Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Seemed to me that my OC-2 type device in front of the Bassrig worked well. However, the EHX POG, which created a lot more low frequency sub octave content, drove the Bassrig crazy even at unity gain. With the MXR Bass Synth being more like the POG in the -1 octave I wondered how it would behave. Thx.....
I went and tried to see how the bassrig would handle as much sun as I could stand from the mxr. It does distort but not unlike an amp would. With just sun it is less audible but te distortion actually helps it be heard. Of course while it sounds like it should, it’s way overdone at this point and not all that useful as it just pegs the mixing board and everything else after. I also checked it in DI mode bypassed and it didn’t seem to add any more issues than the mixer and everything else had. So it seems to handle it just fine. Maybe the POG has more fundamental overall.

I can get very unusable sounds out of the mxr, but most of them are still fun. But the useful ones are why I keep it on the board over other things.
 
Here's my new mini-board. Just the essentials for a quick practice or jam.

small pedal movements yet bigger sound.broughton azure drive10 (bottom board) swapped places with the dream crusher (top). terraformer and studio boost 2knob will gp to a bigger board or back in the shelf for a differnt pedal rotation or project in tne future. Pardon the settings as some
might have been moved. View attachment 7282575
Whole lotta Broughs
 
First of all, I've been very impressed with the quality and imagination of so many boards here. Great job, ladies and gents.

This is my first build. It's taken me a couple years to experiment; figure out what I like, what I need, and what I want to haul around - this is what I ended up with, on a 14x5.5 Vohalo board. Pretty simple setup. Will I be happy? Time will tell... that said, I do have some pedals left over...

If anyone in the EU is interested in the DiCosimo pedal, I am willing to let mine go as I got the amp in the meantime.
