Excluding utility pedals like tuners, loop switchers and the like, if you were to put together a single-brand pedalboard where would you go?

Iron Ether.. I only have two of them on my board at the moment but could do my job with that brand.
If I had to I could probably make due with a 100% EHX board, save for the tuner, switcher & exp. pedals...
I would really miss the features of some of my pedals though, as EHX doesn't offer those exact functionalities that these pedals offer (not without modification at least). For example: Beast (oscillofuzz), Whammy (though they do have the Pitchfork now, although it has no MIDI), Scrambler (octafuzz), and my Moog Phaser & Super Delay (gotta love all those exp. inputs).
If I could get an endorsement deal with EHX I would be up for trying, but otherwise I don't feel the need to be monogamous when it comes to the pedalboard

Zoom if multi effects are allowed.
I could use a earth quaker pedalboard but I really like my boss HM-2 so Boss I think, then I get the RV-3 as well

That would be TC Electronic or MXR for me. But TC don´t offer a bass compressor or a octave pedal which I would miss rather badly.

Yeah If moog did a gated fuzz and an octave pedal I'd be set. heck they could probably fit both in one moogerfooger.
I'm torn between Iron Ether, Earthquaker Devices and Empress. If I only used the board with a band, I would pick Empress, but if it was for soloing only, IE would win. Earthquaker is somewhere in the middle, so I'll go with that.
I don't have the pic anymore, but my 1st full board was of course Boss-loaded. If I remember correctly, it went something like bass>tu-2>aw-3>cs-3>ceb-3>bf-3>rv-3>amp. Only the TU-2 remains.
Now, if I had to do it and replicate the board fx/utilities I have now, it would have to be MXR. I don't recall seeing a bass eq pedal and a an octave from Tech21, but if they did, it then would be a hard toss between these 2 makers.

I was gonna say the EXACT same thing, and add that MXR does not have a tuner pedal
With MXR and TC, it could be done. Single brand would be tough.
i tried to build a MXR only board, already have the Compressor, Carbon Copy, Envelope Filter, BUT then i didn´t like the Overdrive and Bass Fuzz Deluxe at all, plan failed.
I could easily do Moog, mini series pedals for my small board and then a second board with a couple of the big mod pedals and a controller.
I tried to build an ALL IE board this summer.. did not make it!
Now if Taylor made a compressor....
