Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Guys i think my bass tone is absolutely godly with these pedals. Its probably the first time i am not gas-ing for something ( Ok maybe some ebs cables and a proper power supply)

Pic 1. The Pedalboard
Pic 2. The Monstrosity

The blower box is by far the best bass distortion i ve ever owned.
what bass are you using? Also are you just running through FRFR speakers? EBS multicomp + sansamp BDDI is a match made in heaven.
 
Back to the big board since the pedals are not moving in the classifieds.

Finished putting together my first pedalboard today. Pedalboard is a Ghostfire Little 20. Room for a wireless receiver in front and another pedal, if I ever need one, but I think this board will stay this way for a while.
Still trying to decide if the Sadowsky SBP-1 goes first (right after the tuner) or last. I like the idea of last, as the DI would have the compressor before the out, but know that Roger Sadowsky suggests it be first in the chain (just like it would be if it was onboard the guitar). I’ll be A/B’ing it a bit to see if I can hear a difference either way.

Does the Sadowsky preamp have a cab sim built into the DI out??
 
I need to take a new pic. I have a Nano with a DC7 underneath (overkill but it's the best and if I ever go bigger I'm set) to power a Shure GLXD+ and an HX Stomp. That's it.
My thoughts as well. Power source is not the place to try to save a few $$. Plenty of ways to save a buck, but with some things, buy once, cry once is the way to go!

Thank you for your reply! I Use an ash body maple neck Fender PJ copy made by a Greek Luthier, Daddario prosteels 0.40 and Dimarzios Model P&J. I Run the pedalboard either at the front or the effects return of Hartke LH500, and a typical 4X10 bass cabinet. Sansamp + multicomp is a thing i ve directly copied from one of my bass heroes Frank Bello.

Sounds like a KILLER rig dude. Nice.

Back to basics. The VT Bass DI is great but I always, always get back to the BDDI V2 somehow. I can't part with it, it's my sound. It's got more "body", more punch, more presence, and it's easier to set too. With the Cali and the DCX in OD mode, it sounds huge.
I've tried probably a dozen different preamps and the BDDI V2 always wins. Not for everyone, but it is for me.
Same with me and my BDDI v2. I just love the sound and can't look back.
 
First pass at redoing my second board onto a PT Nano rather than a Nano+, tighter spacing, but I wanted the smaller footprint (the Nano+ wasn’t really much smaller than my main Noble led board).

The trickier 3 switches in the middle of the board (Tuner/Drive/Chorus) should be much more accessible with the addition of some Barefoot Button ‘Tallboy’ switch toppers (yet to arrive, the standard Mooer ones pictured here).

Corona Chorus and the 66 are getting swapped out in the next month or so, watch this space.

All powered with a Cioks Sol smartly fixed in place with their clamp, very neat setup that!
Lot of options for a Nano, love it.
