Show me your compact pedalboard setup

[SemiDriven]

Are these things mainly just for blowing out windows at a bar or club?

Subbed.

I’m moving away from the pedalboard into a Fractal system. But here’s the latest iteration of the amp less rig.

Which one are you going to use?

FM3 to start

One more time...

 

[Fortyweight]

Tracked our new album with this setup (parallel out of the sansamp into an orange terror bass with a OBC 115). Never sounded better!

 

[Jakeman]

Last minute changes before a gig last Sunday. BassRig sat on the amp.

Sharing my bass-ic mini board project build.

Just got the Broughton Subsonic and surprised with the insane tracking and simpler controls. It's a refined version of my fave OC-2. DCX is back and mostly using it at medium gain settings for stacking. Fliptop is always on and gives a nice B15 saturation to warm the tubes of the Neptunium. They sound amazing altogether!

Quick recording here

Mounted on a Pedaltrain PB-3 riser. Hooked with EBS Gold flat patch cables. Powered by a Onespot PSU and all pedals are daisy chained without any issues.

That looks sooo good together - and a sound clip to back it up to boot! Nice noodling.

Are your settings in the clip as shown jn the pic?

Thank you! Yes same settings. Ever since the Neptunium I’ve put my Fliptop eq to flat. The Fliptop goes well saturating the Neptunium which I love. So creamy!

Anyway, good to have the Neptunium and DCX back from the shelf.

I’ve downsized since from a nano+ setup, letting go of some of my Broughton and 3leaf due to an emergency.

Talking with the wife two weeks ago she noticed my extra pedals on the bench and said: "You should build another board with those."

Dear God. I can't shake it. Knees weak.

Waiting for the Broughton Sunray to land so it can the place of the Archetype Valve boost. i love the AVB and shall hibernate and wait for next rotation while i dive in to the mysthical Sunray. pls excuse the settings as some have been moved at transport.

She is a keeper! Renew her contract for sure!

If this is your compact pedal board setup, might I ask you to post a pic of your big board? ;-)

Yesterday I added M-VAVE Chocolate Plus for switching patches on Zoom MS-60B via USB-Host.
Today I'm already testing it on stage - half of the performance is already behind me, my expectations were more than met!

 

[M4verick]

I'm getting lazy while getting older and I was looking for a 'swiss army knife' all in one Multi fx.

Owning previously HX stomp and a lot of other s*t I'm extremely happy with the zoom.

 

[Dave Siff]

New mini board! Insane.

 

[projectapollo]

This weeks small worship board. Going Origin Effects for the lovely organics.

 

[Bob_Ross]

I just cobbled this together for use on one song in a setlist that doesn't require any other pedals whatsoever!
(Also posted this in the Ultra-Minimal Pedalboards thread.)
This is about as "compact" as I get. tbh I think I'd much rather have my ginormous non-compact pedalboard(s), or else no effects at all; this in-between stuff just feels like the potential point-of-failure outweighs the benefits. :shrugs:

Well, ^^^that configuration lasted for exactly one rehearsal. It's so tiny that it's really unstable; when I step on one of the footswitches the whole assembly rocks to one side or the other, causing one of the 1/4" plugs to press against the floor and get intermittant.

So here's the updated pedalboard:

Still relatively compact (at least compared to most of the monstrosities I regularly use) ...and still only required for one song in a 16-song setlist. Which btw pisses me off to no end! If it wasn't for that one song I wouldn't use any pedals with this band, and I really wanted to embrace the purity of that approach. But so long as I'm dragging some stompboxes around, might as well have a little fun. There are a couple other opportunities to use the Phase 95 and the AF-9 in our setlist, so it's not a total waste. The Matryoshka will probably never get used, it's just there to fill space.

I've further simplified my setup to just wireless, multi-FX, and DI. The Canvas Mono LI/DI is not strictly required, but if the Stomp ever craps out on me, I can plug my bass into the Canvas directly and have a DI out. I put 90-degree TRS adapters on the HX Stomp send and headphone jacks so that I can easily plug into them without having to pull the Stomp off of the board first. I can use either the send on the Stomp or the parallel out jack on the Canvas to plug into my amp. The XLR out goes to FOH.

So far I really like this setup. I can get just about any sound I want out of the HX Stomp. My "clean" sound just has a bit of compression and mild EQ. If I decided to use amp/cabinet models to go to FOH, I can put a send before those blocks so that my amp gets the wet signal before the amp/cab modeling.

The next step in my minimization journey is to find a new band where I don't need wireless or any effects. Then I can just plug straight into my amp .
