Show me your compact pedalboard setup

[Hajimo]

Here is my bass pedal board. All mogami cables on a Gator board. It is brand spanking new, so I am SURE some of the pedals will be switched out the longer I stay on this site! The OCD made its way over from my guitar board. Not sure if it will stay either. I don't often pick, but I attached a pick holder on the side of the tuner

Along with the OCD, I had a EH Soul Food on the guitar board. I know it is a bass forum, but here is the guitar board currently.

Still the same size board but added a pair of Decimator II's. Really digging how they work. The only pedals secured are the Zoom, the MXR compressor, and the Boss TU-3 using velcro. I have yet to determine the "final" positions of the Line 6 and the Decimators.

That should be a reasonably quiet setup without the Decimators, why do you need them?

 

[Das Jugghead]

For some reason I have a lot of hiss - the Decimators took care of that.

How are you powering things? I bet a decent power supply would allow you to drop both Decimators.

My first whack at a board and it was fun putting it together.

I am using a One Spot isolated power brick.

Well that's a decent power supply.

Didn't realize the Zooms could be so noisy.

It is not overly noisy all the time but certain patches have a lot of hiss and when I turn my rig up at rehearsal it is definitely a problem. I had the same issue with my Sansamp RBI's.

Here's a new iteration of my tiny board. Tuner got kicked to the side to make room for more overdrive.

I need a submarine!

Yeah it's cool. I thought it would be sellable when I got my Studio One, but they compliment each other quite nicely. I'm essentially dialing in my basic tone with the Ictineo, and then fine tuning EQ with the Studio One.

I have an MXR pre that is also a DI. That will be hard to give up but I really want to try one of these Icteneo's.

Why give it up?

 

[NKBassman]

I've actually been considering adding a few strips of loop-side velcro to the top of my Aguilar Tone Hammer so that I can stick the Studio One (or any other pedal) on top of the amp and free up a bit of room on the pedal board. The only problem with that would be needing a second wall-wart power supply for power. A lot of our small town bar gigs are already a pain in the ass when it comes to power.

A few changes including an isolated power supply, hence:

I dig the knobs, where'd you find them?

I dig the knobs, where'd you find them?

I got a load of them from Maplin Electronics in the UK a few years ago and now they don't stock them any more!

They are the soft-rubber push on type but I didn't use to use them on all my pedals because sometimes the bottom of the knob would make contact with the underneath of the pedal surface and would stop them turning freely.

Then one day I had a bright idea of filing them down on abrasive paper until the right fit. Now they are on everything as the contrast of white indicator line against the black makes them super easy to see in poor light.

NPD (thanks, Broughton) means this board is complete. All designed to be used with acoustic acts - subtlety is the name of the game.

Kind of odd, now that I think of it, to spend a few hundred bucks for equipment that, when used properly, the audience can't tell if it's on or not.

 

[Aidil]

Does this fall into category of compact pedalboard setup?

The routing cables are on preparation and I'm still waiting for the pedaltrain Spark to hit the market for powering the wireless and the Zoom from underneath the pedaltrain. So meanwhile, the two are still powered by their own wall warts.

Might be an EQ thing? high presence settings can definitely add hiss.
