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?

...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

...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

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

...if you're pedal board is bigger and badder than your lead guitar player, and you've sold him half the pedals on his board! |

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