Show me your compact pedalboard setup

#7,281
Tried to downsize, did some trading, couldn't leave well enough alone.
Changes:
  • Big change: Hated how the D'addario XPND case alone was as much as a Metro 20 pedalboard... so... bought a Metro 20. Went back from a wall wart to a CS6 power supply
  • Moved from EHX Bass Clone to MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe. It's just so much more versatile.
  • Moved from Bass Big Muff back to Fuzzrocious Grey Stache. See Bass Clone... it's just so much more gnarly, and versatile.
  • Moved from Vintage Bass Octave to T-Rex Quint: The VBO does the OC2 thing very well, but I wanted something a bit weirder (and they were 50% off on Sweetwater).

Audio Source EQ2 is magic!

Signal path:
EQ2 (left) -> Cali76 -> PSA 2.0 -> EQ2 (right) -> Collider.

With the EQ2 I model popular pre-amp eq frequencies from amps like SVT, Eden, Trace Elliot, etc., with the left channel. PSA 2.0 give me the tube harmonics and in some cases overdrives. EQ2 right channel models the amp's final stage options like bright, deep, and contour switches on popular amps.

My Mesa and SVT4 Pro models are uploaded to the Audio Source community. Feel free to check them out and fiddle-faddle around with 'em.

Pedal Train Mini powered by a Cioks DC5

And now completely replaced in 2023…

Rockboard 2.0 with the same Cioks DC5 underneath! Put together over the last three weeks with the Ictineo arriving today to round it out! Covers EQ, preamp, compression, tuning, recording, DI, silent practice and a few flavours of drive in the most compact setup! Very happy with it!!

I'm confused you have two outputs where do you merge them?

Since I posted last time, everything's been replaced. I'm using this for a gig next month because I need those specific effects, then I'll probably swap them out for a decent compressor. Powered by a Cioks 4 underneath. No noise issues so far! I probably won't both tidying the cables any further until after the gig as well. This will be going direct to mixer/PA.

Wow, have not seen that one! Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Totally versatile, intuitive, and very effective, whist being very transparent.

I shopped long, and hard (almost bought a rackmount, then a Becos), before settling on the Keeley Compressor Pro, so my recommendation does not come flippantly. Plus, their Customer Service is over-the-top, excellent!
