Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Testing out a few Pigtronix pedals today. I barely used the Envelope Phaser last time so I'll see if I can fit it in today. The Fat Drive is phenomenal at bedroom volumes at 18v going into a cab sim. The gain is almost fully rolled off and that's enough. On its own it was essentially a fuzz anywhere on the gain knob. The pairing of Fat Drive with Fliptop was A+, but I can't use it on its own except for distortion/fuzz tones. We'll see what it's like in the rehearsal space.

yeah, great, sure they're amazing and everything... but side jacks...

Jajaja yepppp. I've had an all top-jack board and it's very satisfying.

Incredibly boring and utilitarian and even the boost may shortly be taken off!

^ There's a benefit to the minimalist approach though... I kinda dig it.

Just added the Valve. Chain is TU3–>Valve—>1176 —>everything else, right to left.

Board is a small D’Addario xpand with a Cioks DC-7 underneath.

I use my slightly bigger hx stomp driven board almost all the time and it works for just about anything.
But sometimes I just want to focus at playing. With a tight compressed tone with some grit to it, and just some slight overdrive when needed.
H9 provides pitch shifting, sub octave, delay and tuner, but usually not used much in this setup.

It still can’t touch what I do with the hx stomp, but for just “shut up and play” it’s great!

This is my current compact board. It has a rechargeable power supply underneath to simplify set up. I also don’t stick Velcro on my pedals hence the Guitto (Joyo) board with the rails and clamps. The POG is set for subtle sub octave. I had a bass big muff but sold it, the Russian sounds great to me. And the CE-2B is probably my favourite bass pedal! Simple tastes here.

Nice. Many TBers may consider this blasphemy (to me it's Galileo proclaiming "The Sun, not the Earth, is at the center", LOL), but IMHO pedals in on a board are like cologne and Tabasco.......a little goes a long way, and it's easy to add too much of a good thing.

Is that a Chronograph/clock on the top of your board? If so, and if you ever want to sell that, I would really, really like to buy it. Haven't been able to find a good pedalboard clock with LED light.

I've moved back to the point where I am using minimal effects so your board looks great to me.

Yes it is, I rehoused it and replaced the footswitch with a normal press switch because I never change modes on it. To be honest I've always wished I had bought two directly from the company when I'd had the chance! I can't believe they don't exist anymore, they had a great product and there's no competition either!?!

Exactly. That company no longer makes them (if they even exist any more) and i can't find any other company that makes an LED clock that's powered by a pedalboard power supply. I have an LCD clock that's battery powered but it can be hard to see on dim stages.

Are the pedals essentially clamped in?

Yep, the plastic holders slide in the rails and hold the pedals when you tighten the bolts.

That's a pretty cool idea

Changed things around a bit.
Powering Stomp with small power supply, everything else powered from power bank.
Omnicab put back on set flat at end of chain? Hoping to utilize the DI and use HPF and LPF

to dial in different rooms.
Likely getting rid of the AO as I found a really nice DG capture for the ToneX.

EDIT.. oops just realised this is compact boards. Gonna post in the tetris one lol

 

[Bernin]

Excuse the feet!

My first pedalboard counts as compact. Nano+ with tuner, envelope, comp, octave, and Preamp+DI

 

[1OHM]

^ Anybody who can't make it work w/ that needs to retire. LOL. Tell me more about the socks... the left sock specifically.

What board is that?

Also - is there another thread for "not" compact boards?
