Show me your compact pedalboard setup

My new compact pedalboard. Neither the DCXs nor the Peterson are actually protruding.

This took a lot of brainwork!

Hoping to acquire a 3 Leaf Octabvre from the next release to complete the chain.
 
Haven't been on this feed for a bit, mostly because it gives me GAS. Its always nice to see what people do to creatively pack as much punch into a as small a space as possible. Great job everyone!

I don't have a pic on my (at work atm) :bored:

Will take a coupe at practice tonight. Spoiler: My current rig is a 10" x 11.5" hand made wood board with folding legs:

Signal chain - IN - THUMPINATOR - KEELEY BASSIST - ZOOM B2 FOUR - GENZLER MAGELLAN

My woodworking skills will never land me a side hustle the carpentry trade but I do ok...

Will post pics tomorrow providing I remember to take them lol....
 
PT metro 20 w/ a cioks Dc7 in a cioks/pt mount. modular and versatile that covers my needs and a trip to play thru.
Chain: solarian (boost)-Monocomp at 18-24v (compressor)-
SV (octave)- maestro (fuzz)-sentinel (OD)- SVF (eq*alembic)- Resound (reverb and modulation)- AVB (Tube)- Helionpreamp *traynor)- Studio one (preamp/DI *Neve). pardon the settings as some has been moved at transport.

Covers all I need.
Except the tuner?

Here are my two current setups :) The top one has been my main board for quite a while. Just finished the bottom one. I could wind up with another pedal in place of the green drive, depending on how it works out live.
Amazing! Those are so clean. Remind me of those compact mechanical keyboards. Well done.

Latest update, the Cali76 is gone and replaced by the MXR. Some would call that a downgrade, I see it as something different. Plus I needed some cash from the Cali76 transaction :)

Nice, but flip the sans amp, even if it’s always on. Flow is off with the switch up there. Need to give it some breathing room from the dcx, too.

Patch cables flipped downwards stresses me out.

Oops sorry, I didn’t know you were the pedalboard arrangement police.

No, I won’t flip the SansAmp. One, there’s not enough space width-wise. Two, even if there was, the access to the Parallel Output, which I sometimes need, would be made trickier. And yes, it is always on.

I don’t care about the “flow”, what matters is practicality.
This is my pedalboard, and I’m very content with its layout, I got used to it.
And what breathing space? I actually like that the DCX’s length is the same as the SansAmp’s width it makes it all very compact and snug.


Gotta love it when someone tells you what to do with your very own setup, even though you never asked for advice….

Opinions are fine. But you phrased it in a way that sounded like I had to do what you said, you merely suggested that I should do something, you just said: “do that, because I think it’s not good”, in a nutshell.

Hence why I responded the way I did. At the end of the day I do what I want; and I don’t have a problem with you having an opinion, I have a problem with how you expressed it, as if I was in the wrong for organising MY pedalboard MY way…

Oh, and in 15+ years on TB, I never received any negative feedback, yet you just took the time to leave me a negative feedback on my profile for challenging your comment.
You posted, I gave you my opinion as well on your comments, and you thought it warranted some negative feedback?

Who’s “touchy touchy” here?
Yeah, lighten up as well. Thanks.
