Pedal suggestions / help

Hello everyone! I am very new to using pedals (about 1 year) and have recently built my first pedal board, pictured here. I know I have some unusual pedals for a first board, but the unique sounds my wee-bird reverb (pictured left) and red panda tensor (middle) make are what drew me to buying my first pedals.

With that out the way, I want to ask for suggestions for a 5th pedal to buy. I know that is an impossible question to answer, but with so many pedals out there I’m finding it hard to limit my choices. I feel like I have most of the usual bases covered (reverb, delay, chorus, looping, distortion, etc) and want something that will give me some new avenues of sound to explore for my playing. I also have been feeling pretty dissatisfied with my DS-1 and was thinking about swapping it out for a different distortion or overdrive pedal, but I have no idea which ones to go for.

Overall can you guys suggest: potential distortion/fuzz/overdrive swaps that might also be substantial pedals with other features, or entirely new pedals that you think would cover sounds I am missing in my current rig?

Again, I know this is a very opened ended question, but everyone here seems so cool and knowledgeable and I would appreciate any suggestions or comments about my board in general!

In this image lies the pedal board of guitarist Willie Swift of Main Era (check out their recent album on bandcamp if you don’t know them) - any idea what the two white pedals on the far left are? I feel like I recognize the one with the 8 knobs but don’t know what it’s called. The one his foot is on I have no clue. Any ideas?
