Pedal delima

Keep ‘em until you settle on ‘your setup’.

Instead of shelving them or attaching to a board grab a floormat/doormat that the ‘not on a board at the moment pedals’ live on so you can continue to experiment with them.

You may end up in a different Sonic place than you planned. I moved from 2 large boards to 4 smaller setups that can be interconnected. I use my stuff, just not all at once.

Only 10% at most of your pedals are a true support. The rest are tone accents, garnishes, adornments etc. In real time application, you shouldn't have a use for them all on a steady tone diet.

For anybody who is experimenting with tone (clearly you are), your tone preference, as well as bass preferences on a different level are always cyclical. A dynamic moving target. Collecting pedals is legit. Having several unique options available to swap in and out is legit. Having a use for them all on a regular basis? Very little opportunity or need.

Sell if your bored of them and keep refining. That journey ...is... the actual journey. There is no tone destination other than than the current one you are working on/at/towards/goal etc...even if it is pretty close to the previous goal...or even a tone goal from the past. If you are a tone head, it will come around again.

Have fun if you can.

Just looking at this again. So well said... respect.
