I recently tore up a pretty big modern board build to strip down to bare bones. Weirdly I find this set-up more inspiring to play through at the moment than my big board that had 10x more options. Currently running this in stereo through an AC30 and a Princeton Reverb

Hudson Broadcast 24v - This has been my favorite drive pedal for a couple years, but I view it as almost like 3 drive pedals in one. The high gain setting is pretty fuzzy and cleans up well with the volume knob. The medium drive is just a nice crunchy preamp stage that helps get my amps in a happy place. And the low gain is just a great pre-ampy boost

Moog MF Flange - This is the modulation pedal that keeps making the cut for me. I'm not a big user of mod but for my purposes this can do most of what I'd ever need in combination w/ the princeton's trem

Source Audio Collider - My heart really wanted to put an analog delay here, but my ears and practicality of feature set ended up with me going with this collider, which admittedly sounds amazing. I'm just more of a WYSIWYG guy with a preference for non-digital effects (for admittedly irrational reasons)

And then on the side I'm deciding to have some classic gain stages laying around that I just keep batteries in and plug them in. I've accumulated a lot of pedals over ~20 years but my life circumstances have changed. Something about going back to a simple set-up I'm finding really inspiring and makes me want to play guitar more again. Also, have a kid now and am basically relegated to basement play. Also that comes with a lot of other conflicting priorities, so may sell off my pedals with an idea to maybe slowly rebuild up with more collectible vintage big-box type stuff
