Heavy and huge but indestructible & foolproof, and no power required.
Mine's close to forty years old and still going strong.
I've gone through several Morleys in that time.

My kick switch pans between the two amps
It was weird to get used to hitting it, but now it is no big deal.

Stereo reply. I get it. Nice.

I figured that I am going to set up a second amp soon. I want to pan a dive bomb in one song and a few other touches so getting the timing down is going to be key. I want the sound to be fluid from speaker to speaker with no jumps or drops in volume.

Empty slot is where my wireless used to be. This whole board (including channel switcher) was just replaced with a Mooer GE300, so it's now relegated to my rehearsal space. Mooer effects don't sound as good, but the trade-off in terms of weight, size, time and headaches is worth it.

I think it needs to be hosed down, though!

Heh, you're not wrong. That there is baby powder. Use it as part of my stage getup and it just gets lodged absolutely everywhere. Not quite as bad as glitter, but I have found the insides of my guitars (as in the rear cavity for the tremolo assembly) practically coated.

After going through a bit of an adventure trying and trading a couple dozen fuzz/distortion/OD pedals I've come up with the ones that I really like and then that triggered a re-think and rebuild of my board (also let me vacuum away all the crap that was getting stuck under the pedals, which is nice). So far, seems to be working better for the sounds I want to hear now.
Signal Chain in front of the amp:
'76 Fuzz -> Wah -> Autowah -> Phaser -> BD-2 -> Compressor -> Plasma Pedal
In the amp loop:
Delay -> Tremolo
Still debating if I'm going to keep the autowah there or swap it out for a flanger again, but overall it's getting there.
Very cool board! I love the Small Stone, and the Deja Vu, too. I could also use the Blues Driver as my only source of gain.

I'm sad they stopped making the Deja Vu. It's a pretty cool delay - switch between digital or analog repeats, throw any pedal you want in the effects loop (flanger for warbly tape type delays, pitch shifter for that shimmery thing that people seem all about), switchable between buffered or true bypass, and tap tempo with subdivisions so you can easily stay in tune when the drummer lags a bit.
I have a love/hate relationship with that big box small stone. It can be a little noisy, the build quality of the pedal internals is terrible (I've had to take it apart because the jacks are too close to loose wires inside and short out the circuit sometimes), there's a little volume drop when you kick it on. Because of this I've gone back and forth several times swapping it out for a Deja Vibe which can get in the ballpark of some sounds, lets me control the output volume, has rate that can be controlled by your foot, and is built like a little tank. But there's something about the small stone that I like for writing music - It's very easy to dial, and there's a pleasing smoothness to the sound. I also modded mine with some switches to kick in different capacitor values to kinda do the univibe throb thing so it covers that base when I need it.

Our DejaVu setting aren't too far apart. Mine goes direct though.

That's been kicking around on my board for a loooong time. It's a gen 1 Empress Trem (apparently they've discontinued their tremolos now?) . . . I bought it around 2006 I think? The tap tempo has been acting up recently, I'm going to have to tear it apart and see how hard it is to replace that momentary switch one of these days.
I actually ran into one of the guys who founded empress effects when I was going to university. He seemed like a nice guy. The trem and fuzz are my only two Canadian made pedals.

Maybe not traditional metal sounds, but the plasma pedal and that fuzz can both get pretty heavy:
The plasma pedal has a clean blend, I've been experimenting with running them in parallel.
