Fill in the blank.
you know your a pedal head if the first thing you do after waking up is check the talkbass effects/classifieds forums followed immediately craigslist.
also if you have multiple versions of the same effect with the intention of selling one but never get around to it.
how do you know your a pedal head?

you know your a pedalhead...

...if you keep a list of all the effects you're going to buy in the near future

...if start recearhing for new effects soon after you just bought one and wonder what a great effect could go with that one.

...if you don't play all day but turn up your pedalboard, stomp all the effects on just to see the wonderful light that warms your heart. (even more if you turn the lights off)

...when your homepage on your browser is either craigslist or TB-effect

..you're constantly thinking of redesigning your board to maximize pedal use and power supply optimization - looking for the power supply that with supply the most milliamps of power.

That's how my wife thinks of it. Though, I'm sure she likes this better than the alternative.

+1.

...If you have on multiple occasions dropped to the floor mid rehearsal to switch pedals in and out of your rig

...you have offered to run your bandmates boards just to surround yourself with more pedals

...you have sat with a pedal in your backpack, reached in, and slowly turned knobs, just to turn knobs

I've been running a board that has space for two more Boss-sized pedals and it's had that space for nearly a year.

Part of me thinks I'm over my addiction, the other part is still thinking about putting an SFT and a Multi-Comp there.

Bandmates change your nickname to "jus'sec", because you interrupt rehearsal for tweakage so often that you haven't played a song all the way through in months.

Actually happened to a guitar player buddy, after he got a big Valvetronix pedalboard.
