I had no idea that I’d be getting judged by what the thing looks like. I figured pedal talk would be first topic.
Welcome to Talkbass, where folks are frank and tell it like they see it. ;)

It looks like a good start, to me, but I'm not personally familiar with some of those. If it makes you happy, that's all that counts.

I think pedals are very subjective. If its getting you a great sound, then its an A+. Now, routing and board set up, that's worth rating. You did say, rate my board, not rate my effects choices.

I don’t know your primary genre, but I’m guessing doom/stoner/speed/industrial etc., given all the tonal distortions and delay going on with your pedal. I regularly play the fairly commonplace wide-coverage rock/blues/country bar-level gig and I can say that I personally wouldn’t have any of those pedals aside from the tuner for my schtick. My pedal rig is simplistic yet versatile enough to keep my sound pretty much the same regardless of venue size, shape, playing climate, yada…. And it generally gets turned on, tweaked, and left to fly for the night. So MY rating of YOUR rig for MY purposes would be about 1 out of 10. For your use case it may well be 10 of 10.
