Well, I only borrowed the UFO BQ from Eivind, but I seriously think having two of these is like having an extra PT jr or something. If you're down to learn all the settings and you get fast at changing them up in between songs, there are so many sonic opportunities waiting for you, and you could probably play most gigs with these two.

Yeah. The possibilities seem endless (I realize that mathematically we can prove that wrong pretty quickly). BitQuest for PotUS 2016.

The only pedal I consistently find myself wanting two of is the BitQuest! I have to talk myself out of it all the time.

I have 2 Maxon D&S on the board now for Fuzz>Reverb>Fuzz>Reverb toans.

I have a lot of duplicate pedals so they can live on two boards (one for gigging and one for home usually), but I'm currently using two POGs at the same time.
Running one like a Micro Synth and one for experimenting with new sounds.

I could easily run two Boss OC-2s on a board, one for octave only and one for octave and dry.

I totally agree. I'm late to the BQ party... got one recently and immediately thought two things:

1. Based on the multitude of features and sheer number of opportunities to get happily lost, easily the most fun pedal I've ever played.
2. I'm gonna need more than one.

Do two DIY Big Muff clones count? A Rams Head and a Green Russian. They are both very different animals so I'm thinking it doesn't count.

Today I bought another black Russian muff, I tried playing both at the same time and it was fun, but not something I'd do in a band.

Oh yeah, I have two cosmichori on my gig board as well. And I used to have two velcrobots but had to sell one because bills.

I'm a parallel effect dude most of the time (since multiple amps).

Have two Test Patterns (including one that makes the original look...limited that I had built), a pair of Ampeg Scrambler clones, a pair of Digitech RDS 3.6 for duelling LFO-delay, and that's just the current lineup.

All of them that I have duplicates (including the 5 RDS delays I have on hand) sound somewhat different, due to aging, individual components, maker choices, and whatnot. Even on the digital delays, the LFOs and max circuit time tuning is slightly different on all of them and I have the two favorite ones in the rig fulltime (the others are backup these days as I have enough other delays to kill babies).

20ish year old Scrambler bathroom PCB build and BOYC version are very, very similar (with a slight edge to the beater I've had for years that beat out a real one and a reissue to stay with me), only difference on the extreme end of the spectrum or if hit *VERY* hard.

Test Patterns - one can get the sounds of the original easily, but the original can't touch the modded design (built in starve and a couple tweaks, plus uses an original SM circuit with chaos switch and some other stuff).

I have a couple units also that are "can fool me if I label the session notes wrong" good - a clone of my standard Space Echo settings and individual unit's performance (which is on the hi-fi end of things as I don't like a poorly maintained warbler) on the venerable Quadraverb (down to the slight oscillation of the short head), a second Jazz Chorus in the Boss GT-001 that's the spitting image of my JC50 after I tweaked the model's reverb a little, etc...

Mo' deets about this, please.

I own:

Chuck Colins - Interfax RI
Nine of Swords - Headache
Fredric Effects - Harmonic Percolator
Montgomery Appliances - Harmonic Dominator
Catalinbread - Karma Suture

It's the montgomery (used as my highest gain fuzz) and catalinbread (used as a low gain boost/od) ones on my board.

I love them and I'll keep collecting them, but I don't really need to right now.

Nice. Thank you. Interesting (… and cray).

that isn't really more than one of the same pedal though. just pedal type.

i keep two black rainbow machines in my setup.

I've been doing this a lot on recordings...double tracking with a vintage fuzz on one track and using a clone of the same circuit on the other track. Always cool results cause there are differences between the two sounds even though they are pretty close, i.e. like the decay characteristics will be a little off and it creates interesting motion etc.

You need to go over to my thread and talk to me about RM settings:

I've been trying to find a way to make two Rainbow Machines work well together.

That sounds super rad.

when i got my first clone of a vintage pedal that I already owned, i was obviously curious to know how close to the original the clone was and spent a lot of time a/b ing recorded tracks to hear how similar or not they sounded and got the idea to double track for the easiest way to compare etc. Turned out this sounded REALLY interesting with both tracks playing, and i've been using this technique a lot now to get this desired result. Also confirmed my suspicion that clones of vintage pedals dont sound identical for who knows what reason? Different builders of the same circuit often sound identical but I've never found a clone that was a dead ringer.
