How many fx pedals do you use?

Just wondering really. I know some of you have multiple boards, so go with whichever you use most commonly.

If you use more than ten, I'd like to know how many.

I use about ten or so, 11 if you count the zvex box or rock that's not plugged in on my board. They are:
Cry-baby wah
G-lab wah pad
Ts9 tubescreamer
Super hard on
Tim pedal
Cusack tap a whirl
Line 6 dl-4
Boss tu-2
Ernie ball junior volume
Line 6 echo pro.
Also have an orange footswitch, but didn't count it.

I used to use a lot more than I do now...at it's peak my pedalboard looked like this, which I guess is 11 actual pedals plus TB loop and amp footswitch:

Nowadays, if using my Bassman I am down to 6, plus FRV-1 Reverb:

If using my RV50, then at the moment only the amp footswitch

Just realized I should have an option for zero, and apparently that reset the pole...

I have 5 and my footswitch on the board, but I've been getting hum issues so I'm down to 3 pedals right now until I figure out what to do about the situation.

Korg Pitchblack +
Fulltone OCD
MXR Carbon Copy
EHX Holy Grail + (off temporarily)
EHX Bass Big Muff (off temporarily)
Orange Footswitch

off the board:
Dunlop Hendrix Wah
Boss DS-1

Havent got a pic at hand, but here's my list....
Korg PitchBlack tuner.
Fulltone '69 germanium fuzz.
Dunlop Jimi Hendrix wah.
SweetSound Mojo Vibe.
MXR Phase 90.
Ibanez TS9 reissue.
Fulltone OCD v1.4.
Hardwire Chorus.
MXR Carbon Copy analog delay.
Boss FRV1 '63 reverb.

Powered by a VooDooLab Pedal power 2+.

But that's actually 9 effects in a row.
Wouldn't sell any of them.

Grtz, Bert.

Do tuners and ABY's count. If not then zero.

I think if it's not an fx pedal it doesn't count. ie. tuners, aby, and channel switchers don't count.

Neiloler · Post by **Neiloler** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 8:37 pm

I'd say even ABY pedals would affect the tone, depending on what kind of technologiez are involved in the pedal.

I use tons o stuff. Don't always have it on for every song, but I use a smattering of whatever on whatever. 10+ at any given show.

I generally only use two pedals, My Vox Satchurator, and my chorus, I am thinking about adding my modded tubescreamer to the mix, as I have been mainly using just the vox, as it has two channels built into it, the drive and the more, and when you just use the more it is like a tubescreamer effect, just pushes the signal a little harder.

Here's what's on my pedalboard:

Dunlop bass wah

Little Board:

Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner
Morley Bad Horise Wah
SHO Mosfet Clone
Orange Dual Footswitch

Big Board:

Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner
Morley Bad Horsie Wah
Lovepedal Eternity Kanji
SHO Mosfet Clone
Keeley Modded DD-3
Hermida Audio Reverb
Boss LS-2 Line Select

However since all that except for the Wah got stolen, I suspect the lineup will change a little.
