Show me your compact pedalboard setup

I figured it out, you put some type of jewel lens to disperse that led light.
How do you compare the filters in Spectrum and Future Impact?
Updated…added a SushiBoxFX MORE—takes my PC-2A (and overall bass tone) to another level…
My small board. Just got the C4 and the DMC Micro. What an amazing pedal!
Signal chain:
Bass > OC2 > C4 Synth > Compact Bass > B7k Ultra > XLR Out
Really love the cabsim of the B7KU. Currently using the IR Pack by Shiftline. Love it so much!

Looks great! Not sure how exactly you are running your C4 with the Micro, but, there is a very good OC2 preset out in the Neuro community for the C4. Maybe the C4 could replace your OC2 making room for something else?
My current band board now qualifies
I’m a DB player but I have a little board I use with my loud touring band with a magnetic pickup.
Aguilar Octamizer > Aguilar TLC Compressor > Bassbone OD (into channel B) > Korg Pitchblack Mini. Board itself is a Pedaltrain Nano, power supply is an Eventide PowerMini. You can also spy my earplug holder and an allen wrench to adjust my pickup’s pole positions on the fly. I also have a spare patch cable velcroed to the bottom of the board, in case I get an dead connector on stage.
This board is mostly utility pedals (save the octave) but it seems like it always sends a strong signal to the FOH.
Very limited quantities, handmade, rare/unobtainium components, reputation, boutique allure….just a guess.
It might even sound great too.
I'm on my bigger mini board lately, a Metro 16. This adds the two 3Leaf Audio pedals to my standard Nano+ setup. Our band is ampless, so this is the whole bag of nails. As I said elsewhere, this last gig I sounded like Willie Weeks without the talent, and what you see below was the entirety of my load in.
Random thought........in looking back at a bunch of posted boards trying to determine what might be subjectively chosen as parameters to define "compact", I like 8 pedals as a maximum. A definition based on board surface area would probably be even better, but I don't know where I'd draw that line. In my head, once the number of pedals gets to 9, 10 or more, it's no longer compact.
I think that function as well as Feng Shui must be considered, too...

That's a good point. I had not considered efficiency/ compactness of the layout itself. I guess we'll need a 300 person committee to derive a 50 point set of criteria to define "compact" LOL.
They are half of that direct (but you have to wait) but as you see reverb re-sellers will do what they do. Its a very fancy custom muff tweaked for bass from a famous Japanese guitar tech which he makes in very small volumes. I've been using a wren and cuff pickle pie B for years and years for this band but got this on a lark and was a bit shocked that I actually loved it. I replaced the pickle a few practices ago and played our last show with this and it all just felt right. The additional controls don't overwhelm using the pedal but offers well considered functionality to 'change the platform' while keeping the primary control simple.
That's cool. I would be sad to put my foot on it though lolThey are half of that direct (but you have to wait) but as you see reverb re-sellers will do what they do.

Naww - it's a fancy tool, but still a tool. When it becomes ONLY a collection, I'm out.
If the two nanos velcroed together works for you, cool, but you might like the Voodoo Lab Dingbat Small-EX, which is 18”x10” (which is a pretty unique size, and it’s also slanted instead of flat).I think that function as well as Feng Shui must be considered, too...
