintage Bass Octave -> MXR Bass Envelope Filter -> B3K -> Bass Clone. I can't imagine there's anything that should be too noisy in there.
Scaled down to two pedals, but does the Bob Ross Booster count of it's never been and never will be used?
I’m a big fan of the DC4 and DC7.
I was having some restart issues with the HX XL so I join 3 of the outputs together, Vs just two required for the regular HX. Leaves one for the wireless receiver.
Been wielding the J basses a lot lately...
