my entire setup right now is a boss ds-1 and a behringer vd400
what i do is plug the main input and output of the vd400 into each other
and for the direct output i send that to the boss ds-1 and then the ouput of that goes into the amp
anything else i should add?

Depends what sort of music you want to make.
Do something different, buy a harmonica and jam with that over the top.

What is your budget? What are you hoping to accomplish?
Can you solder? circuit bending cheap pedals is a good way to get additional mileage out of them without spending a lot of money. LDR's and expression/CV inputs open up a lot of sound-mangling possibilities.
Effects-wise, tremolos, phasers and EQ's are useful.

I like some sort of mixing in my path, but YMMV.

You need then Behringer FX600 if you don't have a lot of money, and yes, u need one more distortion - DOD Death Metal + ARTEC Parametric EQ or BOSS Metal Zone MT2 with not bad EQ. Also u need noise source, generator or instrument.
Also we need information, what kind of noise do you like to do, give some tracks or artists. And then we can help you chose something for you.

thank you
i like noise with a variety of sounds and i think it would be cool to have something that kind of self evolves if that makes sense
like generative music but not completely
i recently listened to this
i think that is the kind of noise i want to make i hope this is helpful

I make a lot of generative music. For generative harsh noise I use the Montreal Assembly Fax Machine all the time. There's also the Aqua setting in the Korg AX1G which does something similar, but not as cool. Put either (Or both) of them into a feedback loop, it gets really wild really fast.
Unfortunately, you'll be looking to either learn to work with a DAW, or upping your budget and learn to have patience and save up your pennies. There's gear out there that'll do what you want, but they won't be particularly cheap. There's always the DIY route, because there's a lot of schematics out there for weird ass stuff.
