Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Ok, I see a connector to the MS70 usb input that is connected with the wireless Midi connector that is connected to a blue box with SHRM on it. What is the blue box?
Finit for now. Added the Frederic Effects Bug Crusher, which is insanely good.
I know the board isn’t the focal point here, but I love what this setup did tonight for my beach gig!
Here's the latest iteration of my "gig bag pedalboard" which is a PedalTrain riser loaded with what you see pictured below.
New pic after some rearranging. I thought I had nailed it, until there wasn’t room for a cable to go from the Space Verb out to the amp.
As a sousaphone player I've been reading along in the Effects forum for some time to learn about all the different effects and to figure out what could work for the sousaphone. At the moment I've crammed this set-up on a Pedaltrain Metro 24, powered by a Cioks DC7. Definately not as compact as some other boards in this thread, but I still thought it might be nice to share 
Routing:
Eventide Mixing Link - to boost the microphone (Sennheiser e604) signal and to give the sound engineer a DI signal at the end of the chain
Mooer Noise Killer - always on, to eliminate the worst sound bleed on stage and some heavy resonating frequencies of my instrument. Some of my presets on the C4 are a bit sensitive to extra noise..
EHX Freeze - for the drones. I've put it in front of the chain so that I can still alter the drone
Cog T-16 - love this octave. Also tracks well, I really had issues with some other pedals (Boss OC3) in that regard
Boss PS-6 - mainly used as an octave. I find the sound to be really clean on horns, it works like a charm when I just want to add a bit of low without going for a different sound. The superbend feature is also a nice addition to make some drops or to play around with on drones.
Source Audio C4 - I've I could only use one pedal it would be this one. Octaves, filters, distortions and it tracks really good as well. I control the presets with the DMC Micro, which also has the AMT expression connected to it.
Source Audio Aftershock - Get some extra dirt sometimes. I don't use it a lot though, but it's nice that it covers the range from light overdrive to heavy fuzz.
EHX Bass Clone - might not be the ultimate chorus pedal, but it does the trick for me. Also nice to mess around with when using the Freeze for drones.
Darkglass Hyper Luminal - always on. I don't use it to really alter the sound, it mainly eliminates the biggest peaks from the filters on the C4. Also the Cog T-16 can really boost the volume which can be fun, but I'd also like to stay friends with our sound tech..

You got any recording? Would love to hear how a sousaphone sounds through an octaverAs a sousaphone player I've been reading along in the Effects forum for some time to learn about all the different effects and to figure out what could work for the sousaphone.

That Jazz bass is
Thank you! It was my #1 for years. It was supplanted by my 4003 for a while. It’s now reclaimed its rightful position.
It’s a USA Standard. I cracked the headstock on the factory neck. Got the Warmoth neck, changed to Lindy Fralins with a 10% overwind and La Bella Gold Flat strings.
The Precision wasn’t too shabby last night, either!
I still had a clip of some of my C4 presets, I've attached it to this post. I also used the first few of those presets in this performance:You got any recording? Would love to hear how a sousaphone sounds through an octaver
Btw, I see you're from Zürich. We're playing at Waldstock festival in Steinhausen this year
Hooked everything up, and the Bug Crusher has pushed the Fuzzolo off the board. The Bug Crusher does a fairly convincing fuzz, besides tightening everything up in the coolest way, and adding the Fuzzolo is too much - it obscures the Crusher effect. The Little Brute Drive and the SpectraComp sound great following the Crusher.New pic after some rearranging.

Going to a gear swap tomorrow at a music store with a good selection of weird pedals!

Really cool! I would describe you folks as danceable Jaga Jazzist. Also, I wouldn't mind hearing the sousa a bit more in that live mix
Ok, now back to your regularly scheduled programming of compact pedalboards!
Hey man thanks for asking. THe Xvive works fine for when I practice at home but anytime I am playing where there is WIFI it is pretty much useless. There have been shows where I can use it with just some background high-pitched hum. The last couple of shows it has been pretty much worthless as I not only have the high-pitched hum but it interferes with the wireless for my bass which is completely unacceptable.
The primary reason I am wireless is because I am prone to tripping over or getting tangled up in cables - not because I am playing massive stages in arenas. I would strongly recommend against the Xvive. Save your money for a system that is not 2.4GHz.
