Alright so the board overhaul is finally happening. Here's what I've got so far.
1) boss tuner
2) Fuzzhugger Algal Bloom
3) Mellowtone CC/DC
4) (on it's way) Subdecay Echobox
so the question is, what should I go for next? I was thinking either reverb, or flanger? maybe I could use an overdrive of some sort? and eventually I'll be picking up a Diamond Compressor, but that's after the board is essentially done. WHat would you do in my situation?

I think modulation would be good, the CC/DC is a slick OD so...

Dirt transmitter, definitely. Very great carpety fuzz with the bias rolled back or just ripping fuzz.
Or do you prefer non-dirt for your next pedal?

The Unpleasant Surprise is definitely rad as hell too if you're looking for a second fuzz. But first I'd get some verb up in that booooooard!

Randy or modulation? The faye sing is awesome, or a sea machine or something else crazy, or an Upper for dem octave tones or a seriously brutal fuzz.

Maybe an awesome verb? You could get anything and it'd be awesome, totally depends what you want to play.

Yusssss. The quantum looks awesome, I totes want one although the lack of exp control is a bit of a bummer. RRRs look amazing too, I really need to try one, I've never been big on reverb but I feel like it might be the pedal that would change my mind.

I would definitely go modulation. Reverb has always been like the last thing I worry about. Especially since I can't ever make a decision about it. I really like my MXR M-117r, their bigger flanger. It sounds wonderful and you can get them as low as $100 on ebay like I did.

reverb, then modulation. you need something that can make everything floaty so you have the option of in-your-face or other-side-of-the-sky. to me, reverb is to space what echo/delay is to time...it's part of the essential space-time alteration toolset. modulation and filtering is wonderful, but for me it's a secondary effect. it's happening within the audio environment the space-time effects create, and creating that environment is the essential thing for me.
