Show me your compact pedalboard setup

I have 2 Nanos currently. They're both pretty close to "end game" for me. The B7K would be the main one, the Vintage is for more old school stuff, or when I want fuzz. I would like Diamond to release a top jack Bass Comp Jr. that would be the one "missing" thing from the Vintage board, would replace the tuner probably.

I dropped 2 pedals when I put the ACG01 filter-based preamp in my bass. Very happy with that. So I went to a much smaller, homemade board, and had to drop the seldom-used reverb to do it (size of board).
I'm going to add a Broughton always-on HPF, so I'll have to add an angled piece to the board so there's room underneath.

Experimenting with a new cheap solution: the BRADA plastic laptop stand from Ikea, a whopping SIX BUCKS.
16.5” wide by 12.25” deep, and it’s angled up to about 3.5” off the floor - very similar dimensions to the small sized Gator Pedaltote. It flexes in the middle (like if i step with any weight onto the Transit’s buttons) so if I decide to keep using it I would mod it with some angle aluminum bolted to the underside or something, but for home use it’s fine, and hey, it was 6 bucks.
The long cable with the blue near the ends is from the chorus into the transit; need a shorter cable for that as it’s like a 10 footer.

In fact I did - compared it to the new Mooer Tender Mk II and the good ol' Boss OC-2.
Mooer Tender Mk1 and Mk2 Shootout (plus OC-2)
Is this compact enough? Because despite the looks there's lots of stuff crammed in here. I look forward to adding a cab sim and maybe replacing B7K with B3K, and then the board will be done.

Found this shelf on the street last night...just cut it at lunch and added holes...photos are out of order. Lots of potential here
Here's a new board I'm working on... Going from a Pedal Train Nano+ to a Nano with just what I need for my current project: Cali76 Compact Deluxe > Keely Seafoam+ > Source Audion Manta > Kliq tuner. I've got a Cioks DC5 underneath and it all works great, but the Keeley is kind of noisey sitting on top of the Cioks... I'm not sure what to do; I switched the order of the Manta and the Seafoam and it's still hissy. I might go back to a TC Corona digital chorus, which seems quieter on top of the Cioks. Any other ideas TBrs? Thanks!
it's a pedaltrain metro 16 and the velcro is 3M Dual Locking tape. Highly recommend both!

Heya @deepestend --> I like to hit the compressor first as I think it interacts best with the bass that way. With the Manta, it's a digital pedal so you don't need to "drive it" like an analog pedal to get good response; it's also got a drive unit inside it if I need dirt.
From A/B-ing, the noise-maker is the Keeley; not sure if that's just the pedal or b/c it's right over the DC5.

What brand are those 'switch toppers' ? (If I can coin a phrase ... is there a proper generic name for these things ?)
Nope, those are my own brand, StompPads, which I designed and make with my 3D printer. See my sig. Been doing them since before the Mooer ones existed; and I didn't even know about the Barefoot brand when I started either. Thanks for the interest!
