Show me your compact pedalboard setup

this board arrangement has been the longest without me having the urge to change any of it. i only jam with one band for now and this board covers everything we play. it sounds delicious to my ears and keeps the groove in play . for me this is a compact board because i tried to fit the pedals i need on a mono small board powered by a cioks schizophrenia so i could power all the pedals plus the arkham oracle using its main output.

Let me help change those urges :D
just incase you hadn't seen it as I see your Strobostomp hanging off the edges of your board, they released a Mini version that is awesome:

Pretty simple setup - This goes into a Fender Super Bassman.

Why two tuners?
I prefer to have an always-on tuner display, so the StrobostompHD is my always-on tuner.
The Shure GLXD16 is primarily a wireless unit. It does have an always-on tuner mode, but compared to the Strobostomp (or a Polytune), it isn't the greatest.
Same with the HXStomp. It can have a live tuner mode, but then I lose the screen view and footswitches to control effects.

Or as I joked to another musician, I went and clipped on 3 clip-on-tuners to my headstock and told him I needed a separate tuner for each string of my 6 string bass :laugh:

I replaced my diamond bass comp with a miura m2. I liked the tone of the diamond but its voltage needs made me to buy something else. The miura is very clear.
My pedalboard still compact, but side imputs are not helping. I'll need another board very soon, as I have another few pedals in my wish list.

Great to see someone else still using a Vulcan pedal.
 
My pedal board gives me a svt type clean tone via VT and graffic , a "driven" tone via bk1 , the compressor , hpf , and bbe "icing on d cake".
The OC5 I use during guitar solos , with slight vol boost and just a little +&- to "fatten" tone. (Being a 3 piece, guitar solos loose rythem part, gives me a chance to over play!)
