Headcount of your dirt pedals - what is an abnormal amount?

LionAquaLooper

I'm a bit of a sucker for dual dirt pedals and went on a bit of a spree recently and without realising it I'd amassed 8 of the bloody things, on top of individual ODs I had already.  So I now have:

8 duals (e.g. EHX Hot Wax, Boss Angry Driver, Dr J Lancelot etc)  
11 individual OD/Dist (e.g. Metal Zone, SD1, BD2, Pure Sky, Bad Monkey etc)
3 Fuzzes

The most expensive one I have is probably the Angry Driver which was £120 used.  I'm not talking Klon, KoT, Gladio, boutique level type pedals here. On average I tend to not spend more than £60 on these things each.  The problem is there are so many pedals out there now that are so cheap that it's so easy to pull the trigger.  And I love all of them in my collection.  Luckily I don't collect mod/delay/verb pedals as well! 

How many do you lot have in your collections?

I make it 8 drives, 5 fuzz. So 13 in all. Plus a couple of boosts (not sure if boosts are included)

Boss SD1
Boss OD3
Arion octave fuzz
Thorpy Peacekeeper 
Thorpy Veteran
Thorpy Tacit Blue
Thorpy Warthog
Echoline Roadrunner 
Crazy Tube Circuits Ziggy
Lovepedal Tiki Drive
Lovepedal Dual Zendrive 
Ian Sherwen (Ghost Pedals) Shatterbox
Greer Black Fuzz Custom

Chase Tone Sectet Preamp
Magnetic Effects Zola

I also went on a search for dual overdives recently,  and I've ended up with a dual Zendrive (very good but still getting used to it) and a Ziggy (very good but can be a bit picky about what amp/pickups you're using). I was tempted by the Boss Angry Driver as well. I'm curious to know what was your favourite of the ones you have?

Nine, I think:

Boss SD-1
Boss DS-1
Boss ST-2
Marshall Guv'nor (original)
Marshall GV-2 (two of 'em)
EHX Green Russian
Mooer Black Secret
Behringer SF300

ScreamingDave

Gosh, I feel a bit inadequate. I just have a Rat II and the Metal Muff section of an EXH Tone Tattoo on my board, and if you super-glued them in the "off" position it's debatable whether I'd ever notice.

5 overdrives, peacekeeper and various cheapies, joyo, caline, mosky . One fuzz, one boost one distortion and a compressor, less than most I would have thought.  

Since getting an attenuator I rarely bother with pedals to be fair though.

Boss SD-1W
Boss BD-2W
Boss DS-1W

Boss FZ-1W
Boss FZ-2

Subdecay Liquid Sunshine II
Fredrik Golden Eagle

Which dual Zendrive did you buy?  I only just recently found out about the Zendrive so to try it I bought the Mosky Tai Ji and I love it.  The Voice and Tone controls make it so versatile, plus the gain has a very wide range.  I didn't know there was a dual Zen drive!

 Which is my favourite?  It's a toss up between the Angry Driver and the Hot Wax.  The Angry Driver is highly rated for a reason.  I've heard people say the Angry Charlie is too thin because it only has 1 tone control but I found out for myself it's not thin at all (for my uses).  With the built in BD2 it's a great pairing.  With a remote switch it opens up more possibilities.  So versatile.  The Hot Wax has less features but is criminally underrated.  The Crayon can go low to mid/high gain but retains clarity which is something I look for in an OD.  The Hot Tubes side can go low gain to fuzz territory.  Great on strats.  Just wish the order of the two sides was changeable though.

6 overdrives, 4 fuzzes.

Too many considering the lack of time I have to play them.

Some rookie numbers here so far...

Janray, Page & EP Booster on the main board. Harlot & Klone on the small board.

And the below, of which dirts are 14 + 2 + 9 + 4 + 3... And another couple for sale not pictured. 

Please buy my things....

"1" seems to be the abnormal number 

pluckbuddy

I really want to have just one or two overdrives but annoyingly my two favourites are fairly similar and I can't bring myself to get rid of either.

The others are more expendable but are nice to mess with every now and then, mainly to remind myself not to buy more of them. 

Favourites
Kingsley Page
Fairfield Barbershop 

Others 
Diamond Drive
Hudson Broadcast
KTR
Fat Rat
Tone City King of Blues
Nobels Odr (the gold one)
Probably one or two others.

I've had several Rats, klones, 2 Buffalo TDXs and another Broadcast before... I just keep buying the same things over and over again...

That’s more than I need really but it’s nice to have some fun toys around. It’s good to change around a bit when things get stale as I only ever have a maximum of 3 dirt pedals on a board at a time.

EDIT: Listed pedals

I got the black version of the dual zendrive,  like this one (picture grabbed off Google):

I'd been using the Lovepedal Tiki Drive for my live board recently,  which is basically a Zendrive with a separate distortion circuit in series.  It's ace, but only one footswitch, so ideally I'd like to be able to switch in and out of both circuits. Which lead me to consider a dual zendrive.  But I couldn't find anywhere that sells them and so I don't think they make them anymore.  Anyway literally the next day one came up for sale here so I went for it! It's really good and has one side slightly higher gain and a switch so you can change the order.

Aside from Zendrive types my favourite ODs have been the Thorpy Peacekeeper, and my old favourite SD1. Favourite Fuzz is easily the Tacit Blue. 

Interesting what you say about the Hot Wax, I'd not actually considered that one but it sounds good. They are fun to try out, but I've probably got more than I need now, as you see.

Presuming your'e talking to me, it's a KOT clone from the Fuzzdog kit. REALLY good pedal but I'm annoyed that I built it with blue LEDs and not red/yellow ones to match the knobs. One day...

I think if dirt pedals are relatively cheap and not too enormous, it’s worth holding onto them even if they’re off your board, so you don’t romanticise the memory of them and end up buying them again.

I am holding onto my unused MXR Timmy and ‘78 Badass Distortion (DS-1) for this reason.

3 dirt pedals on the board - TS Mini, Keeley Super Phat Mod and an Ibanez 850 Fuzz Mini. 

Rowby1

Only have four. A Suhr Riot and Tim Pierce OD on my gigging board and a ODR-1 and Revivaldrive Custom on my recording board.

Wow I'm jealous.  That sounds like my kind of dual pedal - one side higher gain than the other and the order can be reversed.  The fact they're both Zendrives is a big plus. I'd take that over a Gladio any day.

I actually prefer blue (or white LEDs).  I love the KoT but the red and yellow LED combination reminds me of ketchup and mustard combo

Eh, I had to go through and count...

• King of Tone
• Greer Lightspeed
• Audiokitchen Small Trees
• 2 x Dual Hudson Broadcasts
• Walrus Audio Eras
• Walrus Audio Iron Horse v2
• Lazy J Cruiser Deuce
• 2 x Chase Secret Preamps
• Crowther Hotcake
• Vox Distortion/Booster
• Op Amp Big Muff
• AnalogMan Sunface
• AnalogMan Astrotone
• MAS Effects Tiny Fuzz
• SM Fuzz Octave Fuzz
• SM Fuzz NKT275 Fuzz
• AnalogMan modded Boss BD-2 
• MiJ Boss SD-1
• MiJ Boss DS-1
• Ceriatone Centura
• Fjord Fuzz Odin
• Fjord Fuzz Embla
• Dan Drive Austin Pride

So 25... seems excessive tbh. 9 fuzz, 3 distortion, 8 OD, and 5 boosts.
