3 most essential for me are:
Wah
Overdrive
Reverb
I have a donlop mini wha on both my pedalboards. It is basically the size of an average pedal and it sounds great.
My mini board (the board itself) is literally a pedaltrain 3-pedal riser with rubber feet on it and I fit the mini wah, an SL Drive and a lovepedal 60's reverb on it. The whole thing is smaller than a lot of people's single delay pedal.
Since I don't have reverb on my two main amps those three pedals are the most essential (reverb, wah and overdrive).
If I am going to have 5 pedals, definitely the next one would be the lovepedal brownface deluxe which I use as a clean boost/sweetener, mainly a sweetener. For the 5th it might be a difficult choice between delay, tremolo and phaser. Im probably going to have to go with delay. (although another flavor of dirt might be needed like fuzz)
So my final answer for a 5 pedal small board is:
Lovepedal brownface deluxe (clean sweetener)
Donlop Mini Wah
SL Drive (super bass mode)
ibanez mini analog delay
Lovepedal 60's reverb
(If I had room for a 6th pedal it would be a nano big muff pi)
