Effects Addict Club

I buy one at a time, and I only have plans on purchasing one more pedal for the rest of this year (if they are even made). I also sold off my leavins yesterday, every effect I have is on my board now.

But I can't plug in directly to my amp, nor should I want to. It's not a problem. It's the way to be.
 
Since I'm gonna post a picture of my board on the "Post your Pedalboard" thread this week-end (recently added an Echo Park and a Dunlop Wah...), you'll be able to confirm I'm a real addict too...

That makes me number 15, uh? :help:

(But... I'm not a number! :D )
 
Guess I'm number #17 then.

I've got way too many pedals (like > 100 - and that's just the fully functioning ones). I like to tell my wife they are for "education purposes" (I teach a class on the technical side of music), but the truth is I just love them.

Got 4 pedals yesterday. I need to go a moratorium though because I'm out of spending money. I should spend some time fixing the drawer full of dead pedals I have (or finish building a few I have in various states of completion).
 
I like effects for playing on my own and messing around but I just dont see how they work well in a band. The dont seem to add much for me or seem to fade into the mix. I like some overdrive but you guys can have the rest of the effects.

Great! Whatever you can't use, send to me. I run a home for wayward effects. :hyper:

Seriously...There are plenty of effects that I can't use with my band (comp, OD, and fuzz is all that I need for our music). However, I have a growing collection of pedals for my own entertainment and non-band recordings.
