Gear obsession very rapidly recedes into the distance when you are having a blast focusing on making music with others.
Even if you live on a remote Scottish isle the chances are there's at least one folky, beardy type living on a rocky outcrop with an acoustic somewhere out there..?!
Other than that watch Get Back on Disney+ or Blue Ray and watch 4 blokes mess around with minimal gear having fun and writing songs I'm still performing live 50 years later.
Paul McCartney didn't even know what the knobs on his Rickenbacker bass did?!?
Perfect is the enemy of good

Ahhhh, but these pedals you talk about; which one is the best? Should I use or avoid true bypass? Are my digital pedals all crap and should I replace them with expensive, re-worked analogue ones? Does hand wired have the mojo that - so I'm told - PCB doesn't? etc etc

Football is rubbish.
I get where you're coming from - sometimes the fun is in the chase but the chase can get tiring.
I'm lucky to have found the sounds in my head (but if you had told me how much it would cost when I starter looking for it I might have taken up the harmonica instead (and my gear isn't THAT expensive compared to some!)).
Also suspect it's partly the time of year... Hibernation instinct, can't be arsed, SAD - whatever you want to call it.
If it works for you it works - who cares if it’s ‘overkill’ or whatever. Whatever serves you.

It may also need lower-output pickups, or better pots, especially if they’re stock Gibson ones.
And at the end of the day you may just not suit a Les Paul - not everyone does - you *don’t* need to ‘cover all the bases’, and a Telecaster may be the Les Paul for you…
It’s better to carefully refine what you already have than rip it up and start from somewhere else, as long as you know you’re in the right ballpark to start with. It’s possible you aren’t, but not that likely if you know you like the Laney sound.
