Show me your compact pedalboard setup

@bucephylus I'd say it depends on the pedals you're running. I ran a 10000mAh power supply that looks very similar to what you posted for a good while. I used the 300mA port for an always on tube DI (Finally V2), along with about 200mA of other always on pedals (buffer, comp, drive) and I never had issues. Forgot to charge it between practice once and made it through a second practice, for a total about 8+ hours.

I only switched out to a DC7 b/c I'm running multiple power hungry pedals.

I created a light/small pedalboard as an alternative to the main/big one. For home and to carry it in the bass soft case pocket…

I keep wanting to add something (a compressor, a rat,…) and remind myself that the concept is embracing the limitations.

Hidden under it’s a cheap DI and a FDeck HPF. Tempted to build a spark clone with top jacks (due to OCD) and add a small HPF to reduce the need of a separate FDeck. Spark as a preamp is amazing, luckily very close to my favourite Vt BAs Di settings

Signal is Bass>HPF>pharaoh clone > Mosky preamp >line 6 m9 > spark > DI

All Very affordable second hand and amazing sounding!
 
How do you like that Holy Grail? I've been looking for a simple reverb that works well for bass.
I really like it for a one knob hall reverb. Tbh I don’t really use it for bass but I’ll maybe add a little bit of hall to give it a small room effect wearing headphones. Even as shown above that’s a lot of reverb for bass - for me.

Like many ehx pedals they become something else past 12oclock.

I did find it fun to set it into flerb mode with a haed on off square wave tremolo in front of it with a fuzz octave. You get this whipping wave effect that is synth like.

I bought it like 15yrs ago for an reverb less guitar amp and never felt the need another reverb pedal. It’s a keeper.

That Mosky preamp looks very interesting are you using it as a pre or a drive? Seems to have lots of options even more than the D250X I use all the time.

It’s the best cheap pedal I’ve ever bought. and one of the best overall!!

4 clipping options, great tone, flat frequency response and no loss of lows… if this was boutique I would be paying top dollar for it happily.

I’m using it as an OD, with the spark acting as preamp/eq
