So how much has everyone spent on their pedals?

Heres my list including an estimate for the upcoming delay.

Ts9 plus - 160US = 200CA
Big Muff Pi NYC - 75US = 100CA
Ad9 delay - 200US = 235CA

For my modest collection thats already 435 US. Probbaly close to 500 after duty. These things might be really cool but not cheap.

I did manage to sell my Muff for 100, which is nice cause I never used it. I actually traded in for a shure beta 58 and got 100$ value for it towards the mic.

    Current board:

    Ernie Ball Volume, $100.
    Vox Wah, $70.
    MXR DynaComp, $50.
    MXR Phase 90, $80.
    Line 6 Tap Tremolo, $120.
    Keeley TS-9 Plus, $150.
    Keeley TS-9 Baked, $150.
    DigiTech DigiVerb, $90.
    Boss DD-6, $140.
    Korg DT-3, $50.
    Shannon Overdrive, $120.

    Total: $1120.

    Add in the Pedal Power 2, $165, and the pedalboard itself plus mods, $95. Cables over the years, probably about $50. And velcro, about $20. That brings me up to $1450. Not bad.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    Yikes.....kinda scary......

    Shannon OD $140
    Hughes and Kettner Tube Factor $130
    EH Double Muff $60
    EH Smallstone $70

    Damn......i guess it was worth it. Got my Dunlop DC Brick from a friend for free and built my own pedalboard, so in reality I shouldn't complain.
    Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference. I'm not trying to make a difference. I'll stop trying to make a difference. No way!

    Dunlop 535Q Wah - 110
    Shannon OD - 130
    Ibanez SD-9 - 60
    MXR Phase 90 - 70

    total = 370


    luckily the pedalboard itself came free when i bought the wah (so that's around a 70 dollar value), then figure some hosa pedal couplers at around 12 bucks. I also have the amp footswitch on my board and use it to control the tremelo and also use the 2nd channel as a boost.

    when it's all said and done my board will probably end up totalling around 650 or 700...damn what an expensive hobby we all have :)...but there's not much better.
