Finished up my new FM9-based rig. Goal was to have the ultimate "do everything....and do it all well" board that could work on a big stage or just plugged into a crappy coffee house PA:

FM9 does most of the heavy lifting. Boss SY-200 is in Out 2. Out3 is the main guitar signal in stereo, and toggled on/off with a Control Switch so that it's not in the main signal path if I'm not looping. The SY-200, Out3 (in stereo) and an optional acoustic (from side Templeboard input) all go into the GigMix 4-1 to merge everything. GigMix and the VE-500 (mic input from side Templeboard input) go the RC-500 for looping, then back to the FM9 at In3. In3 is always on, so that everything I mentioned above can get into the FM9 even if I'm not looping.
In2 is for stereo input of my Roland Workstation, so that I can play along with sequenced tracks and everything goes out the Main Out1 L/R in stereo.
FM9 sends MIDI messages to everything per scene, so I can for example add harmony to vocals when I switch a Scene from Verse to Chorus. RC-500 handles the Tempo duties, keeping the SY-200, VE-500, and Workstation in MIDI sync.
And I have a Line 6 G10s on there for wireless.
Complicated....but the ultimate Swiss Army Knife.
