Lightbulb This is what I want; is it feasible?

Okay, I've got OD/Dist. and Wah taken care of, but what I want is a bit more complicated.

I want a noise gate/hum eliminator/compressor/sustainer/(6 or 10 band) EQ all in one analogue box, no stomp necessary. I could chain all these, but I don't want a million pedals under my feet.

I'm sure it's possible, but is it feasible?

I want the noise gate (think Boss NS-2) for extra staccato on the attack, and a signal cut for the decay. Actually my old DOD multi was a terrible pedal, but had a perfect noise gate, but I don't want digital.

Hum eliminator (think EHX Hum Debugger) really as a back up/redundancy to the noise gate just to make sure all unwanted noise is terminated.

Compressor/Sustainer (think Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone) for transparency, clarity, and extra ring on the attack. I could deal without the compressor, but it really does add to a clean tone. I want the sustain booster to boost the attack so leads can still scorch through with the noise gate on.

And multi-band EQ at the terminal end of the chain just to control balance and really fine tune the tone mix. The more I think about it, that one may just necessarily have to be a separate box chained just before the amp, but it would be a nice addition.

I think this could be the ultimate tone shaping pedal/box, placed as the final link before amplification, and I wouldn't even mind if it were the size of a rack mount piece (but, you know, not digital...) because I wouldn't need it on the floor anyway, just an always-on box.

So please, if any of you who know something about electrical and sound engineering have any ideas how this could be achieved, please chime in.

Thanks for your time, patience, and understanding.

I came across Jam Pedals while looking for a Big Muff clone once, and their multi-pedal custom shop could be of use, budget dependent! I think a lot of independent pedal manufacturers would be more than happy to help though.

Thanks for the tip, I will surely check them out. I know of a local guy that can help me build it, or at least shed some insight, but his specialty is amps, so I may have to go to a real pro, like these guys.
