Show me your compact pedalboard setup

I haven't done this in 5 years...
So, here is my current 'travel' board, which will change tomorrow after I retrieve my 'main' board from home.
The new thing for me is the Bass Box, which is pretty good for a practice pedal (only tried it with flat response headphones so far).
Gonna see if I can make the BB work as a cab sim for going straight to FoH/computer.

Same, my Oracle is the brain of my rig. Even tape labeled “the brain” on my case for it.
Nice! How are you liking the MicroBass II? I picked one up at a ridiculous price last fall and haven't had much of a chance to try it out. I really like the clean channel though.
Thank you,
Brent
I think the MicroBass is great, very good eq (especially in the A+B mode). All I need for bass guitar, goes straight to foh and inear monitoring.
Cool! My OCD would like to see at least that AB/Y switcher put onto the board itself, but it's also looking a touch snug at present to make it happen...
that’s just a pedal! it ain’t even on a board! hahaha
I believe I maxed out my PT Mini.
this is as compact as it's ever been
How are you using your LS-2? What's your signal chain?
Chain is pretty classic: BASS > G30 > HPF > tuner > BSW > Comp > VT Bass > chorus > MS60B > GEB-7 > LS-2 > AMP
More by happenstance than design, I placed the LS-2 at the end to see if it worked out as boost, which it does quite well. Bit of overkill I know, but it was sitting in its box at the time, so it made more sense than spending money.
It's very good IMO, good enough for me to store my EHX Bass Clone back in the box for now. I really like the Clone, I get a good 80s-ish sound with it (which works fine, I play in an 80s cover band), but the Mini is stilll piquing my curiosity. At this point, I can say it reminds me of a Boss CEB-3, but much warmer and fuller and more on the subtle side than other chorus pedals I've owned. I always wanted an Analogman chorus but don't want to put out that kind of $$$ at the moment, so this is a good (if not temporary) option. I've only had the Mini for a couple of weeks, so settings vary somewhat but right now I've got it on speed at 10oc, depth at 3 oc and mix at 9 oc. Those settings don't move much, but I'm not settled on the switch position. Bottom and top both sound good on bass (middle too thin) but I think the bottom position comes out a bit muddy through the headphones, while the top position seems OK. I'll know for sure using it through the amp at next band rehearsal. I use 15" speakers, so I'm anticipating the top position will work out better.
Back with my completed Bergantino Super Pre pb. TA Solo 18, Effectrode>SP, Cloudburst in the effects loop. Using the on-board tuner..
