Guitar Pedals

Riffed and soloed a bit with my flanger tonight... I feel I should build another, smaller pedalboard to fit it permanently. My board is great, but the 11 pedals on it are put together in a way which is fairly limited in amount of available sounds - by design, to be user-friendly. I have my clean and my dirty tone, can add the synth and the wah... But practically don't use many effects screaming "EFFECTS ON!" - they're just shaping the tone together nicely in the background.

With the flanger, I want to play it so it's really noticeable.
 
Just got a Boss PS-6 Harmonist. It does a lot of things - octaves, harmonies etc. - but for me it was all about the Digitech Whammy-esque "S-Bend" feature. In a many times smaller and sturdier Boss-format. And I love it! (If you want the whole Whammy-experience, you need a separate expression-pedal, but this pedal is amazing on its own.)

Might replace the Dunlop Crybaby GCB95 on my pedalboard - not permanently, but for a while. Meanwhile, I need to figure out how I ran out of room so quickly on the massive Pedaltrain Classic 2... 61 x 31,7 cm! And I have no room to fit this pedal!
 
There’s an Orange PPC212 open-back cab for sale for 450€. I’d like to swap my 1x12 out for a 2x12 but I’m debating whether open-back is the way to go. Everybody says how closed back is better for tight rock and metal riffs but open-back delivers nice chimy cleans better. What do you guys think?

Well, you already know the general differences in theory. Personally, I think once you know your stuff enough and what you want to hear, general guidelines aren't as valuable anymore. Any option to try and experiece the differences?
