Show your tidy pedalboard!

I've determined this is as tight and tidy as I can get it! Happy with every pedal, the size of the board, and every pedal has a purpose in my current band. How long will the board stay this way? It could be years, it could be minutes. We shall see!

The board is a Temple Audio Solo18 (18"x8.5"). All EB 3" cables except two 6" cables underneath from the Flashback to buffer to the output module on the side. I only noticed "big buttons" on other people's boards a couple of weeks ago, and have since become a fan of them.

Radial I/O > Polytune (buffer on) > MXR Bass Envelope Filter > TCE Sub N Up Mini > Diamond Bass Compressor > TCE Mojomojo > EHX Bass Clone > TCE Spark Mini > MXR Phase 95 Mini > TCE Flashback II Mini > TCE Bonafide Buffer (under the board) Power: Trutone 1Spot CS6

How are you using the mixer? Where are the XLR main outputs being routed to?
Giving myself more control working with two Bass channels, rather than leaving it to someone else to blend. From the ABY, A goes directly to BassRig A to mix Ch1. The ABY B line goes thru the first 3 pedals to the left then in the BassRig B, in mix Ch2. The Amp Out from BassRig B goes into the RV-2, 100%wet into mix Ch3.
The main outs from the mixer can go to PA's, FOH or another mixer.... or my mates stereo keyboard amp ;)

Current practice rig. Back to basics!

Might swap out the compressor for an overdrive, but I'm not using much of either right now so it doesn't really matter.

Well, I pseudo fit a mini OD pedal by rotating my pre and tolerating a few mm of overhang on each end. Hopefully it still squeaks by as tidy :bassist:

(Tuner --> pre --> OD --> comp --> cab sim)
 
Compact and tidy, board made from Ikea crate and handles, som paint and some hardware. Covers all my needs so far.

Signal chain : Wireless - Patch Bay (so I can plug a cable and bypass the wireless if anything) - Overdrive - Fly Rig.

The 2 switches on the top controls the patcheds of our lightning rig

Hi there,
I'm sure I've asked you before but what drive pedal is that? Looks like it has a ton of options!
Thank you,

My bass “pedalboard” is my Rumble Studio 40 amp, so here’s my OCD guitar board (which actually works quite well for bass, too): Compressor+ and Plexi Drive ahead of amp, Terraform, Carbon Copy, Equator, and Wiretap in the fx loop. These are my core effects. The Polytune 3, SDRUM, and whatever other pedals don’t fit hang off either side as needed.

My thing is modular flexibility...

I just added a Saturnworks momentary/latching selectable footswitch for my preamp Exciter and Compressor, TC PolyTune3 and a One Control A/B switch, setup for either a mute switch or two instrument input, with heavy Velcro connection to the primary Pedaltrain Nano. (The Xotic Volume Pedal also can swing out if I sit down to play, as does the Saturnworks Multi-Switch for the Strymon Mobius.) Pedal Python re-installed, too.

It's a wrap...!

GupTech Mad Honker, It comes in 2 versions, the regular one, which both the boost and the overdrive are in series, and the Parallell Mode, with a switch taht can put those in parallel. I use it in this mode, it acts just if it has a clean Blend.
