I have built a weird one in the past. It's made for band practice and fiddling around, we're using HX Stomps on stage.
Also I had to transport it back in the day, so it has handles. There's 2 'floors' to hide stuff and put pedals below that I don't need to access (Gate usually).
And now another specialty: I had to go with the Joyo PXL8 Pro Loop Switcher which is not being sold in Germany, only the Thomann/Harley Benton version which is identical, but only has 2 Amp switching Jacks. So I imported that and built a translation module to work with my Laney Ironheart Amp which uses a Midi Jack that does not use Midi. Weird design choice if you ask me.
It is still in use, but I'm about to build a new and smaller one also for gig use as I'm not happy with the HX Stomp anymore.

I don’t know when I can say this board started, but I’ll likely remember January 27th as the date it was finally functioning for a while to come.
Guitar > Wah > VP4 (Left Side) > Morningstar ML5R > Keeley Comp + > Decimator G-String > Amp Input
Effects Loop - VP4 (Right Side)

Right now my board feels sort of complete, the Cloudburst and Fable was my last additions… ..but who am I kidding, in a couple of months I’ll probably have swapped out some of the drive section and some of the delays 
Right now I’m screwing around with the patches on the GX-10, still think I prefer having a “Main” patch, but I’m actually having fun switching between wacky patches

The Acapulco Gold has been a bit of a revelation for me, for a one-knob-pedal it sure can do a lot of things! It chunks, it screams, it gnarls and to me is much easier to control than a fuzz.That's a board I'd definitely get along with! Nice choices there, kudos

This is something I'm experimenting with at the moment, it's a post-amplifier "wet rig" that I can use with either of my amps, and any future amps I get.
Amp > Suhr Reactive Load > Two Notes CAB M > [Wet rig] > Interface/Headphone amp.
Few more things to add to it and plan on running a couple of things in parallel with an RJM Micro Mixer, but this is a good start for now.

This is a fun experiment I did recently - I built a powerful little board around an NC. Of course this is right before the QC Mini came out, and I’m considering jumping to that as soon as more units are available. Running dual mono, I have one output going to the power amp without a cab impulse, and one going to the Canvas DI/Line Isolator with a cab impulse. For my clean sound and one of my leads, I have the expression pedal set to volume swells, for my main lead sound, when I touch the expression pedal it switches on an overdrive and turns on the wah (similar to the Dime Crybaby I love so much). This is a great feature to have in such a small unit. My cable management is acceptable for now as I didn’t want to cut cables for units that might be temporary. I’m not really utilizing the Mod 2 for much here other than combined power. I might look into the mod that has a wireless system integrated if I keep this setup long-term.
My 4 main presets are captures from my own amp
1. Clean - Road King Tweed with an RC boost up front.
2. Rhythm - 808 boosted Road King Red Modern channel 4x6L6
3. Lead - Mark VII IIC+ mode
4. Lead 2 - 808 boosted Road King Orange Modern in 2x6L6 2xEL34
Amps captured with the NC using a Suhr reactive load and they sound 1:1 with the real amp. It’s crazy amazing technology.

Running the Simplifier through the Tone King’s preamp out loop, and bypassing any cab sim from the Simplifier. Normal clean channel from the TKIP. Dirty rhythm from the lead channel of the TKIP. When you hit the bypass on the TKIP the Simplifier is activated for a more dirty Marshall tone. Halo delay is in the effects loop of the TKIP. All other pedals are before the TKIP.

I have questions. Basically about everything, so no specific ones.
Edit: And yes, I'm serious - and genuinely curious what all that stuff is, what you're using it for and how everything is operated.

imma post a walk thru vid with some clips soon, still pretty new with all of this and for me its a very steep learning curve so its taking a sec lol
top left is a soma lyra 4. its a drone noise box with delays and LFOs. you can tune the 4 bands of sound and then mess with them in a lot of different ways that get really crazy.
bottom left is an akai mpc live. basically a DAW / full blown production studio in small box that you can use on your couch while watching tv hahaha. you can add and cut your own samples with it, finger drum out beats on the pads, record to a grid, add effects, compose and arrange songs.
middle top is a flow 8 mixer so that i can quickly adjust levels of all of them and only have 1 output. i added numbers on the sliders that correspond to the numbers of each device.
middle bottom is an eventide h90. might change over time but right now im running the drum machine and akai into it but on dual paths so each only gets one algorithm. really powerful tool to sculpt the drums and make vocal samples from the akai sound like demons doing nitrous.
top right is an erica synths lxr drum machine. its dope. there are lots of ways to alter the sound and use different patterns within the same main project to keep the beat interesting and flowing.
bottom right is an elektron digitone. really cool synth. you get 4 sounds easily accessible so i use it for bass stuff, soundscapes, and synth sounds for creating melodies and adding textures.
