Show me your compact pedalboard setup

[bassbrad]

This did the duty for my jazz thing into a Polytone Mini Brute III. Used the zoom for swells, chorus, flanger, octave up and 2 octaves up plus a couple of synth sounds. The @Sushi Box FX Bass Dude for when I wanted a bit of old school crunch or volume boost.

Be careful with the HULK...

you can blow up your 1x12" combo...!

The 30/60 Hz trim pots are volume controls (kinda like EQ sliders, but only boost) that add more gain in those two frequency points to create earthshaking low-end BOOM!

You will never REALLY feel the FULL effect of the HULK without a SUB or two...

Mooer PB-05 mini pedalboard, Polytune 3 tuner, Boss PQ-3b parametric EQ, Boss LM-2 limiter, and CabZone X cabsim. A blend of vintage and modern.

I noticed I never took my pedal board to gigs anymore. If I do need extra effects, I always bring my Helix. So I downsized a lot in the last few days; sold my reverb and chorus, put my octaver and fuzz up for sale, and now this is left:

The blank pedal is a custom built Tubescreamer copy, voiced for bass. And yes, I have straightened the position of the Cali

Wow, that is a nice collection. Proof that hanging out on TB is dangerous!

Thread 'How much to replace your board?'

Feb 17, 2025

I’m curious how much it would cost you if your board needed to be replaced today. If you add up full retail price of everything on your board, the power supply, and the board itself, what do you have invested? If you have more than one board, what is the cost of each one? I realize some of us have used pedals that we didn’t pay full retail for, but I’m curious what it would cost if you had to go out today and replace everything at full price.

Lol, I pity the fool that would Dare tread those waters. The Man is a kind soul with an even more impressive Gun collection

Finally got myself a broadcast to complement the dcx, and I like it a lot.

Grateful Dead cover bans audition today. Very tone-focused board today. Added the delay last minute bc why not.

The Beetronics Fatbee is a smooth, big low end overdrive. I really dig it.

 

[5stringwonder]

Overhangs from the board a bit but squeezed in everything as tight as i could.

I’ve been pleased with using the CIOKS supplies under my couple of boards. But, a recent post brought to my attention the recent supplies, which have merged the rechargeable lithium power bricks with the 9VDC supplies.

Such as:

Amazon.com

I’m all for eliminating the power supply cord at the gig. Anyone have any downside experience with these products?

I went ahead with this plugless concept; and here is the result.

The power bank is 40,000 mAH, and seems like it will go 5 or 6 shows between charges. I have quite a few gigs this year, which will be served by my passive Fender P; and this board is perfect for that bass. Can’t wait.

Just a quick shot of my compact pedal setup. Sitting at home in front of my Spark guitar amp. I went with the Nu-x two layer because I wanted to keep the Tetra Venue controller for our lights and my Shure wireless receiver out of the way of my clumsy feet. There is a foot switch that works with the controller so keeping it close makes it a quick connect.

Not much for pedals, from right to left, pedal tuner, Boss EQ, and TC electronics Sub n up pedal.

I do love convenience of this setup. Power it up, run one cable to my bass amp and one to the light foot switch. Done.

@5stringwonder how have you been liking the Tubedrve? I've been starting to mess with mine more and I really like the warmth and crunch I get out, but I've been noticing a little loss in the low end. Still trying to feel out how noticeable it will be in a live setting, or if it's worth opening the can of worms around adding a blend pedal to the setup.

That's pretty cool! What power bank did you go with?

I’m using this one:

Amazon.com

….which oddly became unavailable after I received it. It does work very well, FWIW. Except, I had to put larger feet on the cheap pedal board to accommodate.

I also got this one as a backup:

Amazon.com

…it appears to not need the larger feet, and would probably be just fine.

Thanks! Please keep us updated on how it works.
