Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Tone Board.jpg


I call this my tone board. Just a Pre, an EQ, and a tuner. The essentials.

I have 2 shure wireless units as I wanted 2 transmitter packs. I could have bought an extra pack and lead, but by the time you do it's not much cheaper than having 2 complete systems. I am better off having 2 complete systems for resale also.

I often use the GLXD16+ with the Aguilar board. With the Nano board I use a Swiff Audio Blackwing wireless.

I was moving my HX Stomp between both boards but one came up cheap recently so I grabbed it.

The 2 mainly analog boards on the right are home made boards, the 2 on the left are Rockboard.

Heading out on tour tomorrow with this guy. I posted more about it in the HX Stomp thread, but I have a pretty cool use case - I play electric and EUB throughout the set. Electric wireless goes in the Single slice then to the input of the Stomp, MXR is in the loop, and then the output of the stomp hits the tuner and then the BassRig. EUB goes in to the R Return on the Stomp. I have presets for each instrument and then one that lets me use both simultaneously - really fun little rig with lots of options. This let me cut down from two boards to one and give my soundguy a really nice signal every night. The biggest challenge is not messing with stuff too much so I can keep my levels between instruments reasonably close.

Very glad Mono put out the Tick+ to accommodate the Nano+ as well. Anything to save space!

I had this long pedalboard, a Ghostfire V-Baby Max, sitting unused and decided to make use of it. I loved how small my Nano+ board was, but I had to keep the Element on the floor, and I didn't have anywhere for the Nether. Now I can bring my complete ampless solution anywhere without worrying about where to put my DI box, and I have another fun noisemaker at my disposal. There's even room to squeeze one last pedal on there, which I'm pretty sure will be a chorus. Power comes from a Truetone XP5 which fits perfectly underneath.

Not sure this qualifies as compact anymore, but I haven't found a "show us your medium sized pedalboard" thread yet. (If anyone knows where such a thread exists, please let me know!)

Here’s my latest redo. 20” board. The Ibanez delay came used from FB Marketplace and is one of the wildest pedals I’ve come across. I feel like it’s gonna attack me in the middle of the night. The Wren and Cuff is another used find and sounds awesome. Really happy with this one. A shot of all four boards below.
