Show me your compact pedalboard setup

I also go by this line of thinking; I do occasionally have to fly out with my board for things, so want it to be able to come with me under the seat. To that end, I've got a PT Metro 16 (8" x 16") which is the absolute maximum sized board I can get away with.
Enforcing a size limit is important for me, because I know I'd eventually just convince myself to get a *slightly* larger board far too frequently
Updated - I’m getting a great variety of sounds out of the 6 preset spaces available on the C4!

It absolutely amazes me that apparently none of the manufacturers of pedalboards and luggage are thinking about these issues. If you take an instrument as cabin baggage, that counts as your one allowable piece of cabin baggage, so you are otherwise limited to a "personal item" that has to be able to fit under the seat.
So, if you want to pull off a fly gig without checking baggage, then your pedalboard and everything else you need has to fit in a fight tote. It's doable for a weekend, but there are no pedalboards currently on the market that size. If only a company like Mono would produce a flat board with a matching case that could take the board plus leave room for a change of clothes, personal electronics, and toiletries, I'd buy it, especially if I could get it in a matching set with a flight-worthy gig bag.
The Boss BCB-1000 is a standard rollaboard suitcase size, but then you can't bring your instrument, so either you check your instrument or you check your pedalboard. If I'm flying with my gear, I don't want to check anything but clothing. I want my instrument and pedalboard in the cabin.
If you're willing to re-stick/ connect a couple/few of your pedals upon arrival, a D'Addario XPND single row board telescopes down to 13.75" long and can "pop" to a max length of 24.75". That oughtta work. The double row goes from 17.5" to 31.75" . Sliding 'em back & forth requires no tools and takes about 3 seconds once the pedals are off, and only those pedals beyond 13.75 (or whatever length will fit under the seat) would have to come off for travel. I have single row version and like it, other than the fact that real estate underneath for the PS is tight.

Replaced my B7K Ultra and the Cali Compact Bass for a BassRig Super Vintage and the Empress Compressor. Decided to treat myself as I just got promoted in my workplace.
Also, I took the advice of a fellow Tber here, the OC-2 preset I found for my C4 is really good and decided to let go of my OC-2.
Going for a blue and industrial themed board. Compact setup for life!
Attached a quickie demoe here.

Yes. I think the octave presets on the C4 make it worth it for that tone alone.

Thanks so much man! I remember you were the one who recommended that OC-2 Preset to me. I keep forgetting the C4 has knobs, sometimes, I just click and try out the presets I forget I can tweak the knobs too lol. Also got the chance to rename presets in my DMC Micro so it's easier for me to pan between presets I've saved. Cheers!
Great sound. Throaty, full, cutting but not too aggressive. Nice one!
Yep! Great OC-2 sound and much more tweakable than an OC-2
If anyone is interested,
I made a quickie comparison of my C4 and OC-2 here:

Should work now. I changed the link to the one I posted in youtube =)
Works now. The C4 is operating on a preset? I still prefer the OC2, but that preset is remarkably good.
Yup it is. Tbh, there is some octave mojo on that real OC-2 but I love the preset too and the C4 allowed me to free up some space
I have to comment on how good the graphics on your videos are! I really dig them.
Thank you! I work as a UI Artist and graphic designer and thought it'd be nice to apply that in my videos. It makes it look more presentable. Also to make up for my lack of skill lolI have to comment on how good the graphics on your videos are! I really dig them.
Latest iteration: traded in the Orange Fur Coat and Source Audio Orbital Modulator and got stuff with a smaller footprint - Zvex Fuzzolo (AWESOME!!!) and MXR Deep Phase.
