Show me your compact pedalboard setup

View attachment 5092170 Threw together the absolut minimum for last nights rehearsals. I use other pedals for my amp and dirt tones, but can recreate everything pretty well on the stomp. It only takes a few blocks.
Still got blocks over for sub octave, pitch and chorus.
I've tried to move away from the Stomp a few times for various reasons, but I just can't get away from it, it's just such a great bit of do-it-all kit!
 
Here is my current practice home board! Cioks DC7 underneath

Yep, sometimes I use it as my “amp/preamp”, sometimes as a pedalboard for pitch, chorus, filter, delay, tremolo. Other times as a dual mixer for different synth’s, or have vocals go through it. It’s just a fantastic little piece of possibilities.

Me too. I just add the Cali Compressor because I just love it. It just requires to give it time, but it's an amazing piece of kit.

Just put this one together. I have gone completely back to an analog board. I tried the whole modeler thing (Quad Cortex / Helix) and it isn’t for me. Besides, the Noble sounds to good to be sitting in a case!

I added a DCX Bass in between the Cali and the Morley. The Peterson tuner was needed to fit on the board (Metro 16 that lives in a hard case).

I have a gig with my main band tonight and tomorrow afternoon. Fill-in gig tomorrow evening. Main band Sunday afternoon and Monday night for a blues gig. All but the fill-in and Monday are beach gigs. Woohoo. This board will get its reps in this weekend!

I just posted a cheap Polytune 3 in the classifieds if anyone wants it!
 
I dig that new Peterson tuner. Had one preordered but cancelled before it shipped. Does the stick-on velcro actually stay on the bottom? The issue I have with the larger version is the rubber seems to chemically reject the adhesive.

It’s holding together as of now. I’ll update after the gigs over the next few days. I’m sure I’ll have some “action” shots!

I have started using Gaffer's Tape on the bottom of all my pedals and it works fine as long as you overlap the edge a bit. Works great on my Boss, Digitech and DanElectro pedals that were always difficult.
 
Here’s the “PortaStomp” on top of my Pedaltrain Nano for comparison.

Ok, I’ve been waiting for a while to post this.
All the pieces have finally come together, and it’s been thoroughly tested.

This is a custom board made by Jason at Pedalnetics. Here’s a video from him that explains probably better than I can.

I have also added the Heauxy Duo switch from Pedalnetics as well to complete the portability and functionality.

The battery pack is 20,000Mah, and has been tested to run the stomp for over 5 1/2 hours continuous use, with 2 lights remaining on the battery meter.

I have the Stomp attached with Dualock, and it is very sturdy.

I have debuted it at one gig so far, and I believe I am now pretty well set. The Stomp covers everything I need for my cover bands, and my originals band as well.

Portability and not wanting to rely/connect to main power has now been achieved with flawless results.

Thank you Jason (Pedalnetics).

Dude that's awesome!!! I'm sitting here trying to make something similar and failing... Maybe an HX Stomp is the answer I'm looking for.

In short I have everything I need in the Adam except the octaver and I would like a delay. The delay is not something I need just enjoy playing with one. I came up with a solution for the cordless board but wanted something more tidy and ordered the mission engineering block. Well the mission thing isn't quite what I expected. It would be a great solution for a single multi FX but as a power source for multiple pedals it requires a bunch of adapters and daisy chaining which I'm not a fan of.

That’s cool.
I know Mission makes a variety of power converters. The 529 works perfectly for me because I only need to power one pedal.

I don’t use many effects these days so I made myself a wireless utility board using a D’addario XPND 2 pedal riser. The cheap power supply from Amazon was a friction fit but an added strip of Velcro where you can’t see gives some extra hold. Stick on feet gave me perfect ground clearance for the plugs. I spent way too long wrestling the extra cable length and I’ll be looking for some short right angle on both sides cables, but this will do for now.

Thank you so much for posting this! I was also using the Daddario pedal riser for my modest pedal needs and just using external power supplies. I was struggling looking for a better power option that could fit. Your suggestion was perfect! I used it last night at an outdoor venue with limit/questionable power and it worked great
