Show me your compact pedalboard setup

First time winning an ebay bid. Got this Cali76 for $200usd. Quick board update.

I just switched to a slanted Onstage board to replace the flat Pedaltrain plus switched to EBS ribbon cables from Ernie Balls so I could fit the Bass Clone on the end. Wondering if the new MXR Bass Synth could replace my octave and chorus pedals so I could fit my Phase 90 on there?View attachment 7303354
I made patches on my mxr bass synth for chorus, plain envelope and octave. It covers those well. It doesn’t have the up octave which I miss from the polyblue, but have to keep it compact.

Current setup:
  • Pedaltrain PT-PB3 Booster with janky rubber feet and a Cioks Sol underneath (fits perfectly with no room to spare).
  • Empress Bass Compressor into JHS Spliter.
  • Split side 1 to amp.
  • Split side 2 to Tonex One to SushiBox Finally v2 to FOH/DAW.
The board and the Sol have room for one more mini pedal. I'm thinking about a dedicated chorus to go before the splitter, but may get another Tonex One since it could do that plus a whole lot more. I really like Tonex for my primary sound. Currently using their Lucid Dreams SVT preset most of the time.

If you like the sound of the Tonex why aren't you sending it to your own amp?

I'm using the Tonex as an amp and cab sim, so it'd be like sending a miced amp into another amp. I did that for a while before I got the splitter, but the amp definitely sounds better without the extra coloration. (Note that I tried both the regular input and the effects return.)

The amp is strictly for monitoring, and mostly for my bandmates' benefit since they haven't adopted in-ears. The Tonex feeds FOH, my in-ears, and gets recorded if we're doing that. I could certainly get away with just the amp, but the Tonex sounds pretty darn good, doesn't have any bleed from the loud drum kit next to my amp, and is consistent from night to night. Just my current preference and I'm lucky enough to have access to both a good amp and a good amp sim.
 
What is inserted in the Drive loop of the EBS pedal?

Do you realy set the Tone knob that low?

THX
Nothing in the loops at the moment. I found that I don’t want the EBS on all the time to I need other stuff out of the loop.

I do use a fairly low tone setting sometimes. Depends on the effect I want in the mix. No idea what frequency the filter span is. Would be nice to know the range of that control.
