Show me your compact pedalboard setup

[Red Planet]

I checked this sort of drive out after hearing Kerretta and Russian Circles. This is the infamous version-3 of the OCD and I use it for more extreme parts or I squeeze the input signal with both sides of the Bi-Comp for hammer-on, synth-type sounds. A fun peddle to chunk around with. Grrr...

I too use the OCD Version 3 its perfect for bass guitar. Here is my small simple board.

The DC5 is a gem. With some carefully designed daisychains, I have it powering ten pedals on my Metro 20.

That said, Cioks has just announced a DC7 and DC8, both with 600 mA per output (!!!). That's quite the jump in available power from the DC5 with it's 900 mA in *total*.

Both fit on a smaller board?

Forego a board and just put some feet and velcro on this: Invalid Link Removed

That's nuts!

Yes, I saw the prototypes at NAMM and they looked awesome!

The DC7 had 7 outlets, all switchable from 9-12-15-18V with 660-500-400-330mA. And a 5V USB and a 24V DC output for linking. All this in a package of 160x88x25mm (6,30x3,46x0,99”) and 460g (1,0Ib)

I think he had 4, 7 and 8 but I’m not sure. I hope they will be released soon!

Worth mentioning for folks looking at other power solutions. Just snagged one of these on reverb last week for a reasonable price. It's the CS6 and it fits under Nano/Metro boards - 31 mm I believe. I'm daisy chaining one of the 500mA/9V outlets to carry 4 pedal, and easily powering 9 total with two at 18V. The new CIOKS stuff may be a better solution for people running lots of high-draw digital/mod effects, but this seems like a solid, lower cost option for boards in the 6-12 pedal realm.

Yeah. They're also releasing a new bracket for Pedaltrain boards that will fit the smaller boards

 

[Hypercaffium]

DC5 fits under Metro and Nano boards, you just need to do two holes.

 

[MyMusic]

At NAMM Cioks was showing new brackets for securing the power supply without drilling. The Truetone CS6 is nice also, but it was not available when I bought my ps. A lot of good stuff out there especially for small builds.

Hello!

I´m going to build my pedalboard but don´t know what should be the correct chain. What I got is:

Zoom B3 + Expression Pedal ( many tones but normally the compressor is my LMB-3)
Boss LMB-3 (using as compressor)
Digitech Bass Synth Wah (using as octaver, filter, synth..)
Mooer Fog (using as Fuzz)

I intend to get a chorus pedal so let´s assume it will have the dimensions of a boss pedal (when playing a fretless) so please consider a chorus pedal.

Thanks!

If you use the Digitech BSW as an envelope filter, you may want to think about putting the compressor after it - otherwise you'll lose some of your ability to make it "talk" by playing louder/softer. Also this may help to tame any volume spikes from the filter sweep.

Try the Fog in different positions to see what sounds best to you - fuzz pedals can be very sensitive to what comes before them.

I find i can get just about everything I need from this minimalist setup.

I'd prefer a g70 instead of a g75 but i cannot complain. Once Bass in tuned I do not need to step in any fx, everything is engaged all time.

 

[bassbuddy]

I just put this together today; they've all been lying around here and there, gathering dust for a while. Maybe I'll get them out more now!

Alright, update:

 

[Somnambulance]

Toan that’s thick and juicy and sometimes a bit weird

 

[Gravebouncer]

I should buy smaller board, since the pedals i really use can fit in this upper row.

Hey Compact Pedalboard fans... I saw this cool interview with Micheal League of Snarky Puppy -- and check out his mini-board! It's a cutting board with a Boss OC-3 two MXR pedals and a tuner... I would NOT call it elegant, but dang he makes it sound good!

 

[mattbass6945]

This thread has been a great inspiration. I had a big board and I'm looking to downsize. I think I can narrow it down to about 6 boss/mxr sized pedals. My question is, what's the best way to mount the power supply?! I'm looking into the truetone cs7 or mxr iso brick.

Looking for a smaller board as well. It looks like the nano+ is hard to find. Any other suggestions short of homemade or improvising?
