Looking for a pedal that does the sweetest mid bump.

Everything fits perfectly. I think you're stuck. No solution possible. Unless you could do with a Less Big Sky. Flat cables? I notice you accept Mini's side jacks because you have too. Just going by estetics, have you ever tried the Grizzly overdrive? Excellent lights (and eq)
I've been looking for a top mounted Mini, but these are even rarer than the older models and I'm glad I came by the one I own. The Grizzly looks like it is quite big, but that's hard to judge because the housing seems to be non standard. About a week after I bought the Big Sky, Strymon released the updated version of the BlueSky, one of the updates being that the pedal is MIDI capable, and I kept entertaining the Idea of swapping the two, but the BigSky certainly has more oomph to it - and I know it is not common, but I quite like to employ different kinds of reverb in my signal. Flat cables are not really an option, in the lower tier of the board I have a Morningstar ML-5 that won't really fit if I used different cables.
The main problem with the EQ on my amp is that the amp is at home when the board is on stage.
I'm using IEM, sending the Noble's output straight to FOH.
That is my feeling, too. With the Body and Tone set in a very particular way, it yields usable sounds. Bump one by the tiniest of amounts and it's gone. Mine also does a hiss at certain settings I have not yet found the reason for.
I power the board with a Cioks DC-7 plus a Cioks 4 and the Ictineo has an isolated output all by itself, the PSU's are not in the direct neighborhood of the Ictineo.
question - isn't the BDPG based on the Submarine, and what essentially the Ictineo is?
Yessir. Plus if you have multiple instruments it’s easy to build a master output for each one. Beats guessing with a volume pedal.

BDPG is a boost pushing into a modded Submarine into a muff style EQ.
I really like the Tech 21 Q Strip, although I don't like it's large footprint. The high and low pass filters are a nice touch, although you can't control the frequency cutoff, but it's voiced well. I didn't have room on my board for it at the time, but I made room, as I really like it. The Source Audio EQ2 is also a nice pedal

Kinda big but has top jacks.
Not boutique but there’s also JHS Haunting Mids.

I'll +1 the EWS mid control.
Though looking at the OP's board, I'd run through the Cali76 and the Noble and call it done.

Lots of options, but the Broughton Parametric Equalizer has something special. I use it mostly to scoop out the aggressive mids that are usually there in my core tone. But it sure sounds sweet when that thing is engaged.

I've noticed that my Cali 76 adds some nice oomph in the mids. Love that pedal!
