Show me your compact pedalboard setup

In addition; I think it will also fit just fine without modification if you raise the front feet a bit and mount the CIOKS 7, Eventide PowerMax or CIOKS SOL a bit forward and not centered. This is what I did.

I also mounted the power selector switches facing the Velcro side, not the exposed side for two reasons (a) the power supply will not be changing function (b) I positioned it where the lower section rubber feet just touch the floor as the boards feet do as well. It just felt more solid with it not hanging with the Velcro to me.:cigar:
How did you mount your’s?

The power supply switches are against the board...I will not be changing outlets (2x12v jumper/18v/2x9v)

It's slightly more forward (away from you) than center.
This places the "plane" of the supply on the incline of the board, to where the lower pair of rubber feet on the CIOKS SOL, are on the horizontal plane that the other six rubber feet of the board are. It sits perfectly level with the SOL having those two points of contact along with the boards six rubber feet.

I have a short power cable, supplied with the OPUS OEM power supply, that I am using to connect to my snake power cable with the XLR and 1/4" TRS cables in it and then in to the SOL.

Mounted with Velcro?
 
PDATE (yes again).
I was not entirely digging Darkglass’s Ultra Vintage pre. I eventually got Arkham Sound’s latest Oracle V2.

Perfect. Best possible light pedalboard !
I might ask DESS to design an active patchbay that would duplicate the amp output into a phones output. Maybe not, I ll see if an external headphones pre is not a cheaper option.

Very clean setup - hadn't heard of DESS before.

Another update to my board - rearranged the order a few times, and then finally added this Ibanez BE-10 EQ pedal at the end. I didn't even know this pedal existed in the Ibanez Ten Series, but I saw it listed on Reverb and got it at an excellent price. I'm ecstatic with this current lineup!
How do you like the Banana?
J!
