Show me your compact pedalboard setup

[Xad]

TL, DR....

I'm becoming a bit of a minimalist and ditching my full-blown PedalTrain board and heavy-ass carry case. I need recommendations for a soft-sided carry bag capable of accommodating maybe 3-4 pedals (wireless,multi FX, HPF, MXR power brick)...bonus points if it has has an accessory pocket large enough for a couple cables.

Thanks for the accommodation!

I know this comes with a board, but the whole thing is super light. I can't speak to the MXR power brick, but I use this with a CIOKS Sol underneath (sometimes just a CIOKS 4). Works great, very light. Super easy carry. EDIT: the whole front is an accessory pocket

Here's my small board on the Ghost Fire BABY 1 (ignore the wire mess -- was in the middle of experimenting with pedals and arrangements. CIOKS 4 underneath, later changed to a CIOKS SOL

TY...pretty durn close. Think I need something a little wider, like 9" not 5.5". I've got a Zoom multi FX in-play.

I use one of the Boss backpacks. Fits my board (Xpand 1), all my cable's, my laptop and my sheet music, and is an easy carry. I have 4 pedals on my board.

Tell us about the Harmonist - can you use it to create bass harmonies an octive up? I'm looking for something to thicken up the bass when the guitarist is soloing.

So i only really use it as like either a slow double octave dive bomb at the end of a song, sort of like a slow record stop effect, or to jump up an octave for certain parts. Havent really found the other modes to be useful in the context of my band, but well see. Id say deff get it for the dive bomb effect alone. Id get something like the boss oc-2 if you want that octave effect to thicken up your tone. Or a big muff.

Posted this in the main pedal board thread as well, but really pleased of how compact it turned out. Theres almost not a millimetre to spare when taking clearance for the case into account.

Nice collection! What are your always-ons?

Nice collection! What are your always-ons?

The compressor, Lowrider and Studio Boost Mini are pretty much always on. Light compression, Lowrider tightens and fills out the lows and I feel the SBM adds a nice bit of clarity. I am tempted to try out some LBA transformers, although I am really happy with this setup as is.

There’s also a Broughton BBA underneath and an Element, but I’ve almost stopped using cabsim and it’s more of a headphone amp. So not much added for tone there.

Whow. Impressive. Both the collection and the arrangement.

Started playing my acoustic bass guitar (with flats!) more often again so had to bring Tonehammer back in the fold. Really liking this board. AEB is sounding huge!!

I’m really intrigued by the lowrider.

Good to see you posting Riis!
I just a mini guitar tick with a nano sized board in it.
Holds GLXD, Zoom MS60B, Boss LS2, and TC Spark.

Heard back from them and as someone else pointed out there is no internal trim pot. Am just going to deal with it/switch with my pork and pickle that runs a similar sound at 18v

Awesome thanks

How are things in Prospect? Per the advice of others, I found the Ghost Fire series via Amazon. Think I can find a size that will work. I have an ancient PedalTrain with the bomb-proof attache case which I'll sell for 10 bucks locally. Some young gunslinger will think it's great.

Last update... Honestly, the Alpha-Omicron wasn't doing anything special relative to the bass drive sounds I could get from the Stomp / SGT, and I wasn't a huge fan of the Stomp tuner, so I put a tuner back on the board and killed the A/O. I also added a Pedalnetics 2-button switch, and a little pick holder. I could clean up the wiring underneath, but... why? And, yeah, I got some ridiculous initials on the board. Folks have called me 'D-Money' forever, so for $3, why not get it etched on my board.

After a lot of experimenting, here is my board. For a while anyway…

All good here my friend. Kids growing up, both now working, yet life is still busy!

You fully retired yet?

Retired in July...but forgot to go home. Wife hands me a lunch every AM, pushes me out the door with the admonishment "...don't care where you go but you can't stay here".
