Show me your compact pedalboard setup

I prefer the Canvas to the JDI. The JDI tends to soften the sound just a bit. The Canvas has more bite. The Canvas sounds more scooped. I think that is probably because the JDI has more mid-emphasis.

Yep...the JDI is known to color the tone slightly. The Canvas was designed to pass the tone straight through while still being transformer isolated.

Not exactly the common use of the term 'pedal board' but it is compact and portable.

Decided to get my first bass pedal. Tuner. I don't need any effects at this point--my current skill level makes enough of its own 'special' effects on its own. I didn't really want a board on the floor. I also did not want to attach velcro to the amp surface. Decided to design and 3D print my own single pedal holder that mounts under the handle clamp. Turned out pretty well. Still a little tweaking of the design I could do.

Here’s the latest iteration of my board. Just swapped my Hot Tubes OD for a Pork & Pickle. Loving that tone so far!

NPD: TC Electronic Echobrain! 50% useful, 100% chaos. (by that I mean I'm not gonna use this on every song. no way. great for ambience/outros/psychedelic stuff)
So I had to update my board... it's super compact, sure, but still a mess. Gonna need longer patch cables to reduce the tension in some places, but otherwise, along with the (also recently acquired) free TC JUNE-60 I got from my friend, I couldn't be happier with this setup! :hyper:

Actually pretty good! Perfect if you don't wanna mess with settings, the presets are perfect imo, just slow or fast wobble (or both simultaneously if you want). No blend either, which is ideal for me since I either go full chorus or none at all, never needed in-betweens.
As for the low end, feels like a little bit is lost, but nothing drastic. To be fair, I haven't tried any bass-specific chorus pedals, so I feel like the subtle low-cut is a normal thing, in my experience at least... (usually I just compensate with more Bass on my onboard EQ)

I've been laid up with COVID (just tested negative!) and thinking about what "really" makes an ideal compact pedalboard. For me, I think it has to have a clean and dirty option, some kind of preamp out, tuner, and some kind of modulation. That's it. Anything else is extra and fun, but not essential. How do other people break down the ideal "compact" pedalboard.

And right now, for me this is: clean (diamond bass comp jr), dirty (VT bass di), preamp xlr out (VT bass di), modulation (carbon comp delay/joshwah). I also have an EQD westwood for fun, but wondering if that's necessary.

Saturday night project that ebbed into Sunday morning. Stereo chorus into stereo Space Echo. One out into Tone Hammer, second out into Black Ash. I can go FOH from TH, and/or into an amp via the Black Ash. Or use the TH into an amp, sans Black Ash. Or run both into my 4 hole 2 channel SVT. All that pends is an 18v 500ma wall wart to power the TH from the front AC jack on this particular Voodoo Lab power supply.
