Survey: PLEASE RE-VOTE How many effects pedals do you own?

[hamo]

Be good to see you back in NZ Brian! If you came back, where would you live? We're looking at North Canterbury/ Rangiora.

This news keeps getting better and better!

We're gonna buy a house next to yours bro and devalue the neighborhood with pro Trump signs!

















Just kidding, politicians are all rubbish. I'm posting my allegiance to the benevolent, intergalactic leader Krull. All hail Krull!

I love that movie!

I went down to the crypt…it seems that in the darkness and neglect things have got out of hand. Effects have been breeding. I have over a hundred.

My dearest, sweetheart. If you ever read this, please don’t think ill of me…I don’t think I, or we, have a problem, nor am I sick, or depraved, or unnatural…at least no more than when we first met Please understand this horde (numbers are sooooo abstract, anyway) as an archive, a library of sonic tools, if you will, of electronic devices that singularly, or more often in combination (guitarists call this ‘stacking’), assist in the creation of an emotional perception lexicon of the mind from substantive sensorial loading…a personal interpretation of a dualism thought experiment

I realise that quantity is no substitute for clarity of purpose so I shall constrain the experiment variables in the future in step with the hypothesis of 'less equals more/absence and necessity being the parents of invention' I also realise I’m quite attached to my testicles. xxxooo.

Here's my old effects rig that I used to rock in the early 90s. I know they're not pedals and are largely multi-effects so I haven't counted them in my official 'effects pedals' count up Just thought they might be of some interest, maybe...

I guess the context being that all the big hair dudes in the guitar mags of the day had refrigerator racks full of midi controlled, digital multi effects, mixer units, pre-amp heads, massive stereo power amps and speaker attenuators. Pedals were thought of as noisey, fragile and low-fi shit. I liked 'em for that...just were damned difficult to find the cool ones, so I resorted to buying the off-casts from studios and cats who were off down the rabbit-hole of rack world.

This thread confirms I have too many pedals.

There are some outstanding pedal hordes/hoards in this forum! Well done everyone. Pedal diversity and inclusion is well alive and embraced without prejudice or judgement. Pedal love...and pedal meh and pedal abstinence for that matter, seem to be well tolerated and celebrated...what a bunch of GCs, eh ...and what a beautiful world it could be

I kind of think my collecting days are done, but I won't lie, there are a lot of pedals in this pic that I wish I still had...The Park fuzz and the Jerms MKI would be top of the list.
