I would do a boss based pedalboard, boss tu3->boss ps6->boss oc2 ->boss bd2waza-> boss fz2 ->boss bf3-> boss ce1 -> boss dm2-> boss dd20-> boss sl20->boss rc20xl
My first thought is EQD. They cover a lot of the bases, and the quality is outstanding. I'd go with (in no particular order): Monarch, Cloven Hoof, Sea Machine, The Depths, Grand Orbiter, Hummingbird, Afterneath, Disaster Transport Sr, Organizer, Warden, and, why not, Rainbow Machine. Just missing a flanger and envelope filter.
But VFE has a lot of bases covered, too, especially with the licensed pedals they're doing now. And, again, the quality is great. Again, no flanger.
Mojo Hand is another contender. But, no flanger... and no compressor.
But if money was no object, and I could convince him to build me an entire board's worth of pedals, I'd definitely go with johnk. For real. I bet he'd build a flanger.
For cryin' out loud somebody build a flanger!!

Mooer
In fact, I already have. Some of the pedals are re-branded (Donner) but they're the same and they're all micro pedals
Pure Boost > Baby Tuner > Re-Echo
I can hold my entire pedalboard in the palm of my hand.
My first pedalboard... Joyo
Dyna Comp > Tuner > Ultimate Drive > Classic Phaser > amp/effects loop > Classic Flanger > Digital Delay

I've always fantasized about an all EMPRESS board.
However, I could also do an all DIAMOND board.
Lately, I've been thinking an all DR SCIENTIST board.
EQD would be a Zany board, too – so many crazy effects to play around with.
Ideally, on any board I'd like to have all the FX basses covered...
Dirt/Gain: OD, Distortion, Fuzz, EQ, Wah, Filter Wah
Modulation: Flanger, Chorus, Phaser, vibrato
Ambiance: Delay, Reverb, Tremolo
Other: Pitch shifters/Octavers

DOHHhhhh, I forgot to mention...
FAIRFIELD CIRCUITRY
Were? You mean they aren't friends anymore? News to me!

I imagine an EQD flanger would be amaZingZingah...
Luckily Empress has the Nebulous and Diamond has the Quantum Leap. I think Dr Scientist has flanger covered in the Bitquest. Which would leave me with just my Fairfield Circuitry board needing some flangerama.

That would be tough making a board dedicated to one brand, but for fun, the cheapest would be a Joyo board, its be cool to have a DOD board(I almost did), Digitech/Hardwire would cover the most sounds(especially if you include DOD to it as the same company!!), however my favorite dirt pedals are a toss up between fulltone and fuzzrocious right now and my B7K is the BOMB so.......
Tech 21. The VT Bass and the Bass Boost Chorus would be hard to replace.
Hmmmmm...
DrScientist would work, SourceAudio would work, IE would also work.
Fairfield would definitely work, VFE, SFX, WayHuge.
It would be hard to beat Moog with the addition of the new mini foogers.
OR, thinking outside of the box, an all JohnK board would work because you could get almost anything you'd want...

I'd have to do EQD.

That would be Markbass for me (except for the Korg tuner, bc Markbass doesn't make a pedal tuner LOL!)
I still have a few more things to add (corner pieces, handles), but it's basically done.
My pedals from the tuner then right to left: Markbass Distorsore, Markbass Mini Distortion, Markbass Chorus/Flanger, Markbass SuperBooster, Markbass Compressore

EQD board for sure. Warden, cloven hoof, Sea Machine, Rainbow Machine, Afterneath, Disaster Transport SR, Grand Orbiter.
OR
Mantic Conceptual would be amazing.
Density Hulk pro, Flex pro, Isaiah Delay, Vitriol, Proverb.

Ya man EQD is a great choice, all the basses covered lol.
DOD works for me as I have quite a collection already, just missing a delay and flanger to have a complete pedalboard of DODs

Id probably go digitech. Because of my jamman. I use it as a foot controlled sampler and the majority of the loopers don't have the memory and can only save one loop at a time, with the jamman i can also do one shot samples which not many other pedals can do.
Also have a bass whammy on the board right now and there's not much out there to replace it. I use a m5 and like it but if i absolutely had to use one brand i can get most if not all of the stuff i get out of the m5 using the hardwire delay, reverb, tuner, and supernatural. Digitech also has a new small multi like the m5 i could go to.
Dirt would be the main issue. But considering i have 4 albums worth of material without dirt and am just now incorporating it into the stuff were currently writing i could go without.

HAHA That's cheating.. but smart! I didn't know, but he also makes compressors! Yeah for sure you could build a very, very fine board using only custom builds from john!

I could get by with some EQD. Way Huge is another good option.
Swollen Pickle>Havalina>Ringworm>Green Rhino>Pork Loin>Saucy Box>Supa Puss>Echo Puss>Angry Troll.
I could get down with that. All I would need is a trem.
EQD has more options though. I think id like that better actually.
Black Eye>Arpanoid>Pitch Bay>Bit Commander>Hoof Reaper>Dirt Transmitter>Zap Machine>Monarch>Palisades>Tone Job>Grand Orbiter>Hummingbird>Disaster transport>Afterneath>Arrows
Now we are talking!!!
