Show me your compact pedalboard setup

[FirewalZ]

More or less. It's a passive P Bass, but pretty hot. How do they compare to yours?

I have the v1, my settings are a lot lower, seeing yours makes me want to experiment, which I admit I haven’t spent a ton of time doing. I keep the COMP at about 9, clean and volume between 10-11. EqZ around 10. I run a hotter Stingray into it, so will have the CLN a bit higher and the comp turned down.

Compact? Not sure with a Metro 20. The red one is the MERBL, a copy of the Lovetone Meatball filter. The blue one doesn't have a name yet, and is a copy of the Lovetone Doppelganger phaser. My wife made them, and they're as lovely as she is.

Signal goes OC-2, Alma, Fifth Gear, phaser, MERBL, tuner, Oracle, and then to a Mesa WD800 and Subway 115 at home playing with my wife, or direct from the Oracle to the PA when I'm playing with the cover band.

Been using the OC-2 a ton lately, and the drive the least, surprisingly, so my layout probably looks weird.

I’m guessing the lovetone clones are Aion pcbs?
How do you find the meat pal vs other envelope filters?

This new one is pretty compact.

I sold a Xerograph Deluxe for a Chromatron, then sold the Chromatron once I put velcro on the MERBL, if that tells you anything. It's definitely finicky, and maybe not quite as wet as the XD, but it's very adjustable and just sounds great.

Cool board. I really like Pigtronix stuff and I am curious about the tuner. I was about to get one but in the end I didn't. How is it?

Board update:

Cali76-->HX Stomp-->Radial SB2. The HX Stomp has two extra footswitches, controlling FS4 and tuner.
It will however, change in the near future. I will add a Midi Controller (Baby 3) and a Line 6 Relay G10s. Luckily, the D'addario XPND can grow as I add pedals hehe. The Radial SB2 will be replaced by a Walrus Canvas. But, for upcoming gigs, this is the pedalboard I will be using:

Thanks! I tried the Pigtronix because I'm in a "top-mounted" jacks mode lately, and unlike the Peterson Mini, this one also has the power jack on the top. Anyway, I like the simplicity of it, and it seems to track well. I'm not sure it's as accurate as the Petersons, and I'm not sure I like the graphics. It claims to be a chromatic tuner, but it's not really. Or at least, it's not like the Petersons. I just mounted it yesterday, so I'll give it some more time. So far, I'll keep it.

I'm pretty happy with this compact setup I came up after a few experiments.
I use stacked compression (one compressor on the Valeton and the other on the B Factory) and stacked gain stages (with the EHX).
The Valeton also provides tuner, modulation effects, and boost (through the expression pedal set 69 to 99).
The Overdrive on the B Factory is always on as it behaves more like an amp simulator than an actual overdrive. Such a beefy and think sound from this unexpensive chinese pre...

Roots rock rehearsal today. Bringing the phaser bc I can't help myself. Using the Finally as a Space Heater.

Does what I need.

My latest incarnation….
I put the hp/lp first, is there an advantage or disadvantage to where it sits in the path?
Edit: And yes SansAmp just sounds great in the FOH, through just about any pa or bass. For as long as they have been out, I have no reason to “experiment” or fiddle with other brands, like I do with just about every other type of gear

Putting your hpf/lpf before your compressor will affect how it reacts to your signal (especially the hpf). I personally prefer it this way, especially if the compressor doesn’t have a side chain hpf.

The OG metallic Green Synth voice deluxe has been added to my compact board. taking the place of the smaller synth voice. it has a little overhang on the nano+ board but the ability to control filter is a good trade off.

Trying out this set up. Pedal on the left is a JHS Clover, emblazoned with sticker from a favorite place to gig.

Yea, it made the most sense that a hp/lp filter would be first as the signal feeds into other pedals.
On a side note, I'm still thinking of replacing the SA, its a bit large, hard to switch between sounds on the fly and 90% of the time i use it as a filter anyway. Maybe the MXR, I've never played on one but it but seems well liked and reasonably priced?

My HPLPF is third in chain after my tuner and octave.

Latest revision of my nano board.
Half of my gig is with a secondary band that travels a bit and a few flights, so it needs to fit in my backpack with my show clothes. Also this band is ampless and runs two separate signals: FOH, and instrumentalist only IEM channels, so the dual-out jacks with mute TU-2 is a necessity.
I also use this as a grab and go for any rehersals, all the basics I need.

How high are you running the grit on the Zio?

 

[EncoremMP]

Roughly at around 25 percent.
