Show me your compact pedalboard setup

So I lived in peace and enjoyed my FI v3.. Why did you wake up my GAS? :слюнки:
I rarely see anyone using the SA SoundBlox MWBD. But why not Pro? It is more compact than two singles. And there is EQ.

After lots of experimentation, I'm back with my NU>X MG-30
Couple of little changes but my board has ended up remaining pretty much the same. It does now come in a regular version for using when I have my amp on stage and an ampless version.
Fender P into:
Dry Bell Unit67 - a little compression and the eq set a just above unity, provides a nice gain boost and lots of mojo
HX One - usually on Regal pre-amp, otherwise as phaser or delay - also tuner
Grizzly Bass - love this pedal for grit and treble cut
Empress Bass Comp - so easy to get good sounds from this unit
Ciocks DC7 under Rockboard Duo2.1
then into Mozztronics tube DI - brilliant box adds warmth and sparkle - I bypass the eq circuit
Into Bergantino B|Amp - clean, transparent and powerful, eq usually flat, no effects other than HPF

What drives the XLR connector on the side? A TRS output on one of the pedals?
Reason for asking is I need a XLR out (or TRS) where I gig. Would also not want to rely on phantom power from the board as the sound guy doesn't like it. Like the TA board, what size?
I know I said my pedalboard was done but... I've just added the Dr Green Tune Up.
The reason is that I want FS3 in the Stomp to be FS3 and not the Tuner. But I needed a tuner with the jacks on top. The reason is that, if something goes wrong with the wireless, I can put a cable faster than if it has the jacks side mounted (my polytune was the obvious choice, but...) Other contenders for the tuner position were: Walrus Canvas, Pigtronix new tuner and the Peterson Mini. I have one pedal size Peterson and it is the best tuner, but both the Peterson and the Walrus are a little bit out of the budget I wanted to spend. And the Pigtronix was a little bit expensive for what it is (only 440Hz and no other feature). The Dr Green is ok, not super fast nor super accurate, but it is good enough. And it is red, which is a plus hehe.
Offtopic: I am a huge Ashdown fan. I think they are great. There was a time when I had all the Dr Green pedals (even for guitar). I just liked them. But they weren't that good and I ended up selling most of them (I still have a Delay and a Fuzz). But I have the huge Ashdown Bass Ometer tuner, which is huge.

What type of board is this? That's exactly the size I'm looking for!
You have a lot of really cool toys there. I'd love to know how you use all that
I really like it. The Bergantino is clean and transparent (and light weight) and the Mozztronics adds some nice character. You can overdrive it but I prefer to get grit from the Grizzly. I usually bypass the Eq on the Mozz. I’m using it as a simple tube pre-amp straight through, although the Bright switch still works when you bypass the Eq. Also, the price is really good here in Australia. I ordered mine directly from Andrew at Mozztronics. I imagine it would be a good deal even from outside Aus depending on your customs regime. Compared to some other devices discussed on this thread I think the functionality is superb at a fraction on the price. These pedals are handmade and the quality is tangible. I had it on my pedal board for a while but I think it is more convenient sitting on my amp with some Velcro. That would definitely be the case if you used the Eq circuit. The Eq is actually really good and there is an internal dip switch to modify the range of the treble to suit either bass or whatever. It seems that a number of people use this unit for keyboards, synths etc. I suppose the need for AC power is a downside, but that tube needs heating up, right. And you have to plug your amp in so for me not an issue.
With MIDI control of the OPUS and a mini BT receiver under the hood for playing with music.
