I’m trying to figure out a hybrid rig that, using the same parts, kind of can fulfill whatever scenario I throw at it. Mind that this is for home use only for now, so my needs are low when it comes to reliability etc.

Analog board (DOD Chthonic fuzz, Fender mini comp, Precision Devices Horizon Drive, Wampler Euphoria OD) going into an ENGL Fireball 25. FX loop out to a Ibanez Pentatone EQ. Then depending on my whim for the day it goes to the Chaos Audio Stratus pedal I just got(far left on pedalboard) for modulation, delay and reverb and into FX return and finally out to 1x12 ENGL cab with a V30.
If I want/need headphones/monitors or doing recording I run the loop into my HX Stomp for power amp capture, IRs and then post-effects. I get the power amp capture from the NAM XT app running on my phone or Mac for now, but hoping they get AIDA-X up and running on the Stratus pedal so I don’t need phone or computer to run it.
The FB25 has a resistive load and line out after power amp but to me it sounds and feels better running a capture for the power amp instead.
In front of the pedalboard I also have a BOSS wireless foot switch attached to the Stomp via MIDI for snapshot switching, with options of adding additional foot switches and an expression pedal I can map to parameters on the Stomp . And finally there’s a channel/mid boost switch for the amp on the pedalboard as well.
TLDR analog up front, digital in the back, or going to 1x12 cab. This is basically all the stuff I have at home except guitars!
