Chorus: Wouldn't bother unless you want 80's stylee. Get a Voodoolab Microvibe instead- similar idea but better execution.
Trem: I use a volume pedal and control it manually with my foot.
Vibrato: T-Rex tremster
Octave: I have an Ibanez OT10 - it is fking awesome. I am ALL about the pitch shifting and this box is wonderfully gritty.
Also- Digitech whammy 1 lives on my pedalboard.
Compressor: Monte Allums modded Dynacomp is cool

Noisemakers:

Digitech XP300 Space Station is wonderfully f*cked up.
Boss SYB3 Bass synth is cool but a bit one dimensional.
Frostwave Blueringer Ring modulator is fabulous if you like that sort of thing.

Do you have a volume pedal? I can play without effects but always want to have a volume pedal with me.
I use a Guyatone Slowgear pedal quite a bit too.

I have two laptops in my effects rig that run various plugins- one has MaxMSP running some custom environments. Going 'computer' dramatically increases the complexity of the rig but gives you so many more tonal options.
I use Pluggo quite a lot for guitar tones.
