Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Had a successful night in the studio yesterday. The SVG-DI delivered the overdriven B15 tone I was hoping it would. The engineer [also a bass player] loved the SGT and thought it sounded great. Looking to discover more interesting usable tones from this thang.
Put this together today. Never really fooled with pedals besides a couple multiFX and figured this will jam metal tunes fairly well. Definitely working out for couch practice

Playing at a “Jesus in the park” event today. Her is my board.
I have pedals attached with industrial strength dual lock. They never come off, but it seems like they move. After I took the photo o realized that the tone hammer pedal wasn’t aligned with the rest.
I find the clear (thicker) dual lock to be much stronger than the black low profile DL.
I have two small boards I am pretty pumped about. The top has two octave pedals only because I use the OC-5 for octave up solo sounds and the 3leaf for octave down sounds.
Just put these in a different order and like this better.
Maybe not your idea of “compact”, but this is down from a Mono medium board that I felt was getting out of hand. Certainly more “modest” than my previous build. 6 items were removed to get to this. I guess I consider this the "essentials"...
And why didn’t anyone tell me about these Turbo Tuners? I’m late to the party and they’re completely ace.

yes I am, I’ve ordered longer ones to use the pre fx loop, but size should just work:
A little video featuring my pedalboard to give a super quick demo of the Capo but also features the Model FeT and Longsword.
I've recently just got hold of the EAE Halberd but still getting to grips with it.

The new arrangement: The Main Pedalboard is an always used pb, then I have the Effects/Synth Pedalboard for those times when needed. Much better and functional than the large heavy pedalboards I was using 5-6 yrs ago.
The Aux board runs in and out of the effects loop in the Bergantino Super Pre, and is accessed by hitting the MEM 2 preset button.
I had a little help dialing in a great couple of synth sounds on Friday also, while I swapped out the wiring harness on his new Lull IMA4 bass! Great time, great hang.

That's rad! Thanks for sharing. Out of curiosity, why the harness swap? I would assume on a signature he'd get whatever he wanted straightaway.
I did a search on the il torino and was just looking at your post from a few years' back. Still diggin' that pedal then? It intrigues me...
It’s a great pedal. It isn’t always the best choice, but it’s never a bad choice. It has two modes, a three band EQ, and is very transparent compared to other drives. Sounds great on guitar. And although I’m currently in my honeymoon phase with the red llama and prefer it to the Il Torino on bass, the Il Torino stacks nicely into the red llama and makes it sound even better. In fact, the Il Torino can also rev up the Super 300 into higher gain territory without actually changing the overall tone of the Super 300.
It’s pretty hard to find, and for some people that adds to the cool factor… I don’t care about that, but it does make me reluctant to flip it.
I took it with me when I was looking for a better/cooler/more booteeky transparent drive, but the Il Torino sounded better to me than a bunch of heavy hitters from high end makers.
Yes, but they had experimented with different Pots, and he was trying Audio Taper, but decided that the Linear Taper was more to his liking. Lull made up a harness and I simply did the replacement for him. His normal tech was on the road, so he asked if I could do the swap for him. I was glad to do so.
