So Just How Many Pedals Do You Own?

[Bogner]

I Am Sensing A Couple Of Brand Specific Boards In The Future Once I Have Gone Through Everything And Gotten Rid Of What I Am Letting Go Of. Then Again, I Don't Want To Replace One Problem For Another One.

I've become obsessed with Wren and Cuff fuzz. Since November, I've ordered four. It's not a problem.

I just got the Thorpy Tacit Blue and it's become my new obsession.

What kind do you have? I got the Tri Pie '70. Not a fuzz guy (yet) but had to do the holiday mystery box and that's what arrived.

My first pedal was a Big Muff. I paid $19 for it brand new.

It was so much cheaper to get Muff back then.

Old thread just popped up for me.
3 boards for my 3 amps
3 - Multi Effects units ( 2 - TC Electronic Nova system , One Line 6 HXFX )
14 - in use pedals
5-6 pedals in repair or not being used at the moment

 

[Gtrbldr]

About 3. Including an Helix LT and footswitch for my amp. Only one "real" pedal: a Crazy Tube Circuits "space charged"

Absolutely My Friend!

I Am Married To The Greatest Person I Have Ever Known...An Absolute Diamond Of A Woman In Every Way. Not One Time In My Life Have I Ever Had A Question Or Concern About Her Of Any Kind Or In Any Way. She Is Solid As A Rock And Always Does The Right Thing. She Is Full Of Dignity, Class, Love, Grace, Honor, Character And Integrity. She Is Nothing But Good In Every Way. There Aren't Many People Like That. In All Of My Life's Dealings I Personally Have Only Found One And It Is Her. The Saying Goes That Behind Every Great Man Is An Even Greater Woman. I Am Far From A Great Man But She Sure Is An Incredible Woman And I Make No Apologies For Bragging On Her And Telling The World Just How Wonderful She Is!

Very impressive, and props to you for acknowledging it. You’re a lucky man.
I own about 12 pedals, but 5 of them are doubles. (when I really like something, I like to have a backup)

So The Quick Question To This Story And To You Is "Just How Many Pedals Do You Have?"

The real questions are, when did this purge start, and why didn’t I receive my “forum brother special price list” before you started selling them?

And, how did you post this thread without ever giving a number?

 

[GeorgioSC]

Just the right amount on my board, and too many in storage bins. I’ve purged many and have enough left no over that I no longer have pedal GAS, ever. If I want to change up the board or and another sound, I likely have it in the closet.

Now guitar GAS, that’s tough to cure!

For One I Can't Count That High On The Pedal Count But It Is A Lot Less Now. Next Batch I Move I Will Be More Vocal About It. I Was Just Honoring The No Classified Rules Thingy. I Usually Dislike Rules But I Am Trying To Be Civil.

I Have The Greatest Wife Ever! She Is Absolutely Divine. Me Too On The Duplicate Itens! Sometimes Even Triples But I Am Only Talking Gear, Not Wives...LOL.

Am trying to provide a good accounting of what's built in to my FM9 floorboard. First of all, there are at least 34 different types of effects. One of these types includes a DRIVE block, which consists of about 77 different DRIVE effects. Then consider REVERB. There are about 78 different REVERB effects. Consider DELAY. There are 28 different DELAY effects. I could go on.

What fascinates me is that there are the possibility of one pair of AMP varieties, and 328 different AMPs.

Lastly, the possibility of 2 stereo CABs, or 4 CABs total with 1024 different factory CABs and 128 legacy CABs. Not to mention the possibility of adding 1024 user CABs uploaded to your FM9.

Given that the actual price of each AMP and CAB varies widely and because the actual speaker CAB can vary from 1x8 to 8x10, I decided to let the statistics experts take over regards this, because the sheer number crunch would have boggled my mind. That and the the cost of owning a secure structure that could store all of these individually must be astronomical.

FTR, an FM9 new ballparks about $1700, plus either power amp and unpowered CAB, FRFR, or powered AMP and CAB connected via 4CM. IIRC, FM9 rig cost $2695 plus proprietary FX board, expression pedal, Peterson StroboStomp Mini tuner and numerous cables, a regulated power source. I'd hazard to say about $3350.

That's for the big shamu. My backup amp is a 1x12 30W combo reverb boutique amp; with a mini FX consisting of 1 overdrive and a tuner.

In real life, sometimes it's nice to own a boatload of virtual gear for a fraction of its actual cost. Reality also dictates when a gig will allow you to haul in your dream gear, perform a sound check, and sweat bullets until it's your turn to play. The alternate reality involves bringing in your 30W combo and mini FX board and sitting through newbs and codgers do justice to folk and modern tunes, then when it's your turn, simply switch on your amp, engage the crowd with some small talk while tuning and hope to heck the rhythm house guitarist can accompany you to Barney Kessel's adaptation of St. Thomas.

It was so much cheaper to get Muff back then.

It wasn’t "brand new" either.
