The ultimate Dream Pedalboard!

Reasonable price?? Max 400$ USD (shipping cost included) for an original used Lovetone Meatball in full working condition.
I've considered to get a clone but the Barge and the MeatWad are too expensive to be a clone; so I've eventually oriented myself to the 3Leaf Audio Groove Regulator...
In no particular order:
Fender PT-100 Pedal Tuner
MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe
Electro Harmonix Bass Micro Synthesizer
MXR M120 Auto Q Envelope Filter
MXR M-107 Phase 100
Jim Dunlop 105Q Crybaby Bass Wah
Jim Dunlop Talk Box Pedal
MXR M132 Super Comp Compressor pedal
MXR 10 Band Graphic EQ
MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay
Boss RC-20 XL Loop Station
MXR M80 Bass DI Pedal
Just worked it out on the calculator and it comes to about £1500

If you really want the full featured meatball, the Barge may be expensive but its supposedly an improvement to the Meatball and it's the only clone out with all the controls of the original, plus a couple extra's like a 3rd frequency detent-- also upgraded components for lower noise, higher headroom, EG with more range, etc; and from the few reports Ive heard from those who have used both the original and the Grinder, have said they preferred the Grinder as well.
$400 just won't happen for an original..
I just picked up a 3leaf as well. Great filter, sounds a little different than the Grinder though very similar. The smaller size is a big plus, but I don't think I'll be able to sacrifice the extra controls for smaller size. I've only had it a few days, but so far I think the Grinder sounds and works a little better for my application as well. Great filter nonetheless
In the end, after an hard quest, 2 weeks ago I've found a used mint conditions (9,9/10) Lovetone Meatball (original box, manual and Lovetone factory postcard included) at 440$ USD.
My dream pedalboard is now complete!
Ooh, lately I been searching around and looking at vids and reviews and generally researching pedals and here's my dreamer.
Earthbound Supercollider fuzz
HBE Psilocybe phaser
EHX Memory boy or toy(maybe, dont see much use for delay)
Mojo Hand 442 Red filter
Catalinbread Pollyanna Octaver
EBS Compressor
Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive OD
A DI of some sort, probly sansamp, lol
Tuner
Maybe I could get some feedback as to how good these pedals would play together as I have none at the moment, but im gonna start with the supercollider soon.

Its nice to see everyone has different preferences! I like reading abotu what other people like...
Anyway...
Mines simple, i'll have one of everything ever made by EHX, with a few boss pedals like the GEB-7, OC-2, DD-3 etc, a Dunlop bass wah, a Morley Dual wah, Korg Pitchblack, Phase 90, Bass Blowtorch, and a VT Bass =]

I feel like your original signal would come crawling out of the EH Small Stone Phaser not knowing where to go after all those twists and turns
I spent a couple monthes lurking in the effects forum a couple of weeks at Bassfuzz.com and talking to various music shop employees and settled on my dream pedal board(so far, I've been playing 25 years without but learning to play with effects has been awesome). I have a Furman SPB-8 board, an MXR Brick power supply, a Crybaby 105q wah, an MXR BOD, an EHX Micropog, a Planet waves tuner, a Wounded Paw Battering Ram, an EHX Qballs enigma, an EHX DSMMw/H and a Demeter Optocompulator all this purchased in a 3 month period of time. The only thing missing possibly is an EHX Bass Microsynth.
