Getting ready to build a pedal board

Hey y'all i've been doing some research on bassefx.com, and this is what i have come up with so far. I am looking to be able to play a little bit of everything and pedals to play around with when i get the chance to solo. Tell me what you think. I am open to any and all suggestions seeing as i have never built a board before.

Daring Particle Beam
Red Witch Medusa Chorus
Pigtronix Philosophers Stone
Iron Either QF2
Pigtronix Envelope Phaser
Pigtronix expression pedal
TC Vortex
Aguilar Octamizer
Iron Ether bass Reverb
Iron Ether Polytope

You will only know how stuff sounds together by experimenting and playing with things. TRUST ME, you will change stuff, you will find stuff that sounds better/worse, orders your prefer better than others, etc.

Unless you plan on spending a boatload of cash at once, buy the pedal you think sounds best or most fun, and work its brains out. If you love it, keep it. If it's good, keep it or flop it for another pedal. If you don't miss it, you've only paid for one pedal. If you miss it, you know you can find a new one.

My board was gonna be designed and built; four years later I'm still not done...

Good luck on your journey! It's sure to be one.

I would love to be able to do that, but so far the only place i have found near me that sells pedals is Guitar Center and there choices are basically limited to MXR and Boss. I wish i could find somewhere to find more.

Classifieds on here will yield tons of variety to try... and since you are paying used prices, if you don't like it, sell it and move on to the next one.

Absolutely. I bet 95% of the pedals I've purchased in my lifetime were through the classifieds here. Super easy. Super awesome.
