Right up my alley! Can you explain signal chain here? As I know Capo has loops before & after... Very interested how you have it set up

tuner/mute>capo in>capo pre loop send>oc2>comp>sonic spark>red dragon>capo pre return>capo post loop send>chorus>phaser>rev/trem>capo post return>capo out>sb more>thumpinator>amp/cab(s)

In the pursuit of tone, looking for some inspiration … a question for all, what pedal(s) are the cornerstone of your tone, essential elements you can’t do without, always on your pedalboard, perhaps always ‘on’ too?
For me it’s the spectra comp (to add presence to the D & G strings particularly up the neck) and Boss CEB3 chorus (just a hint) - both always ‘on’.
 
@Dede Arneaux For me, it's the combo of a Sushi Box (London Underground, or Underground Accelerator), and a Broughton Omnicomp. The Sushi adds great tube colour, and saturation to any amp I plug into; it's the literal basis of my tone everywhere I go. And the Omni (unexpectedly) adds a certain "je ne sais quoi" to my tone, but is primarily a limiter to catch any big transient spikes. They are both always on.

After much reduction...onto a Soyan 14x10.6 board (Amazon).
MXR Bass Comp > HX Stomp w/ C4 Synth in the effect loop. In the upper right, is a Beelink SER6 Pro (Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU) running Ableton, HX Edit, and Neuro editor. KMI Soft step is the extra special sauce to handle looping in Ableton, stomp mode in the HX, and parameters in the C4. One single USB-C runs from the PC up to a touch monitor and an Ableton Push controller, and handles midi to a modular synth and Microfreak synth. Bonus is the HX Stomp R-input brings those synths into the mix, as the HX is also my audio interface! I just need to sort out the wanky power supplies, as my 1-spot is right-angle to the power strip and just doesn't tuck under nicely yet.
