Multi modulator pedal?

I had a similar thing as OP — Nano board, wanted modulation, had to have top jacks, prefer easy interface — but the UK I had didn't last long. I was mostly using the chorus, and the sound just didn't do it for me. Moved it for a CE-2w, which sounds amazing but I'm also not in love with, so I'm guessing I just don't love playing with chorus and am now on the hunt for something else.

I have some SA, Vox and Zoom multi's, and the EHX Ocean 11. They sound good to very good on most stuff, and I use them demo-recording, or in casual, sit-down jams.

Otherwise, they are a PITA to bend over and re-set (can't see that far), and to recall setting for the indiv. effect.

And I like my effects to sound great, so I prefer dedicated pedals for that, even if I might switch among 2 settings on 'em (Electric Mistress and Nano-Verb come to mind, Plumes (EDIT- not modulation, but I could use 3 of these onna board) ...) or adjust their one setting (ex., subtract or add compression/boost onna 'pressor, or "sustain" onna Muff, wave-types onna flanger, modulation onna chorus or delay).

what about this: Mod Factory MKII_MOOER Audio

Have not used it myself, but saw it referenced in the recent mini pedal thread

This pedal looks perfect for my pedalboard!

I'm going to find out how its quality is and how it goes with a bass

Looks like a clone of the EHX worm just buy one of those

It is also an option, I am going to look for information, it is still a bit big, but it could fall a bit by force jajaja
 
One thing about the Utility Knife is that the chorus and phaser both sound pretty unique, so not everyone will get along with them. They are both bright, with the chorus having an additional, almost reverb-like quality to it, and the phaser is 6 stage, very chewy and vocal.
