Show me your compact pedalboard setup

I'm sure it's a mix of the two, but are most of you creating dedicated compact boards independent of a larger board? Or are you making good use of Velcro and switching key pedals between two boards depending on the gig/needs?

I have a dedicated compact board. I'm working to expand it as my ability to manipulate effects and creatively apply them increases.
 
No pic, just did this last night and am going to try it for a while:

BASS - POLYTUNE - THUMPINATOR - Ampeg SCR-DI - Out. It's on a Pedaltrain Nano powered by a DC-5.
I've monkeyed with compression for a while now and been through 6 different ones and am (at the moment) liking the pure ampeg tone quite a bit. No compression is making the scrambler circuit way more passable...

So I'm not the only one thinking the SCR-DI fart out easily with a comp before it?
 
I would have thought there should be less farting with a comp, unless you have it dialed to increase the gain.

It's twitchy to be sure. As a stand alone, it's Ampeg tone in a box with pretty much anything you have downstream. Just FWIW, you have 3 different ways to dial that in. Not to get too far off topic, but...
Inside the SCR-DI there is a little jumper that you can change to provide -15dB. Also, you can run this pedal at 12v. This is where I really think the farti-ness shines, but it can do it...
I once had my little board set up so the power supply provided 12v. to the SCR-DI, and had the -15dB jumper setting in place. For me, 9v and no -15dB worked better. I can't imagine it's actually that much different one way vs. other.

Mine is a dedicated compact board. In fact.... It is my only board. I can do everything I need to do in my current band/fill in gigs with this board. The ditto on mine is just for fun/practice. If I were to get in a situation where I needed more variety of effects, I would certainly change the ditto out for a Mb60 type multieffect. May do that anyway and leave the ditto plugged into my practice rig at home.
 
I use the REDDI tube DI.... But you reminded me of that option.. I totally forgot about it ..
I just got the Ampeg and Im using it as an In Ear feed separately... that feeds thru to the spectracomp> Octave> Peterson then to REDDI which splits to my amp. The REDDI is on top

I'd totally rock that board!
Do you use the DI out of the Peterson tuner?
If yes, how good it is?
Thanks.
