How many Distortion and/or OD pedals do you have?

[BillW]

Own? Many...

(Less than a dozen.)

Use? I really don't use any of them live except for 1 when I use my 'small rig' - (Basically a tweed Fender PJ 4). That 1 would be a Wampler Tumnus (the small one)

About 15 years ago, I had a bunch. Then I came to the sad realization most of them were tube screamer variants. 
Now I just have an 88 model Rat, Waza SD1 & a Timmy.   I’m holding on to my old early small enclosure Catalinbread Pico & Serrano boosts in case JHS accidentally not on purpose drives up the market price on them.

My son has adopted my Tumnus, Mojo-Mojo and Dark Matter pedals. I use a Boss GT-1000CORE in front of my Quilter Aviator Mach 3 amp - that's it. Most of my GT presets have some light compression, and a few have a dirt-box model or two set for low-to-medium gain (I don't use the amp/cabinet sims). Mostly I play pretty clean.

Thanks to @JGale I am now +1 in the fuzz pedal department.  

This gift arrived in the mail a couple of days ago, and I have been making nice buzzy guitar tones with it.

In the pedalboard: EH Soul Food, Lawrence Petross Sixty8 Drive.

Floating around my house: ZVex Box of Rock, Boss Power Stack, ProCo Rat

What I'd like to try: A good germanium treble booster, Xotic BB Preamp

Just a Boss DS1 and it sits mostly. When used I keep the drive very low. I like a bit of power tube distortion mixed into the amps's gain. Not being one to use a lot of gain, My Dark Terror provides about all I need, including the power tube distortion and still keep it at a reasonable house-friendly volume.

Recently, Jim Gale fixed my compressor search permanently in a similar manner.  He's a little bit of alright.

To many, I’ll have a sale soon. They are all great, but I have a few that just work for me. 

2 Original Timmys (Non better, but the MXR is readily available and you can match it identical with a V2 Timmy)

1 MXR TImmy (Save your money and buy this over the V2 unless you just want a V2 Timmy) Remember pots are reversed to the V2 Timmy

1 Vintage TS9 ( Really sounds killer, not a lot of gain, just a lot of tone)

2 Vanilla Zendrives (Most open Zendrive )

1 Prince of Tone (feel its a fantastic pedal, unique, flexible) 

1 MXR Duke of tone ( I prefer it over the POT and it’s more available.) 

1 Reverend Drivetrain ( Don’t like Tube Screamers? You may love this one)

1 Visual Sound Drivetrain (Same as the Reverend, but cheaper)

1 Visual Sound Chainsaw (Super Highly Recommended)

1 Lovepedal COT Handwired

2 Seymour Duncan Pickup Boosters (Version 1 Handwired) $40 you should buy one! 

6 Saucy Boxes (Two Regular, Two Hard Clipping, One Limited Ed Pink, One Limited Ed All Black)

Looking for a Box of Rock by ZVex, moving a few of the above soon.

I have a bunch and I really don’t use many….I do like a good treble booster and a good fuzz, though. I do like having several different drives around for recording when I want a different , well, effect or flavor. Dirt is like a tonal palette….but I have sold a bunch in the last year. I could honestly get by with a TB, a Fuzz Face, and a Timmy.

[murkat]

my TS-9 I bought new in 82' and a homemade PI rams head that sounds glorious for $50.

That's it. and they sit on a shelf.
