“The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench - a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."
Hunter S. Thompson
Built this monstrosity today. For a new band I’m starting up. Many sounds are needed, hence the pile of pedals and MIDI controller talking to an Eleven Rack.
Signal chain:
Boss Tuner
Boss Compressor (used as boost, will be replaced in time)
Ernie Ball Wah
Whammy 4
Eleven Rack direct to PA
Second output of tuner feeds an Ernie Ball Volume and a M-Vave reverb set to shimmer mode, and it’s own line to the PA system
I've scaled right back and am enjoying the simplicity for a while. The Headrush is purely being used for effects - couple of delays, couple of reverbs, leslie, chorus, flanger etc. Guitar is running into an old Dunlop wah that's been modded by Chur, then into a fuzz made by Chur, my old MIJ 80's Boss GE-7, Marshall Guv'nor and then into the Headrush Gigboard. Have a Uni-Vibe in the FX Loop where I can also control the volume of that using the amp

I'm considering this route too. Analogue drives and a single multi fx to rule them all. My current pedalboard weighs a metric fuck-tonne.

This is what i do with mine, though i have been using the amp models in my hx stomp.

Yeah, I’m of the same mindset and think I’ll always have a pedal(s) for drive. But with regards to the effects side of things, the technology nowadays is so damn good that they sound equally as impressive coming from a top end Multi FX. What I have also found is that there’s less noise because I guess you have a cleaner signal path

Personally think digital emulations of drives sound a bit thin, plus they never have the ones I want...
Strymon Sunset sounds as good as any TS, Klon, RAT or Dumble-style drive as I've heard. I've blind tested and can't tell the difference. Only complaint is the Treble Booster being not trebly enough.

Spring is the comic sans of reverbs anyway.

interestingly, my Strymon Deco is a fabulous overdrive for low gain/slighty dirty boost kind of stuff. So digital drives can be great in the right context. Some good drives on the Line6 M5 too.
I just can't leave shit alone, off board are a wah, volume pedal (both on a loop after fuzz, OD, dist, compressor, and the boost), and expression pedal (for the Synth-1).... FS-7 is for tap tempo and wild feedback on the DD-8.
