Combine any two pedals on my board and I'm already at the limit
Frazz>Rotovibe>Elements>Disaster Transport>Behemoth II>Metal Monster>RC-30
...and that's with me leaving off the Bone Collector and eventual BitQuest.

Ok. Fine.
I think I could get away with an NYC Muff, Distortion+, an CH-1 and a DD-3. That's ~250 used (assuming pretty awesome breaux-deals), I think.
Since it's a touring board, I'd probably try to find the closest Boss pedal I could to the NYC muff, though.

Yeah...
If we're going used prices I'd have: Crybaby -> Any reverb, I guess a behringer or holy grail or something -> Upper -> Algal Bloom. I think that's really the core stuff I'd be happiest with right now.

For years and years I played with this pedalboard:
OC-2 - Phase 90 (modded) - Visual Volume - Big D - Deluxe Memory Man
I could play a gig with this:
OC-2 - Phase 90 (modded) - Boss volume pedal - Hustle Drive - DD-5 or DD-7 with external tap switch

Does buying parts count?
Cause then its like 35-45 per pedal.
And wood is free if you don't like your dining room set.

I was trying to think of something a little more out there but those are prob a good swap.
I think I could do
Danelectro French Toast, Vibrothang or dod phaser, Boss bass od/distortion of some sort or Joyo extreme metal, Ibanez delay of sorts

I realized we've all missed the obvious answer: 10 Zoom 505 pedals.
*THINK* of the possibilities.
You could throw them at roadies.
Use them as drink coasters.
And revel in barely-adjustable garbage.
Ten times over.

Lets see.....Cheapest I could do would be Rouge Overdrive>Big Muff Pi>Idiot Box Death Ray. I could also cheat and include the Hyperuin since its a clone built by some guy so I have no way of finding out its street price.

(prices are roughly what I paid used for all of these, except Behr delay which I've never bought)
For my covers board, I'd ditch my elements, wah and comp, and I'll need to replace my Mobius with just one mod.
Boss LS-2 - $40
Digitech XP-100 - $90
Behringer BSY-600 - $30
Dano French Toast for my Tone Machine clone - $25
Behringer DD-400 replaces my Boss DD-20 - $30
DOD FX72 - $35
= $250
For my Seismic Feedback board, I have to go more minimalist because I need expensive shit
EHX BMS - I need the filter and octaves, and I can just use it for fuzz, too. It's usually about $200. I'm gonna cheat a bit and say I got a bro deal at $175.
Digitech EX-7 - $75 - covers the Space Station and all the mod.
= $250 I could probably do a decent version of 3/4s of our songs with just these two

So, do we pretend that the board and powersupply are free?
