Show me your compact pedalboard setup

[Mo'Phat]

For small power supplies - I'd go for something like the Mooer Micro Power supply. 8 pedals, isolated, 1590a size: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/mooer-micro-power-supply

For boards - ain't nothing wrong with homemade. Otherwise, look at Invalid Link Removed for alternatives to Pedaltrain.

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?

My Metro 16 has been perfect for me

Smalle pedal board PSU I would recommend the Strymon stuff

Metro 16 might be the answer. Fairly compact, but a little wiggle room in there.

Taken with my potato at practice, plenty of wiggle room for keeping compact

I just checked Musicians Friend and Sweetwater and both have the Nano+ in stock. My local Guitar Center (I'm in the Houston area) also routinely has them in stock. I'm surprised you're finding that they're hard to find.

I just checked reverb.com. I guess I need to expand my search a bit! I'm taking a trip to Guitar Center this weekend. I'll look then. I appreciate the head's up!!!

Wish I had more top jacks! The ultimate, never ending TB effects dilemma!
Looking at condensing to TU2>OC2>Solidgoldfx Funk Lite>Beta>Beta LM308>micro chorus or phase 90.

Btw, I appreciate the help instead of "Just use the search function, bruh." I've looked all through the thread and I tend to get bogged down with all the options. But, options are a good problem to have!

Nano, all top jacks. Utility and some fun.

Squoze a Nimbus in without losing anything. It’s set as “tasty little boost if I need more for a solo”.

PT Nano+ with a Broughton HPF/LPF sized gap.

@mattbass6945 , the Nano + is available at Sweetwater Music Pedaltrain Nano+ 18"x5" Pedalboard with Soft Case

Thoughts behind this were to also create a better DI for direct recording but also something useful for live applications. Since my amp (YBA200) has a great DI built in, I'm set for live (or studio) and can inject some sweet 'tubeness' into the affair. If I choose to, I can also use another DI box for direct too (ex. ART TubeMP V3) - if I need to.

It's pretty simple but very useful. I have a few real honest-to-gawd vintage pedals from the 80's so there's always the option to add before, or after, the chain. The choices incl. a Boss Chorus CE-3, an Ibanez AFL (auto filter), a 'real' EH Bass Balls and a Tokai TOD-1 Overdrive. IME I will rarely use these BUT they're nice to have, if I need need 'em.

I would use a Broughton Audio Parametric in place of the Ampeg Classic Pre but I wanted to keep this as simple as possible.

Most power supplies wont fit under a nano board. I went with a DC5. Was considering a Volto but went with the DC 5 because I also own a Rusty Box I use from time to time and with the switching options on the DC5 and available cables from Cioks I can power it from the DC5 rather than lug around its own power supply. It attaches but drilling the pedalboard and screwing it in place.

Mono makes some smaller boards.They are over priced compared to pedaltrain but I own a bunch of mono stuff so went with the Lite model as it fits in my Tick bag- no complaints.

Works like a charm!!!

It funny how whenever someone brings up Traynor they almost always are Canadian.
The Peavey of Canada - but better.

The rest of the world seems to be missing out.

Yet. in this case, I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York ;-) and still a'Murkin!

If USAians would check out some our stuff (Traynor) they'd probably be pleasantly surprised. We've been around since '63 and are still owned and operated by the same people. We are a family I've only been working here for 30+ years
