I know this has been done before, but not for a while.
So here it is, if you had to use a one make pedalboard who's would it be and what would be on it?
I'm going to exclude the power supply, board and tuner so you don't need to worry about those just the FX and I'm also ruling out multifx, it's just stomp boxes.
It's not as easy as it sounds.
I have Wah -> Comp -> OD -> OD -> Dist -> Trem -> Verb -> Delay
Boss - All the pedals are there, but I've never been that inspired by them.
TC - No comp, trem, or wah makes it a deal breaker.
Hardwire - No comp, or wah and I wasn't mad on the dist
Fulltone - No comp, reverb, or delay
Wampler actually have all the pedals, but I've never really felt they were worth the money.
Suhr don't have wah, verb, or delay, however: Koji -> Shiba -> Riot -> Rufus -> Jack Rabbit would be a hell of a board.
MXR Have discontinued their trem and don't have a reverb (and I've never liked their compressors).
Strymon - Don't do drive boxes.
EHX always a bit worried about reliability, but they have all the pedals although many of them I'm not fond of.
Mad Prof - Are I think the unlikely winner - Snow White Wah -> Forrest Green Compressor -> Sweet Honey -> Little Green Wonder -> MIghty Red -> Mellow Yellow -> Deep Blue -> Silver Spring
What would be your pick?
EDIT: Carl Martin also a good pick.

Awesome pedals!
So... Weeping demon - tone lok ts7 - lf7 - cf7 - de7.
That gives me wah, tubescreamer, lo fi distortion (I'd use it for at least one song intro), chorus/flanger and a decent sounding delay.
I might add a ds-7 in there for distortion but I use amp distortion mostly.
Would Dunlop and MXR count as the same maker?
If so
Crybaby - Distortion3 - Micro chorus - Phase 90 - amp
would do for me
