Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Switched over to a desktop-type pb approach…tray sits over my Eich T-900 amp—on top of a computer monitor shelf. All four pedals are in the effects loop. Makes it easier to try different pedals/chain order. (I mounted a Cioks DC7 to the back side of the angled tray)…
The MORE is in front to reduce both OE pedal’s noise floor to dead quiet. Btw, the ZeroFive Audio Lowrider is an absolute mega-impactful tone-thickener pedal…like, where’s this pedal been all my life?!

Almost final setup. Swapping the element for an OPUS soon.
Keep checking the website—they’re really good about announcing their next release day (a few weeks ahead of time…)
I’m finding it’s not a one-trick pony…optimum settings (via the selector knob) for home or gig use…easy to dial in, imo/ime.

No. If you put the compressor before the Sansamp, the degree to which your dynamics are dampened will be constant throughout the chain after the compressor. You may still have dynamics as long as the compression isn't too heavy handed, but, by definition, if you are compressing, dynamics will be diminished to some extent. Experiment with the comp in both positions and put it where you enjoy it most. I generally prefer it 1st because I use tube preamps and I like the extent of OD to be consistent....and I hate noise.
setup for rehearsals
@Ant B 2023 this is the crucial bit; you gotta experiment. It also depends on what you are using your compressor for. I always have mine dead last in the signal chain, to avoid squashing any playing dynamics (which influences how the other pedals react/sound). But I also use my compressor mainly for peak limiting, so having it after all the noise-makers makes the most sense in my setup.

With only a tuner, BDDI and a good compressor your settings will likely dictate how the noise floor is and how heavy the compression is.
It sounded like you had tried both positions and found the after position sound/felt best, to you. I probably wouldn't ring your hands too much on the politics of compression all things considered.

Roots rock tonight. Not bringing "effects," since I've mostly stared at them wishing for an appropriate moment to stomp on them at prior rehearsals. Only utility gear today. The Mantic as an an always on low end boost sounds really great, especially when paired with the mid-forward setting in the comp and high gain preamp setting.
This has been it with the bar band lately. And honestly the Fifth Gear doesn't get clicked much, and I'd happily replace it with a Joshwah or a chorus, just something different.
This did not last long. Apparently the universe said "no" that is not the final small board. Our Air conditioning went out and I need to liquidate this board to raise some funds.
Huge fan. I loved the Diamond, but the parallel compression here is even better.
Another update to add the Canvas Tuner. Got a Cali76 on it’s way which will mean a little more switching up in a few days but nothing too drastic.
OK, so after taking onboard the advice here to go with a signal path that (outside of some basic rules) just sounds good to me, I decided to use both my Sansamp BDDI and Darkglass Infinity Microtubes...
...and I love the result. Gigged it yesterday and it sounded fab.
