Help build my practice board!

My amp, a Siegmund Midnight Special, is clean with lots of headroom. Any brand pedal will work with the 30X. Unlike the earlier 30 that had rigid pedal locator ridges.

Cool they changed those cases. Mine is the old version that just snap in there tight enough to scuff the pedals up.

I'd want a high quality amplike OD, something with very good volume knob cleanup at relatively high drive settings.
To have a nice broad spectrum of gain textures available without needing to redial settings.
Plus a mod pedal that can do multiple types: chorus, flange. phaser, vibe.
Or maybe a delay, as suggested above, if your tastes run in that direction.

I support this.

Id go soft clipper OD like a blues breaker, a multi FX pedal with delay, harmonizer, vibe, and chorus and then a kick ass trem/everb combo.

OK - screw waiting. Here is THE best answer you will get to this question:
#1 Dirt. But what dirt? Using a clean amp, with a lot of headroom I might want a little, or a lot, or a whole lot.
- The BOSS-JHS Angry Driver! A BD2 + The Angry Charlie one, the other, both in series or parallel...etc.
#2 Got to have some swirl....but what swirl? Chorus is nice, but so over used. Maybe a Phaser...but 45 or 90? One may be too subtle, and one too much. Plus, hard to control with one knob. Perhaps a Flanger, they can do chorus! But there are not that many Flanger opportunities. One never knows, and they are all individually a compromise, so a multi-midulation pedal is order!
- The EHX Mod11! All the Flange, Phase, Chorus, Tremolo and more you need to flavor it with a bit of spice.
#3 Last pedal....I know the amp has Reverb, but as cool as one knob amp Reverb is, there are times when you just want something else....Delay or Reverb? Delay or Reverb...
- The Wampler Ethereal! Delay (with a lot of cool functions, and a cool plate reverb (Your amp doesn't have that, does it?!?!?!)
Run those into the amp straight in the from in that order.
Get a separate loop pedal for "in the loop"

Sorry for the delay… 
This setup is going to be used almost exclusively for practice/rehearsal at home. Recording chord progressions then adding harmonizing chords and/or lead lines on top. The looper is essential to what I want to do. I want to be able to plunk this board down, plug guitar in, plug in to amp, and go. Simplicity is paramount, as I’m making a concentrated effort at increasing and improving practice time. Granted, all I really need is the looper, just trying to make it a little more fun. Adding dirt seems very popular, so there’s room for one more pedal!

For me it’s dirt and delay.
I like Ace’s Angry Driver suggestion. I also like the Carbon Copy suggestion. The modulation on the Carbon Copy can get a little swirl for cleaner tones. Then the looper of your choice!

I'm going to add another recommendation for the Carbon Copy. It's just an incredible pedal.
