Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Think I’m at the end of the road ladies and germs. This one covers everything I might need in a compact footprint with just the right amount of tweak ability onboard (and tons off board).

Tuner, HXS, BMS and AS in FX loop, into Atlas, then Messenger. *chef's kiss*

Rad board ! Long live the BMS.

Finally got the missing piece, Origin Effects BassRig '64 Black Panel. I'm happy now! View attachment 4904876View attachment 4904876
I’ve got several of same pedals, albeit in a different configuration. How are you using the MC3?

It controls everything except the Bassrig. I have a couple of pages with sounds I use, some of them includes all the pedals and some just one or two. On the Stomp I have a boost, chorus and reverb on the foot switches. I even have two pages on it for guitar so the pedalboard does dubble duty. Then I just bypass the Bassrig and have amp and cab sim on the Stomp.
 
Hello Tb’ers!
Added the Laser etched Cali76 to my compact board this morning. sounded great , i got carried away from playing and got to work late lol ! Have a happy holidays tbers! wish you guys all the best! cheers! View attachment 4911150
Some killer pieces right there!
 
Downsized one last time. I realized that I pretty much never used my Bass Clone / Bass Octave. I was on the fence on the Envelope Filter, but I feel like the board is a fair size now.

Hot Wax replaced my B3K. Bass Big Muff gets me where I want to be with fuzz, and the studio compressor / bass envelope filter are pretty much exactly what I'd want / expect from them.

I have, at some level, completely de-boutiqued my board, but I've never been happier. As I've been playing more and more guitar, I realize I like to let the guitar do the heavy lifting when it comes to effects.

I've also been de-boutiquing my board a bit. Hard to think I can replace my Broughton Scorpion and JoshWah though.
Is Keeley Booteek?

I will say that the JoshWah is a *great* envelope filter. I especially liked the driven envelope sound. Keeley's probably on the line. That being said, I love Keeley (and Broughton, and all of the other stuff... but I realized I have invested way too heavily in gear, relative to how much I play anymore).

For me, I have a hard time defining *boutique.* When I think of boutique, my mind sortof drifts to things like FLWR Pedals / JAM Pedals / etc. The hand-wired non-mass produced stuff. Which, to be fair, I guess my old board really didn't have any of that, anyways... but my rig slowly got bigger, and bigger, and bigger, and I realized 'holy cow, I only ever use drive and compression' The other stuff just sits there taking up space.

the Broughton is def more of a driven sound. Totally agree.
