Wireless/tuner -->> HX Stomp -->> Radial Pro DI. I have bass and bass synth presets. The Pedalmetics 4/5 is to scroll up and down presets, the other 3 are to engage effects. Pretty slick. The USB cable is to charge my wireless pack if needed. All powered by a CIOKS DC7 underneath the Nano+ board.
I haven't needed the Radial yet, but I have it just in case I need the ground lift. It's a great backup DI if everything goes down.

I thought I could do without the Darkglass VMT but I cannot. I had to update my main board. Again 
The board is a Pedaltrain Nano+, the PSU is a Cioks DC7.

I’ve been digging the simplicity and quick set up of this board. The SA is my first digital pedal, and normally I wouldn’t want the hassle or added complexity. However it sounds real good and I get six great sounding envelopes, octavers, synths…..that are fairly straightforward to alter or upload new sounds, etc.
I just got my first DG, a VMT…..so far I really dig it. Pretty good range of sounds and easy to dial them in.I thought I could do without the Darkglass VMT but I cannot. I had to update my main board. Again

Can’t kick mine either. More how it boosts just the right frequency to cut through the mix than the drive.I thought I could do without the Darkglass VMT but I cannot. I had to update my main board. Again

Compact pedal board for a little recording session I am doing. Not so much bass guitar as bass clarinet and bari sax. Yeah, running an SM57 into the ART pre-amp, splitting the signal with both outputs, one dry signal goes straight to the Scarlett 2i2, the other signal goes through the DG B3Kv1, then the M81, up to the 2i2, then into 2 channels in Garage Band.
And the bass corner with the bass clarinet, bari sax, my Rumble 40, and the modified G2220. Will eventually be adding tenor, alto, Bb soprano, and C soprano to the mix, but none of those are bass related.

Current iteration. I am really loving the NuX Small board. The footprint is only 9 x 12« but I can get everything I love on there, With a CIOKS SOL Underneath. I don't have to pedal dance during any tunes so I often keep this on top of my amp head & cab.
Korg tuner>> Envelope filter>> High Pass filter>> Compressor>> Dreamcatcher dual channel preamp>> Glass butterfly multi modulation with tube buffer>> Guptech Bass Bone preamp. I add the bass bone at the end when I want to go from warm & harmonic to face melting overdrive. The Dreamcatcher lets me choose between bass boost/a bit of tube harmonics and no mid scoop versus a little mid scoop with bass and treble boost and a tad more gain. I pretty much always boost low mids on my amp to compensate.

A slight reconfiguration so I can squeeze in one more…..I wanted to limit the amount of room I have to keep myself from adding too many pedals
Alma Comp=>SA Spectrum=>DG VMT=>Micro Amp=>BDDIv2.

Once you get accustomed to the Darkglass distortion it’s hard leave it behindI thought I could do without the Darkglass VMT but I cannot. I had to update my main board. Again

Just went out on a quick overseas tour, but before leaving I realized that having control over a boomy stage was more important than having a tuner pedal! I've got a TC Poly Clip, which does that job just fine (and is pretty discreet on stage), so now there's a new passenger on the underside
Seeing as this was only supposed to be a fly-out board (for gigs with backline), I figured there'd be no need of speaker protection, so opted against the HPF when first putting it together. But then I was reminded how bad a runaway boomy stage can be for the band, so figured I'd be foolish not to come prepared. And now I can use this Nano board for local gigs and not stress it if I've gotta crank my amp up a little bit!

Very nice. I'm lifting the back of my nano for the same reason.
What is that "Farewell to Cleans"??? That's very intriguing.
@BigDBass Thanks, mate! Good call on adding the extra feet/clearance; for me, it was as much about being able to sneak things underneath as it was about improving the angle of the switches for easier stomping.
That pedal is a little custom job I had done up maybe 10 years back. It's just a re-housed MXR Zakk Wylde OD, with a parallel dry signal stacked underneath. I whipped up a little graphic for it; the pedal (and my 4003 running in stereo!) was key to getting a huge Geddy Lee sound during my Rush cover band days. Without a roadie, 4 full SVT rigs didn't seem terribly practical! LOL

It also solved a lot of my problems. A great tool.
Tone board. Rockboard Duo 2.0. Cut it way too close - not a mm to spare!
The modern board. The u67 controls inputs from different basses. Opus to provide patches and JF to make adjustments for room without having to menu dive on the opus or to switch to a different drive. Power on board also.
