I would keep the Xotic EP booster, Wampler Ego Compressor and probably the Xotic BB Preamp I would probably buy the Earthquaker Devices White Light again too...

I keep mine simple, there's less chance of them breaking down.
Bass:  Boss tuner, Boss Compressor, Boss Bass Overdrive (sometimes).
Guitar:  Boss tuner, Boss overdrive, Boss Digital Delay.
 
And yes, they're both just piece of plywood with a power strip screwed on, and Velcro holding the pedals in place.
 
I've got a Boss GT-8 in a closet somewhere in case I want something different, but i never use it and don't want anything else.

Kenny, it is really good. Nice reverb. The 3 voicing deally bobs are very useful. I really love it. Great clean and all the grind you could want. FX loop. The Bassbreaker 18/30 looks to be pretty nifty too. Only one that doesn't come in a head. The combos come with a 12" Celestion V Type (except the 007) and that speaker is really good with my 15.

I'd get a Line 6 Helix. It has 90% of the tone of analog units and most people won't notice the difference. You can lug it around without a van or breaking your back. Plus, you can dial in whatever tone you want and switch FX order (and amps) on a song-per-song basis. Very flexible. Really nice.

Kenny and guys, I am looking to simplify and down size. I don't need all the various drive and distortion pedals. Right now I have a Tone City Sweet Cream and a J Rockett Archer. I bought a Fender Bassbreaker 15 head last spring and tell the truth you don't have to have a pedal for it. Ive been using the Sweet Cream with it through a Cannabis Rex and it is really nice. Actually way better than nice. ISD would like to see what people would get if the could get any delay, chorus and reverb pedals. The Boss chorus is still pretty good but if there are some good ones I don't know about I would love to hear. I think the midi board is something I should have any way.   


I've got the Fender Bassbreaker 15 combo and I love it.  Yes, I agree with you, you really don't need any OD pedals with this amp, it sounds awesome with out.  Yet, like you, I still experiment with the clean channel and my existing pedals.  I have a Marshall Blues Breaker and a Joyo Ultimate Drive (OCD clone); both give me really nice flavors of overdrive.  I have a Boss Chorus and an MXR Carbon copy on my board as well.  I use each occasionally.  I have really not bonded with the Carbon Copy for some reason.  I don't use much delay in my tone anyway.  
 
However, I too have the pedal bug right now.  I saw a Fulltone Full Drive 2 Mosfet up at GC a couple of weeks ago for $75 and almost grabbed it.  My band mate (Scandalous Grace collaboration) Sean has the same amp and grabbed the Andy Timmon's JHS AT Drive Pedal and said that he has found his holy grail.  I've got to get him to record some clips for me to hear.

Nice
 
The Main amp I have played out of for the past 33 years + is a Fender Super Champ (the original ) .
Every  so often I have also been know to bring out my 1966 Fender Vibroluxe Reverb out to Clubs .
 
IMHO , when you have the right amp for the sound your looking to get you don't need a lot of stuff .
 
Here's a pic of my current rather humble pedal board ....pic was taken this morning

Most of my playing career the only box that has left my house has been the SD-1 . The one in the pic I've had since 1983 ...it is all I have ever needed as far as a dirt pedal goes ...
all the rest of the stuff on my board is there to keep the other people I may be playing with happy
 
While we are at it , here's a pic of my Gibson Historic  R8 Les Paul and my SG ....pic was also taken this morning ...

 
nice rapping with you ,
 
Kenny

I'm pretty sure I'd replace it with the same stuff. Delay, chorus, Wah, tuner, flanger, octave and harmonizer.
 
All I ever really use though is the wah, tuner, delay and chorus.

Kenny, that white P-90 SG is a hon-ey! And people can go nuts over flames and quilt but give me a plain maple top on great guitar any day.
