How much to replace your board?

This will be in yen and, other than the Joyo, I bought used.

Joyo Scylla - 6800 ($45)
Boss OC2 - 10000 ($66)
SA Spectrum - 16000 ($105)
HX Stomp - 56450 ($372)

Total: 89250 ($589.50)

Not bad if I can say so myself :)
The current exchange rate is 151 yen to the US dollar.

Found a picture. I switch the OC2 with the Spectrum sometimes.

It’s ok for a beginner, but you real put need to be spending more money and have a backup board, just in case

This does not include the laptop I use to edit and control everything another $499....

This is my main pedal board, there are several others.....

and don't tell my wife! please.
This is how it all started! My wife asked about a couple of larger purchases from over the last few months. Explained they were music related. Decided to add up my board. Thought, dang, this got out of hand rather fast! Decided I should ask TB to see if I'm too far gone. I really thought I had a small, modest, compact board with just a few pedals. Who knew! Maybe 2K will end being the average coast of a pedalboard?
 
oh, ill play!
I'll just do what they would cost new:
View attachment 7154465
Pedaltrain Metro 24 (w/ hard case): $129.99
Truetone 1 SPOT Pro CS6: $139.99
Korg Pitchblack Advance: $89.99
Keeley Compressor Pro: $299.99
Morley 20/20 Power Fuzz Wah: $189.99
MXR Stereo Chorus: $189.99
Disaster Area MIDI BABY 3: $129.99
Darkglass Microtubes Infinity: $599.99
4 patch cables + the custom midi cable: ~$60

Total new if i bought it all today: $1,829.92

Dang.

Good thing i didnt buy it all at once, and a lot of it was used/pre-owned.
I'm thinking around 2k is average. We shall see.
 
I’m curious how much it would cost you if your board needed to be replaced today. If you add up full retail price of everything on your board, the power supply, and the board itself, what do you have invested? If you have more than one board, what is the cost of each one? I realize some of us have used pedals that we didn’t pay full retail for, but I’m curious what it would cost if you had to go out today and replace everything at full price.
Which one?
