i REALLY need a hand here, my FX are just to heavy, anyone gigged a zoom b9.1ut?

I have searched but not found anyone gigging one of these that i can tell..

I use a pedal board thats not crazy but is just too heavy and takes up a lot of room, but most of the stuff is pretty essential.
It goes......

Samson Transmitter........digitech synth wah (needed for a song).....Zoom 506 (needed for a song)....LS2 (switches the zoom out the signal chain)..........wah (used in a song and segueway)......chorus (used a lot)......tuner......hartke VXL (always on for the preshape, drive channel is used LOTS)......compressor.......noise suppressor...AMP

So nothing crazy or zany or extraneous, but its all mounted with a psu (gator gbus8) on a pedaltrain 2 and STILL weighs a ton and takes up lots of room when you play in a 6 piece.

SOOO... multi FX perhaps? i tried a boss GT6B ages ago but hated it. I couldnt get near the sounds i liked from my zoom and more importantly the levels were all over the shop!
I dont want to model amps, i have one! or any of that guff, i just want a smaller, lighter effect solution that allows me to add individual effects to my sound like stomp boxes do. Ideally some kind of global EQ so that i could replace the hartke would be great as that preshap setting is prety much crucial to my sound but im sure i could replicate it and set and forget with the right EQ.

The critical thing is where the boss let me down, i just want the effect to come in at the same damn volume as my clean sound, everytime!, Not ok at home and then too quiet or too loud each time i have to unplug the thing. Real straightforward set and forget, like pedals, but less of a pain to lug about!

So the zoom b9.1ut has come to my attention, but i cant try one out as i cant drive and my local shop dosnt have one, cant seem to find the things second hand either, so im staring down the barrel of a potentially very expensive mistake (like the boss) if i buy one, and its back to the same old business.

Has anyone gigged this unit for any time?, can i just set an overall EQ and COMPRESSION and then just press a pedal for chorus, just chorus, not chorus and 1969 fliptop precision, room reverbed, output corrected wangeflobulator!!

just one for chorus, one for drive, one for chorus+reverb, one for wah, one for synth, one for flange etc that just adds the effect to my sound as is at the same level everytime!??

Help!

Cheers all, sorry for ranting a tad lol

The M9 would probably cover it in spades, though I believe it to be considerably more expensive than the Zoom. If you sold the other effects to fund it, you'd probably get close and not miss them. The synth clips I've heard (posted recently by taystee) were pretty good and had all the bsw type tones available in there, and the drives, eq, and modulation were good too. I'm not well versed in multieffects, so just passing along the info of the one I do know about that would, price aside, do the job very well. It also has a tuner, a looper, nice delays, etc, and in a very small package setup like a few stompboxes.

If I remember correctly, JimmyM has gigged with the Zoom B91 regularly for a while successfully- maybe he'll chime in and give you the lowdown.

It's the new pedalboard style multieffect from Line6-- basically an M13 with the same brain and the body cut in half. There is a thread a couple pages back with all kinds of info and soundclips of it posted by user 'taystee' and others. If I remember correctly, it fits on a PT Mini!
