How many pedals do you have?

[Skybone]

1.

A Multi-effects pedal.

Does that count?

 

[Jrussblues]

Just a tuner

So only one pedal that actually affects the sound, and the tuner is the only one I really need - though even with the tuner I don't need it in pedal format. If my amp had a variable HPF I probably wouldn't have bothered building a pedalboard at all, I'd just use a headstock clip tuner and leave it at that.

(Since this is Talk Bass I'm not counting anything on my guitar pedalboard.)

The big board is under construction. The small one has 6 pedals:

Tuner -> Octave -> OD/Dist-> Fuzz -> Envelope Filter -> Limiter.

This is like asking a trumpet player "how many mouthpieces do you own". I know some people with drawers full.

 

[Kro]

I'll say one - my SansAmp, though truth be told I have a tuner pedal somewhere around here that hasn't seen action in forever. I don't count that.

Tuner
L+HPF
Comp
DI

So, 6 I guess...

How am I supposed to know how many pedals I have? I have a large plastic box filled with them and then others laying around. I have some in drawers and all over the place. My oldest is a MXR Distortion+. It's from the very early 80's.

1 - looper for A/B switching (efx in or out)
2 - EH bass mono synth
3 - chorus
4 - reverb
5 - ampeg preamp

I've owned a lot more in the past, sold a lot off the last year or so. But I still have quite a bit. I'm def in the "I'm addicted" category. Love pedals.

ALL of my pedals? I’d estimate 75 or so. But this also encompasses 6 different boards for both guitar and bass, as well as 10 or so that I’m it currently using. It also covers the numerous duplicates I have (2 of my boards are identical guitar boards for fun) and my collection of DOD. I’ll admit, I have a problem...

 

[Siggy]

It would be interesting to have None in the survey.

 

[mellowgerman]

There's no "0" option in the poll... Only thing besides my bass and my amp, is my Alembic SF-2 rack-mount unit and my snark tuner.

With my previous band I used a DI that had compressor and EQ built in and I ran that straight to FOH - no stomp pedals. With my new band, I need a little dirt, so I assembled a chain form my box of misfit pedals:

I have 6 in my current chain (tuner-> MXR compressor <always on> -> MXR Envelope - > POG Octave-> MXR Chorus -> EHX Analogizer). I don't stomp mid song, just use them with my tone knob to adjust my sound on a song to song basis. Still, I'm always playing with which pedal/combination I like best with each song (never all at one time).

I have a few others still on the bench (EBS Octave, Boss Flanger, MXR 10 band EQ, Ditto Looper and Morely Volume/Wah. I feel like there are one or two more - jut coming to me at the moment.

I like it simpler, but when I need to change up my sound, the pedals are there.

I do something different with my pedal board … I run parallel effects instead of serial …
