Show me your compact pedalboard setup

I was thinking about building a small board and went online looking for ideas. Saw a pic where someone had used an old skateboard as a base and took it from there. I tightened up the wheels so they don't turn freely, but the biggest PITA was removing the grip tape from the top of the board. It took a hair dryer and a lot of Goo Gone, but I'm very happy with how it came out.

Messing around with $20 amazon prime day deal board.

Playing with flats, things a barely dirty board. But with the settings cranked on both the dumble and the spark, I get good OD. The Chorus is a win too- lots of options.
I had it temporarily powered to try everything out but will probably see how it does with a daisy chain. This is a nice little board with an angle built-in, but not really room for a power supply. At least not my mini iso brick or DC 7 lol

I recently bought the same Amazon board.

I managed to put a DC7 under it by cutting off a piece of that brace with a Dremel cutoff wheel.

The integrity of the board is still strong. I wouldn't jump on it though...

Put this smaller board together after getting a mono tick+ and pedalboard lite+ on sale, which will attach to my mono vertigo gig bag... Aiming to use this in situations where my "spaceship" 32" board with a switcher is overkill

Definitely pretty awesome for such a small package - the Dingwall SP1 (in green!) I just got last week was sounding great through it.

Need to get some cleaner cabling going (the T16 octave is actually between the tuner and dcx with some less than ideal long cables), so pardon the mess.

Slimmed down from the RB Tres 3.0 board to a Duo 2.1 for an upcoming gig, wanted to keep it to essentials. Just get there, plug in and freak the Bass Driver to taste.

Could you describe what's your Opus sound is like?

I briefly got the Opus and before that the CabM+ for a long time, but I always ended up doing "too much of a good thing".

Ross from Two notes here! That's one nice board!

If anyone has any questions about OPUS, I'm here to help!
 
Very interested in that BassBalls+
@johnk_10 only did one but if there is enough interest he might do more. The added controls for Attack, Release help to refine the envelopes and Bass & Treble offer control over the 2 envelopes and where the cross over, he also baked in some dry signal to help it sit better plus it retains unity gain [often an issue with modding the Bass Balls IME].

Nasty Jazz
All about the Nasty these days, *** not!

No offense intended, but I am not getting this "when I can't be bothered...", "when I am feeling lazy...." in regards of a medium sized pedal board or any other small item.....
I am going for the best possible sound for the job every time (not talking about bringing a 80kg cab and 40 kg amp, but pedals or a small/medium sized pedal board). Yes, if transportation might be an issue, I am totally getting it, but "lazyness" or lack of motivation .....

As I said: no offense intended!
