What's the absolute smallest setup I can get with high quality sound
and these features for playing live? I don't need an amp.

Vocal Chain: Mic Preamp w/ phantom mono, then limiter, compressor,
reverb, delay in stereo. Technically I only need delay on one channel.
The DBX provocal looks nice though it's interface is lousy and I
still need a mixer.

Guitar Chain: Instrument amp like Para DI, compressor, aural exciter.
Aural Exciters seem to be independent and not added into other
processors from what I see.

Thanks

Playing what kind of music live, and playing it where? Venue size?

Why do you think you need all that just to sing live?

What kind of guitar? What kind of music? Why an "aural exciter"? Doesn't
the music have some excitement to it?

I am playing songs like Magaritaville in tiny clubs. I really like a
touch of reverb and delay on my vocals and a compressor/limiter keeps
me in the pocket and keeps peaks under control

This is for a Martin acoustic Guitar that has Pick up the world
pickups. I already play it through a Para Di. The aural exciter
makes the highs sound really nice. I currently play through an old
Aphex aural exciter. Thanks for any ideas.

But you don't need an amp? Nor a mixer? You want to plug your own rig
into the house system?

I will need a mixer, but no amp cuz my PA has an amp. Ideally the
mixer would have all this stuff in it.

Gawd, I'm getting tired of people not giving all the information
(apoligies if I missed it in an earlier message, but the answers
indicate that it's missing).

What's your "PA?" Most PA equipment has a mixer. I can't figure out
what you're missing, or what you want,

size is the critical parameter. It needs to be as small as possible
for convenience.

Rane or Rolls single-rackspace line mixer
Mic of your choice
Mic cable, mic stand
Vocal processor of your choice
Baggs PADI
RNC
(I'd not bother with aural excitation, really; maybe BBE makes a unit
that's a DI + Sonic Maxmizer. But these things suck in general and I
can't imagine why you'd want to do that to a perfectly good signal from
a guitar.)
Patch cable(s)
Mackie SRM350, or two if you need them
Mic (XLRFXLRM) cable(s)
Ultimate Support TS90 speaker stand(s)

You might like to look at a TC Helicon Voice live for your voice
processing. You can change vocal effect patches with your foot, and
even add autotuned background vocals. g

That and a Pendulum Acoustic Guitar Micpre, both line in to say,
even a Mackie 1402 ( has decent sized faders ) and it should lend to a
fairly passable presentation, sound-wise.
