Recently pulled the SansAmp and plugged a Night Owl in front of the MBD2. Great combo for a single coiled J bass!

I’ve got other pb options…but finding this useful, so built myself a custom walnut pb. Can’t get anymore compact, and fits nicely in my Mono Tick 2.0

I love it! The Microtubes Infinity is a great piece of kit. Most of the time, I’m pretty sure it’s all I’d need.I’ve got other pb options…but finding this useful, so built myself a custom walnut pb. Can’t get anymore compact, and fits nicely in my Mono Tick 2.0
Honestly, unless I already owned both, if I wanted the AO drive with the Infinty, I’d just get an Alpha Omicron or something instead of a Photon. Overall, I feel the Infinity is a more matured and better designed offering than the Photon.
For acoustic and jazz:
for rock etc:
for outdoors (power):
I like having power on the board.

Two (2) Nano's joined with Velcro-Loc, with power by cable to the Eventide PowerMax, inside the Pedal Python, that also has the Meat Box SUB DI (under board) XLR cable and 1/4" out to amp.
It all packs up into the Mono Backpack
The Origin Effects BASSRIG SV is on the floor, if used.

I really like the XPND because I detest empty space on a pedalboard, but it's hard to get a power supply to fit under the XPND with the stock feet. I bought the following on Amazon and replaced the feet circled in red:
4 Small Round Bumper Cylinder Rubber FEET .700" H X .750 D
M5-0.8 x 16mm Button Head Socket Cap Screws, Stainless Steel 18-8 (304)
There is approximately 3 business cards clearance between the edge of the DC7 and the floor now

Wait, that's awesome. How'd you rig up the battery with the power supply?
I already had a set of power tools with 18v batteries from a popular British brand. I found a guy on eBay selling 3D printed battery connectors. I looked around and bought this power distribution box which has an 18v input: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07D8NTK6Y/ I also added an automotive style blade fuse holder to protect from short-circuit. More details here: Pedalboard powered by cordless power tool battery?
I'll throw in my 2 cents:

First ever pedalboard!!! I did it! I finally decided on a pedalboard size after years of procrastinating! No more dragging pedals on the floor and yanking patch cables!! (I've been playing with on-the-floor pedals for like 15 years, too 
)
Signal chain:
Behringer Octave Divider → Dr. J Soloman Bass Overdrive → M-Vave (formerly Cuvave) Fuzz → Twinote BBD Chorus (it's kinda meh) → L.R. Baggs Stadium Bass DI (always on with the built-in compressor)
Yes, I'm putting the fuzz after the overdrive, instead of the other way around conventionally... because I use an active Sterling by Musicman SB-14 bass. Somehow it helps with the impedance/buffer issue instead of running fuzz first. Not sure why exactly, but hey it sorta works.
The pedalboard is a local "boutique" brand, made out of mahogany with rounded edges and gaps for cable management... which I thought looked kinda cool. Pretty cheap too, around $10. Size is 35x25cm (13.7 x 9.8 inches)
Compact? Yes, sorta. Tidy? Far from it.
But I'm so hyped! Can't wait to test it onstage (and hope I don't mess up my tap dancing...
).

Well…moved on from the DG Infinity, and replaced with the QC (…a ‘few’ more $ needed, but still compact )

Curious what the tape strips on the DC7 are used for? Are they just labels to know which wire is going where?

Really happy with my two pedalboards. Really compact and give me the tones I’ve been looking for!
Taking comfort in the fact that others have separate mid and small-sized boards as well.
