Hah! I thought I was bad! This is your stuff? You got about 2x what
I have! Lots of Boss I see, same as me! BTW for the ultimate in tone
glory (only if you've got a real tube amp), check out the Keeley Java
treble booster.

LOL. Not pictured is 3 guitars, 3 keyboards, and a nice native american 5
hole flute that I wish I knew how to play :P

It's been collecting dust because I was busy with school. I have 6 months
before I enter grad school, so thought I'd see what I had. Don't remember
where I got it all from....

Ok, the above link is good. I'm in the process of regenerating all of my
thumbnails and stuff, so if the above link doesn't work, use this one:

Sorry for confustion - I was feeling ambitious tonight so thought I'd clean
up some of my web sites...where does all of that junk come from, anyhow? My
htdocs directory for my main website is 5.6GB.

Maybe too many normal pedals. Go fewer and better and weirder.

Of course I sell the things.

From time to time I come to similar conclusions about my own gear and realize
I've got a bunch of mediocre guitars and should really have fewer but greater,
or the same thing with amps and pedals.

Re: Too many pedals?

My effects seem to be constantly changing. It seems like a week
doesn't go by when I don't trade something for something else that
came in to work. Over the past few weeks I've scored a Boss PH-3, Big
Muff Pi and an Ibanez Weeping Demon, and gotten rid of a DOD Classic
Tube, Ibanez ToneLok Phaser, DOD Milk Box Compressor and a Danelectro
Octave Fuzz. I'm now trying to decide whether to trade in my George
Dennis OD-Wah or keep both...

Damn, I don't know whether to love this hobby or curse it...

How did you like the Danelectro Octave Fuzz? I had a DOD Octave box, but
didn't like it - it was temperamental and more trouble then it was worth.

Re: Too many pedals?

To be honest, I've never been a big fan of octave boxes... I decided
to check this one out because it was cheap. Sounded OK, but not really
my thing.

If you mean that you had trouble playing chords through the box, all
of the analog octave pedals are like that; at least, all of the ones
I've ever tried which includes Boss, MXR and Foxrox. If you want to
play chords with an octave effect that doesn't warble and jump around,
you really need to get into digital.

I got my Foxrox Octron 2 a few weeks ago and I like it a lot. While
you can't play chords through it, it's very cool for single note lines
and solos as long as you avoid double stops.

- I don't know that you can ever really have ENOUGH. I had a ton of pedals
but thinned the herd to buy a new amp. Now I'll have to start all over :-]

I was out of work for a while, so I had to sell a bunch of stuff to survive.
Then I started over and this is where I ended up. I miss my Vintage Rat,
though...The Rat 2 is very nice and very similar, but not quite the same.

There's no such thing as too many pedals, but that may be too many
DOD's. And one Gorilla amp is too many in my book.

No, I'm just kidding. I used DOD, Ibanez Soundtanks and Arion pedals
for years. I still have a couple of Danelectro Fab pedals in a drawer.
Sometimes the less expensive stuff sounds good.

I am interested in that old orange comp in the lower right corner...

So I looked over at my shelf, and there are about a dozen pedals
there... not counting the pedalboard out in front of my amp, which has
7 more... not counting my main gigging pedalboard which has another 9,
plus a couple of wah pedals that are in transit, and some tuners, and
a multi-fx pedal. What is that, about 30?

Hmmm... I'm gonna say no, not too many pedals by my account. But I
freely admit that I may have a problem.
