How many pedals do you own?

I don’t really know The Gear Page, but I’m assuming this is a sarcastic “win”?

I had the same thought, but was trying to avoid the impression of any “edge” in saying so. It is kind of a fair question here, though, because it’s a sociological data point to link to people’s comments on pedals.

I did a mental inventory and think I’m around 50 including expression pedals and FS3x’s. If I revived the Excane-all-pedals-pic thread I might need a bigger floor. Yes, it’s excessive, but I would still hold onto almost all.

Part of my reason for creating the thread in the first place was a selfish one; to get an idea of how advanced my GAS is
compared to others. Also, “lots” is a relative term, so i’m interested to see what “lots of pedals” means to different people. I also think it’s interesting to see who is a collector, who uses very few, who’s a tap dancing maniac, etc.

The last time I did a family group shot, was the end of 2012. That photo had 189 pedals.
Almost 7 years later, I have no idea but it's somewhere in the 500-700 range.


I think.

I don't own that many...
....but I could. You're speaking my language.

Do you have a room/rooms for them?

I *think* I feel better now? Better go caress a granular delay to be sure.

@excane so what is your favorite and your worst? Or top few and worst few? What can I say...I am a fan of superlatives...

Pretty much impossible to pick since I have stuff that runs the gamut.
For most the of the boards I've put together for jamming and recording, it's actually pretty straight forward. A few gain pedals, some modulation, maybe a filter or two, and that's pretty much it.

I simplified a lot. I used to bi-amp and tri-amp with different overdrives and distortion when playing live, but those back-breaking days are long over.

Do you have a room/rooms for them?

I have probably a 10' x 10" section in a room that has those banker style boxes and a few plastic bins completely filled and go almost floor to ceiling.

At some point, I want to get some custom shelves/display cases built that wrap around around several walls so I can put them on display.
I do constantly rotate them in and out of my current setup(s) depending on what I'm in the mood to play.

I pared down to 5.

That would look super awesome. I'm at 19 right now, so I just have one big pedal board.

However, my most recent acquisition is a 70's Morley EVO-1 Oil Can delay, and that pedal in itself is the size of a small pedal board! I measure it the other day and it's 18 inches long, 8 inches wide, 6 inches high and looks like it could double as an espresso machine.

Very cool. A friend of mine kept one of those in the studio for a long time and then sold it. I remember it sounding pretty awesome.

This one is in really good condition, and aside from the motor being a bit noisy (which I’m in the process of fixing), it sounds pretty awesome.
Capable of really great sounding Analog oscillation/Feedback. I’ll likely sell it at some point, but it’s a cool piece to have for now!

Maybe you need this to go with it?

Ha, very nice. I never paid enough attention before to realize that the Morley Man’s feet are actually Morley pedals!
