Not looking for which specific effects they usually are.
Although, you're more than welcome to share that info & anything else you wanna say.
I'm just interested in terms of sheer numbers.
I would say "three" would be the number of my pedals frequently on at the same time.

I usually have a maximum of 3-4, but my pedalboard is going to be a lot bigger soon, so who knows

it's not uncommon for me to have on a boost, overdrive, fuzz, three reverbs, two delays, and a chorus at once. usually it's 2-5 pedals.

Between 1 and 4.
Mostly OD,Fuzz, Wah and Delay.
I leave my OD on all the time though.

Sometimes all of them (6 on this newer board) for a wash of sound, but usually 3-4 at most (chorus vibrato+phaser+tremolo+delay).

Fuzz almost always on, I've take to cleaning up with my volume knob. But it can be anywhere from one to four effects on with the wah included now. Usually if the wah is on I'll leave the flanger off, though, just so it doesn't get too noisy.

Almost always at least 5: Boost, two fuzzes, delay and verb.
When I'm playing something clean: two delays, verb, a couple mod pedals (ring mod, phase, etc.)
