Show me your compact pedalboard setup

What is the routing on that ?

At the moment it looks like you would have to keep running around the board to tune up between songs...

No running required, I have no problem reaching the foot switch. :)

As to being last in the chain, tuning works even with all pedals on - maybe not expected but true.
The only thing really confusing the tuner is detuned chourus, which is understandable.

I need some advice from pedal gurus. Thank you in advance
Here is a pile of pedals that i want to use... . I have never had a pedal board...
QUESTION.. What ORDER should these be in the signal chain...
I know there are two tuners. .I only use one though... I will never use them all together... Although i have run the OCTAVE into the M80 at times.. And I always have my tune first in line so i dont get any weird tuning if the chorus is on ..
Thank you for your help
I guess I would just number them 1,2,3,4 etc

Peterson Tuner
Boss Octave
OCD
Boss Synth
TC Corona Chorus
MXR 80+

Most people put their tuner first and their VT Bass last. I like to use the Sonny Landreth trick and put my tuner at the end of my chain so I can use it as a mute if I need to unplug anything. I also like to put modulation pedals (phaser or chorus) after my synth and octave because I think it makes both those pedals sound better. So if it was me, the end of the chain would be chorus>VT Bass>Tuner>DI

My new board. Compact was key. I made it 17.5" x 12" to fit an aluminium tool case, much like the case earlier in this thread. It's a pine board with marine carpet on it. It now has a fascia panel on the front for a cleaner look and to protect the pedals.

XDS wireless > Tuner > compressor > VT Bass > EQ > power amp.
Zoom MS-60B is in the effects loop of the VT Bass, which allows me to call up whatever effect I need, then turn the effects loop on. Works great.
The xlr on the VT Bass goes to the mixing desk unaffected by the eq.

I think he meant if he needed to unplug any other pedals (i.e. in case of a pedal or cable issue), as well as the bass. If the tuner is first in line after the bass, then the bass is the only thing you could unplug safely -- as opposed to if the tuner was last in line.
 
Thank you

yeah, grip tape or some rubber feet or the like.....great idea, lightweight and space saving......hope you don't mind if I steal this idea from you....lol

Go for it. Hope it works for you

Yep, that's what I meant. I picked up that trick from the Sonny Landreth rig rundown video on Premier Guitar
