Show me your compact pedalboard setup

#10,501
Here's mine. The green one is a DIY Catalinbread WIIO (Fuzzdog PCB) modified for bass. Testing the new Alma vs my Empress Bass comp.
Mounted on a Rockboard duo 2.2 with a Cioks DC7 underneath.

I just finished putting together my first pedalboard in years and I'm excited about it.

So far I've got a tuner (the only pedal in this line up I already had, extremely cheap but I used it for years an it's still working fine), chorus (I love how simple and effective this one is), a ROG Ginger preamp (I had it built by a local builder, it's a fliptop style preamp and it sounds great) and the Accountant compressor (not completely sold on it yet, I might want to try something different there).

I want to ad a HPF/LPF, a DI (a Radial Stagebug probably) and maybe something to shape the mids a bit (Eq or an MXR Thump) but I'm not sure I'll need that. Once that's all set, I might move from this plywood board to a tidier board with the power supply underneath. I want to keep this compact enough to fit in my gig bag and simple enough to not lose time fiddling with knobs.

Presumably, that's to avoid accidentally knocking knobs out of position. It's a common practice for guys out on tour/gigging a ton. Never felt the need to do it myself, but it's a popular move that I see frequently around these parts.

I kind of figured that, but the SA pedals also keep the same settings when you turn them on and off no matter how you dial in things (unless you save the new setting). Correct me if I'm wrong.

Exactly. I've configured the lower knobs for output level and modulation speed: things I might adjust during the set. The tape on the upper knobs keeps me from fat-footing other parameters inadvertently.

I've pretty much got the output level saved for all my patches now. A long press on the switch saves the setting. The speed still gets adjusted to taste.

I'm gonna post a new Pic shortly as I've ditched the Morely ABY in favor of an active splitter from Saturnworks. It's a much smaller footprint and accomplishes the same thing. Now I can put my JamMan back on the board for triggering sound effects.
