It sounded great in stereo. I did some tweaking at rehearsal (besides dialing it in). There are still a few things I want to tweak, but I got it to cover 90% of what it did before, just with analog pedals instead of digitally. The compression and boost was way better. The Rat came out pretty similar to how I dial the amps in already, just a little fatter and with a different upper mid and treble response. The lead boost was more fluid. The phaser was more luscious, and I liked the digital phaser sounds. I can't wait for the new Anniversary Big Stones Analog Phaser from Griffin that will take that spot when I get it.
Then there's the Beez Nutz. I hadn't tried it on guitar until now (I know, I'm ashamed to say). I used it completely different to how I use it on bass, but I dialed in a usable setting and I love it. I put it on two of the patches, keeping in mind I can turn it off if I use the patch for something else. I jammed on it for the warmup free jam, and really liked how I set it up on a patch with a notched eq on it (like a cocked wah). I like it with a chorus on it (always have, even on bass) and debated using it on a old song. I decided to stay original, but really want to use that sound on something, so it's already inspirational.
I'm happy I did this, even if I did double the weight of my pedalboard. It sounds great. Let's see how I feel about it after a few gigs this summer.

@BeZo that looks very well thunk out and built. Good job.
I use a FX8 in a hybrid setting, too. I use germanium fuzz and treble booster (Analogman NKT low gain white dot and Analogman CV7003 Beano) because FX8 can’t touch them. I usually also have a Chicago Iron Parachute wah in there as it is a very different animal than Crybaby type wahs and it is all over one of our albums that we still perform from. The FX8 switches my Elmwood Modena 90 which I run in W/D/W with a Komet Ambikab. For smaller shows, FX8 switches my Mesa V:35 which I run in 4 CM. I use a snake for the cabling.
Occasionally, I will drop an Effectrode la1a limiting amplifier in there. Also a Morley Echo-Vibe-Chorus for Meat Puppetisms. Nothing like that in the FX8.
Yep. Big Fun.

Looks great. How are you digging that Mimiq?

It's been essential. I keep it up front because I will turn it off for intros or solos for a big mono feel, and then kick it on when the band comes in for a wider wall of sound. I run a stack on each side of the drummer and it's huge. Having the Mimiq and the Pitchfork on one side helps me overcome being the only guitarist in the band.
Right now, I'm waiting on an order from Wayne to finish it off. A few of those pedals are just placeholders until I get the new ones. I can't wait for my new phaser.
