Here’s the latest iteration of my Tonex pedal based board:
I definitely prefer to use Tonex as an amp sim combined with other pedals, and not as an all-in-one-solution.
Btw; I’m also in the final stages of putting together a board combining my Tone King Imperial preamp pedal with my Fractal VP4. After a lot of thinking and going back and forth, I think I have some nice ideas for that one. But I will have to verify that everything will work as intended. I have high expectations for it, at least!

Nice set up! Are you using the Cab M just for the headphone out or are you using the cabs too? I picked one of those up not that long ago and have been digging its utility so far.

Thanks, @dbagchee! I like it!
Both really, depending on which captures I’m running on the Tonex and the rest of the setup on the occation.
The reason the Cab M+ is there in the first place is that I want to have the El Cap and Golden after the Tonex amp capture and still have an headphone output available, and the Tonex doesn’t have an FX loop.
I generally prefer to use Amalgam DI captures on my Tonex. In such cases I either have an IR of choice selected in the Tonex preset or I use the Cab M+ as IR loader or cab sim. Then I can use the headphones out on the Cab M+ or run the XLR out on the Cab M+ to my active CLR wedge, to my audio interface and studio monitors, or to FOH.
I can also disable the IR/cab and use the XLR out from the Cab M+ to my Matrix GT1000FX and use one of my traditional guitar cabs.
I do also use some full amp+cab captures on the Tonex. I really don’t like IK’s attempt to let the user «remove» the cab from such captures, so when I’m using these full captures the Cab M+ is used as a DI box (no IR or cab sim) but with an additional headphones out.
Of course, the Cab M+ also offers other utilities that can come in handy, like an end-of-chain-EQ etc.

Getting ready to start rehearsals tomorrow with this setup. So fun to be using such a simple rig for a change

Legit rig! And yes, looks dead simple. That board would last me 10 minutes until I declare emergency and bring in a bigger one.

Do you think, that the Notadumble needs a switch for the 2 "channels"? Is it an oversight by JHS?

I think it would have been convenient. I can understand his reasoning, but the reason I chose it for this show is because is I’ll be using the boost side for some songs and switching to the OD for others. I can reach down and toggle it, but it would be convenient to have that on a switch.
Thanks! Yep, that’s exactly what I’m doing. The JohnH works so well I’ve found I can even use it instead of a load box for “silent stage” gigs. I feel like it prepares me for anything

Yes, it's crazy - but I just witnessed how the EHX Ripped Speaker crawled out of the storage closet, single-handedly threw the Dumbloid ODS off my board, and sat down in its place, while the hooks slowly sank into the velcro.
Seriously.
And now the Dumbloid is unembloid.
"No job for you! You're just an expensive Tube Screamer", everyone yelled at him. Poor fella.

That's a combination of too much Greek Frappe, medium ADHD, and my brain after playing guitar for 3 hours straight.

On the left is a Pepers pedals Dirty Tree, which is a popular clone of a TC integrated preamp.
It has a TC mode and a DT mode, the DT mode doing the same thing as the Fortin 33, which is basically a TC Clone also but with fixed values for the tone controls or something.
The other is a lichtlaerm key and gate noise gate, and beside it a Guptech Sun/Guul gate. They key off a split signal and sit in the loops of my amps.

I kinda wish I could keep every dirt pedal on here and I'm fearful of my future knowing I'm now curious about clean boosts and I'm getting urges to smell corks. I wish I pulled the NOTADUMBLE out of the box sooner. I'm trying to find the right combination to stack up going from clean boost to lead tone, right now the forerunners are the NOTADUMBLE, TD-Y and Vintage/Modern.
I think I'm going to grab a Fulltone Ultimate Octave to use for that Octavia thing over the Foxy. I wish I could keep that Lady Gaga pedal on there, but it's too damn big and I already have a pedal that's obnoxiously sized for what it does. The next pedals on my shopping list are the 2290P, Hendrix Fuzz Face and a Suhr Riot. I need Fractal to put out that power supply and I'll probably grab the loop switcher/MC-6 in between all that.

Update: after a thorough cleaning and routing/securing the power wiring underneath best as I can, this thing sounds INCREDIBLE.
C Standard humbucker guitar into bottom board, into upper board, into power amp or, with the Exegol bypassed, into front of slightly hairy amp:
