That's why I didn't go for a Stomp... yeah, it'll do a hundred sounds, but I can't stand and don't have patience for menus.
Let me twist a knob to get what I want fast and I'm good
After some experimentation, here is the updated board
Signal path is now:
Bass—>TU-3—>OC-5—>DS-1—>DG M900v2 —>CEB-3—>L+HPF—>DG 212

Played an opening slot for Dragon at the start of the year, all very nice guys and they had a great show! That was a buzz
I usually use nothing other than overdrive plus chorus, but went stupid in the last 3 months lockdown. Thought I'd re-live the 80's for a bit.
Though, came to my senses today. Re-purchased the FC Barbershop.
Next image will be Barbershop plus carpet.

How’s the Dimension C on bass?
ive dabbled with the UAD plugin version on bass a bit and thought it was quite cool
DC-2 is very bass friendly, no bottom loss, but weirdly sounds a bit flat if used mono out, otherwise sounds great in stereo out.
On the #1 and #2 settings it sounds much like the way my first CE-2B does, like a "still chorus" or micro pitch shift with very slight modulation.
I got it several weeks ago as a boredom gimmick, but found it amazing for putting a the end for a true stereo effect. It does wonders after a short gate reverb.
edit: if it's any indication, I immediately found myself playing Asylum Party tunes, which I hadn't listened to for years.

Yeah my worry was that it needs to be run stereo to get the best effect.
I would never use it in mono. If mono is anyones only option, I definitely wouldn't recommend it. And summing both outputs to mono isn't much of an improvement for the standard mode. Summing to mono in SDD mode actually cancels out the signal significantly.
Stereo is brilliant. When things get back to normal and I start recording again, I'll put it on one of the mixer fx loops and leave it there.
Disco Volante board. Rechargeable and compact. The Mono platform riser can breakaway to be it's own uber-compact board. 
Found the PP helps bring in the lows that the Tube Screamer can lose. Kick Butt Coffee pedal (ie JHS Clover) helps as well.
Out guitar man uses a pedal board the size of Kansas, so I've narrowed my pedals down to what cuts through the swirling din.
oh wow! small world! One of my favorite places to play.
