Anyone here have a nice minimal setup they prefer to use? Currently I'm working with a Behringer Wasp, SP 404 MKII and my vocal mic. Looking to swap the wasp out with something more...dynamic in it's place. What are the more barebones setups you guys have?

I've been working with an experimental sampler, the Torso S4. At home it's part of a larger setup, but live I can probably get away with using just that, and a Quilter pre-amp/DI thingy for added gain/dirt which the S4 is lacking. The preamp also has an FX loop for a pedal or two if needed. And the sampler has two independent inputs for contact mics, tape players etc.

Assuming that you are also implicitly including a mixer in your setup, incorporating a feedback loop is a great way to "double" things up with minimal additions (though a pedal chain running feedback helps a lot).
