Rethinking my pedal board...time to make some changes.

So I am rethinking my pedalboard a bit. Here is what I have:

1. TC Polytune
2. Keeley Compressor
3. Tubescreamer Heaven 808
4. Barber Custom Shop Super Sport
5. Strymon Timeline (Controlled by Midi Moose)

New thoughts:
1. Volume Pedal (Ernie Ball)
A. TC Polytune
2. Keeley Compressor
3. Barber 1/2 Gainer OR Unlimited (@18V)
4. Strymon Timeline (Controlled by Midi Moose)
5. The Wet Mono Reverb

I try to keep my boards as simple as possible as far as what is NEEDED.

OVERDRIVE SITUATION:
My Tubescreamer Heaven modded 808 reissue is a gem. It really sounds great with my strat but I play my Les Paul half the time and just can't get it exactly where I want it. I got the Super Sport and think its a really great pedal but I play it with the gain rolled all the way off where it is a one trick pony. Just a bit too much gain. I loved the Barber LTD. Wow! Super transparent! Then I saw the 1/2 gainer! I love that it has the midrange control too! I can dial in some sweet strat tones then roll the mids off for the LP. Plus I can have just a touch of dirt on channel one, and a bit more bite on channel 2 for some classic rock / lead stuff.

ADDING A REVERB:
I was going to go for the BSR but the wet is cheaper, loved by all of you, they are located down the street from me AND I have a spot with my current power supply. I saw some demos and think this is the way to go.

VOLUME:
I have been opposed to a volume pedal for a long time BUT I have been getting into more ambient goodness and like many of you have been disappointed in my Timeline's swell setting. Thinking about just going with a passive ernie ball…any thoughts?

I think this combo is a good mixture to do just about anything with the fewest possible pedals...

(side note: I also just removed a rammy ramm drive II that I will probably end up getting rid of too)

ANY THOUGHTS?
