Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Great minds…. That was my setup, but I swapped the MXR comp. Out for a keeley bassist and that’s all ya need!
I rocked that setup for a few years. The Keely with the Sansamp I mean...
My Sansamp was the Para-DI. Ive never owned their Bass DI.
I switched it up a while back when they got a whole new FOH setup at church. Board, IEM's the works...
I sounded plenty good with what they dialed in.
Then COVID happened. Church went on Hiatus in 2020 when everyone was sheltering in place.
I hadn't used my sansamp/keeley pedals in a while before covid, and wasn't playing anywhere post covid, so sold them to contribute to the finances of a 32" Warmoth. - It's done now, and great little bass btw...
As it now turns out, I have:

This little setup gets it done. - When everyone got back to in-person church services again, it was a new BL. I guess he prefers floor wedges, so we're not on IEM anymore. I monitor thru my little GK 10" amp, which is plenty, and find this to be a fine little setup. I send a pre-eq DI out of the back of the amp, and everyone is pretty happy, so rolling with this for now. It sounds pretty good, and in my opinion, actually better that the GK Sansamp setup I had been using.
I can use the makeup gain in the compressor pedal to push that little GK amp a bit and then EQ accordingly. The extreme tails of the eq are chopped with the HPF/LPF accordingly.
 
My current compact board--put here as a reminder because two of the pedals are about to get replaced.

Bass > Sennheiser XSW-D > Damnation Audio MBD-2 > Broughton SV-Pre > TC Electronic SpectraComp > Broughton L+HPF > Radial ProDI. Pedaltrain Nano+, Truetone CS6 underneath.

My main band plays ampless, hence the DI onboard. Incoming changes are a Broughton Omnicomp to replace the SpectraComp, and, perhaps surprising to some--a Master Effects Super Two Hundred instead of the SV-Pre. I really really like the Broughton, don't get me wrong. It's been my go-to Live pre for what feels like ages. But as much as I like it, I've always loved Orange's voicing, compared to Ampeg-y voicings. So, yeah. Looking forward to it.
 
ok. Went away from pedals when I got my BAmp. The Origin Bass rig got me back. and I love the empress, and if I just bring my pedalboard to a backline gig I need a HPF. Nice thing is I can power them all with the USB on the BAmp. or a 1spot if no Bamp. Kills on top of my Quilter as well, and on top of my 300watt Warwick Gnome.7 inches wide. The platform (is a pedalboard riser) is from these guys... FP-8 Pedal Riser — FIX Pedalboards

These are my latest 2 incarnations. The first board is used weekly at church, and occasionally recording.
Polytune > Hyper Luminal > Octavbre MK1 (Tim tuned mod by Spencer) > Mantic Hulk (Meatbox clone) > VMT > OmniCabSim > Noble DI > house

The other for “rock” gigs with an amp (anything from Texas blues to jazz fusion).

Accountant Compressor > Proton (compressor gets turned off when using) > Octavbre MKIII > Super Russian (Muff + Phat Phuk in one) > Anadime Chorus > Polytune > Micro Thumpinator > amp

OnceDay_bassPB_rehearsal_at_15-09-2022.jpg


The other day I bought an almost new Shure VHF Diversity Receiver + Shure T1G Transmitter.
Yesterday I checked it at a rehearsal and was very pleased with both the convenience and the sound.
The musicians in my band also liked the sound.
We are preparing for a concert in honor of the first birthday of our group
(I also play bass in another band) which is scheduled for October 01 to test the equipment on stage.

The Super Russian is an under-appreciated pedal.
