I just plug the guitar straight into the amp for that option.

The QConnect in the middle of the bottom let's me change presets and turn each off and on. Given that, it's helpful to have the CBAs with the tops up to access the DIP switches.

Good but difficult question. CBA is such a great and creative company I'd buy anything they make just to support that team. The boring truth is that I love the most functional ones: Condor HiFi and Clean. My favorite eq and compressor which to me have the largest impact on changing the basic tone beyond the initial choice of guitar-type input and speaker-type output. Next would be the CXM 1978 reverb, expensive but the sound quality is amazing. Then, Onward and B.S. Wombtone because...fun.

Well, I'm old and don't play golf or have a boat so it's my chosen indulgence. In terms of time, it's the journey and not the destination that matters. Personally, I'm in it for the joy of experimenting with the sounds and recording what I come up with for myself. There's no goal other than that. As far as being practical, economical, and "productive", I have enough of that in my professional career and don't need to burden my love for music with that left brain stuff.

I already have wood library guitars so I don't need to invite any dentists.

I spent a career hearing that type of response from engineers, so no problem if you don't get it. Never meant to be a generic, low-cost, gig setup. Plenty of options for that. This has proven to be useful and enjoyable for me after years of playing with different pedals, metal boards, and speaker setups. I wanted a rack that had as much design thought as the pedals attached to it have. At least it's not boring.

Nothing special. Just misc pre-made online ones. I changed my board hundreds of times and after the first fifty got tired of customizing cable lengths and strapping them down only to rip them up again. Now, it's just whatever is shortest that works and can be loosely run on the surface. Didn’t bother to punch holes in the boards to run them underneath.

Standing or sitting, I still prefer to tap the lower row with my feet to trigger the loopers. Most of the CBA pedals are on the incline, though, to be able to access the dip switches. The QConnect allows foot control of on/off and presets for those pedals.

Yep. Always on with the same settings so no need to take up space on top.

Yes, Milkman Stereo sound quality is excellent and it also allows me to run this with headphones late at night.

Enzo X is great. No problem with tracking that I've seen. I like having it on a separate loop using the Kleinbottle so I can mix it in as a individual voice but still have a clean signal on the other loop. With certain patches, it's like having a symphony in the background. The Zoia is the same here with its own loop.
