not to start a love helix / hate helix debate. But it sounds good and no 'ripping velcro' noise to be heard.
As regards the pedalboard, is there anything specific that you don't like about it, or just a nagging doubt it could be better? I don't know your full setup, but from what I remember, you have a Timeline and Big Sky, and I'd sell some relatives for medical experiments to get hold of those! It would be interesting to know what your setup is compared to the sounds you're hoping to achieve.
The thrill of the chase is exciting, I understand that. However, I think the rewards of getting stuck into a piece of gear and *really* understanding what it can do and how to get the best out of it are ultimately greater. I'm a fine one to talk though: I have a stupid amount of pedals and more rack gear than you can shake a stick at, yet I'm still scouring eBay for vintage digital delays. I have resisted the urge to pull the trigger though. So far!
I think that understanding the sounds in your head is key: not only what is used, but how it's used. Right from when I first became interested in guitar, I was just as fascinated by how the different noises were created. It's not always going to be easy getting the sounds you hear on records replicated with a pedalboard, or with multi-fx racks going into amplifiers. It's amazing just how different things sound by, for instance, recording a guitar part, then adding effects through a console or DAW. The signal paths can end up being quite complicated.
I said maybe.....
Then work out which pedals you want.
When number of days = cost of most desired pedal. Buy it. So long as you didn't smoke of course.
Oh and don't buy any other gear. Rewards only work if they are just that. Rewards. Not additions.

My current board has mostly been the same for over 12 months, and I gig every weekend.
do factor in that you might suddenly start eating a lot more
If I could go back I'd have started exercising a lot sooner than I did.

1) only play your complete current rig with a full band
2) practice unplugged or even better acoustic
3) delete your account on here, TGP and Huge Racks
4) spend time outdoors or with loved ones
5) unsubscribe from That Pedal Show and any other guitar shows.
6) spend more time practicing and less time strumming an open A chord whilst endlessly cycling through presets/turning knobs
7) make actual music.
8) go to live gigs and without looking try to identify at which point a guitarist engages a non true bypass pedal, reward yourself by putting £10 in a music find jar every gig you succeed.
9) after 12 months spend this find on new gear.
10) enjoy life music and food more.
From memory you have at least 2 strymons and an H9 on your board, I'm pretty sure there is no sound you cannot get 90% nailed.
Im on step 2........ 3 is a stumbling block.
Have you tried (8) and, if so, how much money did you make?
