Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask, but do any of you know if a CIOKS Sol will fit under a d'Addario XPND pedalboard?
Yes...I've had a DC7 mounted just fine. Anyone who says it will not has no experience mounting things, doesn't know how to adjust anything or just needs help with their equipment assembly...;)

It can fit, but IME (with the single row XPND) it's stoooopidly tight and will bottom out on even a slightly uneven floor. Even with the adjustable feet maxed I added higher feet to accommodate the Sol and eventually switched the Sol to a Nux board where it fit easily.

The Voodoo Labs or One Spot brand or anything that is just too big anyway will not work. I was thinking the Strymon Ojai R30 was going to be too thick, too? But realizing that a board that is angled and not flat with a recessed area will need to sit forward you adjust from there.

I am removing two pedals and collapsing the board for transport with the tall preamp/Expression Pedal sitting in the bag. The board makes that possible where any other board really will not allow that to happen.

When you say Nux board, do you mean the Bumblebee?

Yes I limit my boards to 16" wide and much prefer 1 row...I like 'em to fit as comfortably on top of a cab as on the floor, so the XPND now uses a simple 1-spot daisy chain and the Sol is on the small Nux BBee that's quite narrow and has 2 rows but a built in step. The Sol is under the 2nd far row of the BBee (along with the cabling and an always on HPF).

...exactly...it doesn't fit very well...... unless you make it fit ;). Did you change the feet or just max out the adjustable pair?
This is funny to me having had a DC7 and a SOL under the D'Addario Pedalboard? (The only reason I have a Strymon Ojai R30 is I found it for $50.00 and sold off the other units!) I have never had to MAX OUT anything or change parts. When the DC7 was mounted, I had it dialed in where I had two small rubber feet on the back edge of the DC7 that made contact with the floor and was the most sold situation. Granted, experience with such nonsense as geometry can be helpful in solving engineering conundrums. :woot:
 
Picked up one of the JHS Punchlines, and I really like it. I don’t love setting things directly on the floor, or jacking in and out of pedals if I can avoid it, so I did this:

It’s a Mono Rise+. I might stick a Mission Engineering 529M underneath for the option to run it off a battery pack or wall adapter.
