Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Here are a few of mine, anchored by an Oracle. Nano+, Metro 16, and Metro 20. Top one is my current rig. The Doom is in the Merbl's fx loop so I don't need quick access to the foot switch.
This is some good stuff. Tight and clean.
The Opti-FET being as large as it is wouldn't do me any favors. It's always-on, so logically it should go sideways on the top rail, but it's too wide. The Cali76CB has it beat in that department. I'm not sure how I'd fit the stuff on my nano plus my Octabvre (old larger size) and Barbershop or Terraformer on one if I had it.
This is about as non-compact as a compact board gets. Pedaltrain Nano Max.
VT Bass DI will only be used in ampless situations.
Hopefully not too wide, we will find out.

The EBS for bass guitar and the Fishman for double bass.
I like my Rockboards, and the options for soft, flight, or molded cases. The recently came out with an almost Nano-sized one which I've been thinking to get for open mic situations, the other two boards I have feel too big for that.
Have you played an acoustic bass guitar thru the Fishman? I would love to hear your feedback if you have. I play ABG strung with flats a lot and very interested in the Fishman preamp despite I am quite happy with the tones I’m sculpting with the Tone Hammer.
No I only play double bass, not acoustic. The HPF, phase switch and notch filter work very well to fix feedback and unwanted rumble so it's probably well suited for acoustic bass as well.
I'm liking these EBS patch cords... The DCX is pretty cool too. Still dialing that in.

I had a few pedals lying around that did not make it to the main board so decided to put together a grab’n’go compact board. I am really liking this!…though a compressor and fuzz and octaver and delay would be nice…
Great looking board! What do you think of the Cyclone phaser on bass? I was very close to getting it myself.
It's fantastic. Good headroom, lots of options without any menu diving. Definitely an overlooked gem for bass.
Peace, Soundsupport.

Current gigging and rehearsal board.

Kewl-some of the li'l Joyo Iron Men are surprisingly good with bass and relative bargains that take little board real estate. I like the reverb and phaser. The wah is acceptable for occasional use but not great, and the compressor was a fail for me. I take it you find the reverb does what it needs to as well?

Yep. The reverb does all that I need for a live performance. Of course my needs are small... and so is the pedal.

Done with a new build of the board, having just gotten the Doom 2. Was hoping it would still fit on a metro 16, but I’m just about 0,5 inch short on the top row. So looks like I might be needing a slightly bigger board. Any suggestions still being as near as possible to the metro 16 in size? Was thinking about a mono 18 templeboard.
Feeling the pedals are pretty much set now, but the mbd2 might get replaced by modulation or some kind of magic tone sweetener.
