Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Interesting. So you would send signal to the FOH that has not been adjusted for the room. To each their own I suppose. You must place a lot of trust in the sound person.

I was referring to a POST DI signal going to your amp/wedge or IEM.
But yes, I do trust the FOH tech. He hears best how my bass sounds in the mix. How do I know how my bass sounds in the mix and eq accordingly?

Anagram pedalboard Apr26.JPG

Got the Anagram a few months ago and the MXR for Christmas (thanks Santa!). Both of these boxes have a learning curve and I have been working up to this smaller pedalboard (Nano) for while. I've had it on a number of rehearsals and several gigs in the past few weeks.

I have not abandoned my original pedalboard, Metro 20 with: Cali76 => VT => Noble (with space to add at leas 2 other FX as needed for any given gig).
The Anagram based board is not meaningfully smaller/lighter than the Noble board. It does offer a lot in a single box, but I'm not a huge FX player .. usually just some Dist/OD as needed, Octave +1/-1, and occasionally an Envelope Filter ... all of which I have in std single pedal form.

I really like the old pedalboard and am still trying to decide if the Anagram based board offers me anything much better than the original one.

Jury is still out

First off I'm happy to see so many pedals used by so many bass-players. In one of my bands, I get chided for having so many pedals... "only guitarists use that many pedals"... then I have to remind my bandmates of what they contribute to our successful sound. Old school thinking.

This set-up is modular and I only use it in this configuration for one of my bands. (Bond Girl)

L-R; BBE Sonic Stomp / BOSS RV6 Reverb / micro POG / BOSS GEB-7 Bass Equalizer / AB box / Electro Harmonics B9 / MXR mini iso brick* / MXR d.i. + / Dunlop Brick / BOSS Tremolo / MXR bass chorus deluxe / CS-2 BOSS Compression Sustainer / MXR bass fuzz deluxe / BOSS TU-2 Tuner. I keep it linear because some of the stages we play have limited real-estate. This way, I can line the edge of my plot on stage minimally. Main train is in a repurposed Skill Saw case.

*not used in my band The Sean Conneries...

For those wondering about battery life, I paid more attention to it this time.

Last night, practicing and noodling, in about 3-3.5 hours battery went from 100% to 64%

This morning at church, from about 8:15am-11:15am - short rehearsal, left on, using the midi controller and WiDi Jack for page turning, playing 8 songs through out service and leaving on the whole time, battery went from 100% to 76%.
