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 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?

As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb

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

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.

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