Show me your compact pedalboard setup

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

I have been meaning to look into the settings on the Zoom to see if I might be able to make some adjustments without affecting the overall tone/sound of each patch. I will have to see what I can figure out. While the Decimators take care of the hiss between notes and during rests I do still have some hiss while playing. I think you are right in that I need to look into making some EQ adjustments - thanks for the observations!

This is about as Compact as I can get really. I'd still like a well featured delay pedal, a expression/volume pedal and an Octave pedal on it though. After that it will be complete.

I've been reading a lot of Ictineo threads and you seem to be in a few but I do not see one on this board. Did you ditch it?

Oh glad to help! Great looking pedalboard man! Clean and efficient.

Salud!

My new compact board, very straighforward: Tuner -> Compressor -> Delay (I really use it as basic looper and for a very few slow, spacey passages) -> Preamp/distortion. Power is provided by a mobile power pack to minimize electric noises from lights (I've had problems in some venues). The base is a Temple Audio Design Solo 18, great concept.

Edit: no strange, obscure and mysterious boxes here, sorry.

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.
Nice!
Did you know: The second output of the AT System 10 is a balanced DI output as well (you can send a dry signal and blend it with your tone). Love it!

Yes, I'm aware the two outputs on AT System 10 Stompbox can be used simultaneously for two different path of sounds. But, thank you for reminding me that the two outputs are balanced TRS outputs. Now I remember why I had wanted to get a TRS to XLR cable some time ago. AAMOF, I also have the System 10 amp top version and I've used the balanced XLR output on it (though this one only has a single balanced output).

Dry DI section on the right,
Processed clean or dirty DI on the left.
Wow, I count at least 6 balanced outputs on that board. Why do you still need the 2 Radials when you've had 4 already?

How are the two mentioned routings configured?

The left side Radial has all my effects and the right has a dry DI and the thru output runs into my tuner.

Signal Chain 1: Wireless Output A -> MXR M80 -> MXR M87 -> MXR Phase 95 -> Sansamp BDDI V2 ->Boss CEB-3 -> TC Spark Mini -> Radial SB-2 (Left side)

Signal Chain 2: Wireless Output B -> Radial SB-2 (Right side)

Here is a sample of the tone I'm able to get:

That's a great tone you got going on there!

Have you ever tried the balanced output from the AT System 10 Stompbox directly to mixing console/recording interface?
