That sounds awesome, but you know the rules.
I have moved from small pedalboard to even more compact one. BCB-30X is really durable and light case. Three switches on GTKCore are just enough - compressor, pitch shifter (-1 semitone), channel switch (Natural / X-Drive). And Peterson Strobostomp HD is the best tuner I have ever had. I should live with buil-in one tuner in GTKCore but Peterson's are much better (and bigger).

More importantly, the tuner in the Core really doesn't do alternate tunings well, which is why I don't rely on it.
If I were going to go that route, however, I'd keep the tuner out of the BCB box and put an FS-7 dual footswitch in there.
I like the Boss Core tuner. I have it set for the strobo single note mode and the polytune BEAD mode (5 steps down) on the same screen. The polytune picks up really quick.
Small and simple. There's just enough room underneath to hang a Joyo power supply by velcro.

Well, I posted this board in here awhile ago. While I thought I was done, and it couldn't possibly get any bigger, it did. Been exploring more experimental music lately, and wanted some synth sounds, so enter the SY-1. Since the FDeck HPF doesn't have a switch, the SY-1 is velcroed and piggybacking on top of that. Had to daisy chain the power for those two together, but it doesn't seem to introduce any noise. I've got the Super 300 and Joshwah running in the SY-1s effects loop which is good as I don't want any additional dirt on the synth. Nice feature. I have the dual switch for the SY-1 as a little satellite, as it's not always needed.
Was a little worried that the SY-1 wouldn't work with my upright, but it totally does. Still reasonably compact, I think.

Nice one @walking_line; seeing a fully stuffed/maximized pedalboard is always quite satisfying!
Haha, thanks. I already feel like I schlep too much gear, so I must… resist… upsize… temptation…
Here it is, my latest pedalboard....
I am still learning bass, so still playing with pedals.
Nothing really special. I love the Quint for both bass and for sax. Adding the fifth in the notes is really fun.
I use the delay to practice consistent repeated notes. I set the delay to a speed I want to play, then as I play repeated notes, I can easily hear if I get off tempo or if my regularity strays. Finding it is a decent teaching tool for me.
The board is a new idea I have been developing over the past couple months. I detailed it in this thread.

I'm sharing my board between guitar and bass at the moment. This is what I'm using now. That Wooley clone in the middle is stank ass nasty. Lol. I love it.
Oh come on what's wrong with me? I can't stand still!!!
Anyway, the Joy Orange Juice is simply awesome.
...and the color scheme is totally unintentional!

The underside holds a Micro-Thumpinator and a CIOKS SOL.
The Midi controller is the M Vave Chocolate, and the blue box is a phone charger to power the M Vave MS-1 Bluetooth to the Zoom. The Zoom handles all my FX, and the Chocolate allows me to switch presets.
