Not that it's a copy (you have a number of different pedals) but do I sense a hint of Juan Alderete in your choice of effects?

As for suggestions, it's hard to give any without knowing what direction you are going. Personally, I couldn't live without a filter on my board (there will soon be three actually) but that may not be something you want or need.

Give us the usual info: type of music you play, sounds you are looking for etc.

Honestly, I'm extremely open minded when it comes to effects i love to try everything, I've done my research on what i should and wouldn't like as far as effects go, still, any suggestions would be great.

i play in a three piece instrumental band Link Removed you could get an idea there, i really need to take up as much room as possible, thats why I'm heavy on delays, i know theres a few more surprise pedals out there for me!

Reissues, yeah... but it's the original Mu-Tron pedals that are sought after.

If you're interested in its modern descendant, check out the Q-Tron+. Also, a few Mu-Tron-based pedals have been discussed in the past before... take your time and do a little research. You'll be surprised at how diverse your options are in the realm of cool, funky filters. ;)

Also, how about fuzz? I noticed your board doesn't have any, and I think a three-piece band has the sonic space for a good fuzz pedal. ;)

The current BMS is great, too. I haven't had the pleasure of using the original models, but I always have a hard time believing that old EHX pedals are truly "better" sounding than newer ones (outside of the numerous variables in sound on old Big Muffs).

Comp first. I'de put the ring mod early in the chain so it can get a clean signal. Any overdrives, distortion, or muff/fuzz at the end. I am not a big fan of modulation post distortion. Another fun sound is parallel effect chains. Like put the OD parallel to the ring mod. You would need a line selector like the one boss makes or you could get a custom one from analogman.
