The most economic board for Noble and Cali76?

Hi folks,

please, could you recommend the most spatially economic pedalboard to fit the Noble DI and Cali76-TX (the large one)?
I want to carry just these two, and am sure some of you already use a similar configuration.
Is Pedaltrain Metro 16 a way to go?

Also, if I wanted to add a tuner to the board, how would you route it so that the signal from the bass to the DI does not travel "through" the tuner?

Thank you!

In terms of the space question, I use a Rockboard. It’s either a 2.0 or a 2.1 (I can check when I’m home). I’m pretty sure it would need a bigger bag than the one the board comes with though to ensure it closed (again, I can check when home).

Mine stays on my desk as part of a recording set up so making it the absolutely smallest I can wasn’t the overriding aim; I’m interested to see how others may have done this.

This is prime for figuring out what you want: Pedal Playground

Assuming you're going Cali76TX -> Noble, just run the DI output from the Cali into the tuner.

Great, thank you!
That is a sweet setup you got, I am aiming for something very similar, Rockboard might be the way.

Thank you too!
Pedal Playground is very helpful.
Yes, I will probably go from Cali DI to tuner.
My only concern was that the tuner will not be able to detect the frequencies properly once the signal is compressed and colored by the Cali.

the tuner should have no problem detecting the frequencies regardless of compression applied.
Connecting this way you will lose the ability to mute the signal while tuning though.

I am not sure how long a board is required, but a great small solution I use is the expression pedal attachment sold by Holeyboard, which is 13x5.5". It's light, strong and low profile. Its' only drawback is that if you want room underneath for a power supply you'd need to find higher feet. I use it with a 1-spot daisy chain and actually prefer the low profile.

Thank you, I was not aware of this manufacturer.
I like that they are offering something different in this realm.
This particular module really seems to have just the right specs!

Pedaltrain mini is discontinue but they are still out there and pretty affordable. It’s deep enough so the big cali fits with no overhang and it fits in the included case.
