Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Tel us more about the Diplomat. I have never seen this one...
It’s a clean preamp, boost, EQ and DI. It also contains the “thumpinator,” a HPF that cuts out inaudible tones and saves speakers some strain. Made as a custom order by SFX in England for a few TB’ers some years back. Recent acquisition for me.
 
This Sunday's compact board:

How are you using the LS-2 in the signal path?
My signal chain is TUNER > COMP > DISTORTION > LS-2 > PRE-DI, with the Octamizer and Luxe in a loop. I don't use the octave and chorus that much, so I wanted them out of the chain most of the time.

Due to recent shoulder surgery and hand problems, I had to move from my usual long-scale 5-string fretless to a medium-scale 4-string fretless. I like to use the octave pedal for the occasional low note (I got addicted to them after years on the fiver). I sing harmonies in my band, so I wired it up so the LS-2 was on the far left of my board. That way, I can more easily hit it for certain notes while singing.
 
The Dingwall afterburner Newly strung with dingwall rounds . sonically pleasing. it was strung with TI flats that also sounded glorious but the Dingwall nickel rounds gives more character and compliments the DG tone capsule preamp well IMO .Cant go wrong either way. Pardon the settings on my fun compactboard as some settings have been moved.. its a fun tone quest board i use in my music room and not my main gigboard so i dont have to tap dance or worry about the close footswitch on some pedals. cheers to more gears!

finally settled on what I wanted on my Anagram board and gigged with this last weekend. Gig went very well and we were offered and accepted a residency this summer for every First Friday Downtown Vegas.

Would love to upgrade my power supply but I cannot seem to find anything portable that can provide a 2 amp port, 500mah port and additional port with at least 200mah. This ghostfire FV-5 digital is supposed to provide 1.95 amps at the main port when not using all the available power.

Super happy with this setup now. Never had any power issues but I would rather be safe than sorry.

Cioks Sol should be the Problem solver...
5 Outlets.
3 for the Anagram,
so 2 left with 660 mA each.

EDIT: Ah... you are looking for a wireless solution. Sorry.
 
More or less everything I need live and in the studio. Dry signal from JDI is always there for clarity and/or reamping. Love the Gator board, feels more like a piece of tank armor than audio gear. Gotta figure out who gets it when I die of old age ;)

I have an XB Driver incoming. Really looking forward to it!

How are you using the JDI? I can see you are using the XLR out of the XB Driver also.

I think it's time to purchase some EBS Flat patch or Tourgear patch cables!! :laugh:
