I think I've got issues.
I've got my board down to 4 core pedals - SP Comp, Trex Moller (OD + Boost), SL Drive and Zoom MS70-CDR. This combination covers a wide variety of tones for the covers band I play in. I usually add in a fuzz/ distortion for extra drive and am going to add a EHX Superego with a Zoom MS50 in the loop to help fill out the sound and occasionally use a looper and a Wah.
However, I have more pedals off my board than on but find it hard to let any go, "just in case" .... I must have 7 fuzzes, about 12 dirt and half a dozen modulation pedals plus a couple of delays and stuff......most of them sat in a drawer 'cos you never know.....
Am I alone?
How do you learn to let them go or is it OK to hoard?

I've got a few pedals floating about.. but they're headed for a board for my eldest who picked up his guitar again yesterday
How many are off my board?
since I stripped the home board down all of them.....
Ringleader of the Cambridge cartel, pedal champ and king of the dirt boxes (down to 21)
MXR Micro Amp (off the board right now)
MXR Phase 90
Boo Instruments TS808 clone (off the board right now)
Ernie Ball Vol. Jnr
Dunlop 535Q wah
Line 6 M9
Seymour Duncan Twin Tube drive pedal (it's shit, never has been on my board)
a broken Boss LS-2 (half fixed, I gave up...!)
*looks around*
Yup. That's it. Gone are the days of huge collections for me!
I don't actually know how many I may or may not have. So that's okay.
But there's a corner of my room, which perhaps if Tolkien's Smaug had played guitar then "The Hobbit" would have been like, set in Dagenham, Essex. There's a corner which is about 2 feet deep in pedals. It's a big corner.
When I think of how little I'd get for most of them, I just can't be bothered. Maybe it'd be different if I had super-boutique pedals, but a S/H joyo is hardly worth selling for the bother of parcelling it up (not to mention if something goes wrong with the sale), and that's before you consider the "What if I regret it?" angle you mentioned in the opening post of the thread...
^ THAT DOESN'T WORK, YOU JUST FILL THE SECOND BOARD AND THEN START OVER AGAIN )
Just a very simple example, with a mid-heavy 1x10 Pro Jr I prefer a Bad Monkey to a Tubescreamer, with a Twin Reverb it's the opposite.
I just installed some Gold foil pickups in one guitar and now I'm digging out little-used fuzz pedals, most of which sound fantastic with them.
Unless I'm desperate for the odd fifty quid I keep them all.
yep, should be able to pick up a few bargains from there.
