As long as you get the sound you're after, I don't think it really matters.

and as far as a fourth drive, I'm eyeing the Bearfoot Model H.
Maybe partying will help.

Re: Overdrive to fuzz ratio: What's ok?
Bottom line, use what works best for you. Personally I like to have at least three dirt flavors: overdrive, glitchy lead, and DESTROY EVERYTHING. So I'm running a High Five Plus into a Wolf Computer into a Musket.
With the wolf computer set to be on the bassier side of glitchiness and the musket set looser and slightly muddy I feel like I'm bearing witness to the cosmic destruction of the inner solar-system. And I really wish the band I'm in would let me use that tone more often

Re: Overdrive to fuzz ratio: What's ok?
I like to use fuzzes for overdrive. Ergo: moar fuzz.

Re: Overdrive to fuzz ratio: What's ok?
You could have five overdrives and no fuzz and you'd still have fuzz... just stack em wisely. I wouldn't argue for any ratio as a good ratio, whatever works for you is what is good.

i didn't saw it in that seriousness - more like a survey what works for yourself the best.
i'm bored of normal drive and distortion. it has no edge, character or style that i really like for my music. and i don't get the pedal overdrive stuff really. for me a driven tube amp always sounds better than any overdrive pedal. this is not the fact for fuzz. and that is why i gave my 10/1 ratio. for authentic distortion and overdrive sounds i have tube amps....

Personally I have a clean boost, no dists or ODs and one fuzz that stacks on my amp's preamp gain. Anything works fine.

Yeah this was more like a survey, I don't see why nearly everyone thinks I'm trying to get my board set up on the basis of other peoples ideals

This. That's more or less what I've been doing. I really like this kinda set up.

I think it's the way you asked your questions.

I just did a mental tally to actually answer the question
Current board has three fuzz
1 boost
1 OD (monarch)
1 Distortion (thanks to Bukowski!)
and 2 not sure what they are pedals Wave Canon and a hartman Rat
Both could be OD/Distortion/Fuzzy at times
So the ratio I guess is 3 to 1 but I am trying to jam on my lotus drive and a muff clone so it would be 4 to 2
Switching to a three board setup (from 2) hopefully tonight if given time
