Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Very cool board! Are you going into an amp or do you go direct with that board setup? I'm thinking of getting that MXR pre-amp and going direct as I use in ears with my band. Why two pre-amp pedals? I guess the obvious would be that the Space Heater is giving that tube like conditioning before it gets to the MXR?

Thanks
Yeah the space heater gives the tube thing and can use it as a dedicated boost. Gain maxed does add some dirt.
MXR for the xlr out and more tone shaping if needed.
currently just going to amp but may go direct to a board soon.
I have room to change the tuner to an MS60b or just add a dedicated chorus.
Chorus is really the only effect I'm interested in.
MXR pre is extremely quiet and I do like the Mid sweep.

I have chased "that sound" since I started playing in 1986.

Thousands and thousands of dollars later, two marriages, countless pedals, amps, and cabinets and here is where I am at. I am happy. Honestly, and I know I am going to get flamed for this, I think this is it. I have played this set-up for the past three years.

Playing through an ESP-LTD B5E equipped with passive Bartolini pickups (preamp removed), with this pedal board, plugged direct into the return effects loop of a Bugera Veyron M BV1001M (yes flame away again), through two Mesa/Boogie Subway 112's (magic) has gotten me to that sound I always had in my mind.
