And this is my amp, and however many 5 pedal boards I need, but in manual mode it is usually:

- Boss Super Overdrive into amp
Post amp:
- Dimension Chorus Pedal
- Digital Delay
- Hall Rever
- EQ for lead boost
 
I see you got the MXR Talkbox how do you like it?

LOVE it!

It just slays for Living On A Prayer. Just simple and works. I indeed run the gain up pretty high. Maybe around 2/3 o clock. Level varies a bit from gig to gig depending on PA settings.

But Wah vs TB? No comparison.

Working on enunciating "Do You Feel." Still get the tube opening blocked on my tongue every once and again.

I pulled an "I'm OK" last gig was pretty clear...:18:
 
Yeah, it is not only a fun box but amazing sounding. I have the gain set at the same spot. I have mine first in the chain so when it is engaged it mutes the board. People dig Sweet Emotion and Hair of the Dog when I use it.
 
Direct to FOH ultra-mini pedalboard based on a Cornford MK50 model and powered by a USB battery. Fits in front pocket of my gigbag with guitar cable and XLR cable.

The Firebox is used for clean to high-gain just by riding the guitar volume and switching pickups, and the boost switch add compressor, boost and delay for lead.
As you can see I can add one more pedal but I don't need drives or boost pedals with that amp model. Suggestion?

Maybe some kind of modulation?

Flanger. You can get half a dozen different types of modulation to fit in one spot on your board
 
Pick up a used H9 not only will you have every effect you will ever need but you will be able to also loose the tuner.
I won't be able to power the Firebox and an H9 out of the small USB battery pack that fits under this tiny pedalboard.

That's what I was also thinking. Any pedal you recommend that can do flange + other modulations?
Needs to play well in front of the amp as there's no effects loop in the Firebox and I want to keep the XLR out.
And true bypass.

BF-2 is pretty much the industry standard and not crazy expensive, but given you only have 3 pedals you might want more flexibility so maybe a Walrus Audio Polychrome or, if it fits, a Dreadbox Komorebi
 
I don't want to go crazy on pedals for this, I already have an HX Effects on a second pedalboard with an Atomic Firebox MKII.
Just a utility pedal (flanger or phaser), and maybe an analog delay. It is just for some spice here and there.
What's your thought about Ibanez mini pedals (phaser, flanger and analog delay)?

My vote would be a used Keeley Dyno My Roto. Tri chorus, flange, and a good rotary sound. It's all manual and the level adjustment is sensitive, but once you get it dialed in it sounds great. I only sold mine to help offset the HX Effects. Used around $100.

You might also look for a pedal-size modulation multi, so you have access to flanger, phaser (my favorite), or chorus.
 
If you're a fan of the HX stuff, how about the HX One? Maybe a configurable single stomp would be perfect for this board.

The new HX One might be a candidate. Alternately, a Zoom CDR.

I'd suggest a Marshall Regenerator in a single pedal. See my Boss BF3 post also
 
I fogot about the HX One. They also made an M-series single pedal, which sounds fantastic (I still use an M9). So don't discount older, cheaper tech.

Their mini pedals are great except that the flanger is missing a manual control, which greatly limits it's versatility. If you want something small enough you could fit another mini pedal on there, the Joyo JF-327 is a great analog 4 knob flanger that sells new for about $60
