finishing pedal board advice

i'm trying to finish out my pedal board and be done with it for a while. i'm mainly into john mayer tone and play mostly blues music. i'm playing a two rock classic reverb and using lava elc cables. currently i have

ts-10
sparkle drive
keeley bluesdriver
keeley katana
boss tu-2 tuner
rmc 1 wah
t rex replica delay

here are the pedals i'm thinking about getting. zendrive, bluesbreaker original replica kit, boss rc 20xl, maybe a vibe.

are those overdrives going to give me some different sounds that i would use for a mayer type tone, i don't want to be redundant with my setup. Then i know i'm going to get the looper because i need one.

i've seen alot of players including mayer have a vibe pedal but i've never played one or know much about them. where would i use them in my tone. also any other pedal ideas would be appreciated.

thanks

Well, you have the overdrive section covered for Mayer (in my opinion).. A vibe can be used as a subtle effect or more in-your-face Hendrix vibe...

The Looping Station could be handy for practice and fun however..

I just picked up the Dano vibe. While it's not a high end piece of gear, it does have plenty of useful tones. I find vibe to be a warmer phaser type sound, very pleasing to my ear. One of my favorite blues slingers, KWS, uses a univibe quite a bit. I think a vibe would be a great addition to your board. It sounds great either playing chords or soloing.

If you're a tone freak, (you do have a two-rock)
you wont like the boss rc 20xl. (I had the double pedal, newer version)
The recorded sound lacks alot of clarity, tone, quite diminished.
If you're not then get one (you do have a two-rock)

i have heard that the rc 20 isn't the best tone wise but i have to have a looper for my trio and i think im going to need longer than 14 seconds. i think i saw one at a trio concert on youtube off to the side of a microphone
