I've been playing drums in a band for the last couple of years.

I finally started a new band where I'm playing guitar. I'm collecting shiny things at the moment, getting ready to unleash them on unsuspecting audiences. :bob:

cool, it's interesting to see all the responses. I guess I should've made an "all of the above" choice too, huh? sorry.

I use my gear live, mostly, and bring my live gear into the studio (save for a small tube amp for recording that won't cut it live). I usually trade or sell off anything I don't use live so I tend to keep things _fairly_ simple.

Was and am a Pedal Junky
Worked in a studio for 2 years, left to go play myself and pursue my guitar and equipment love, Studio stage...
Didn't find anyone to jam with as I live in a small town, so...
Stopped playing for a year because I was too busy trying to do other things so crapped up and had to spend these past few months re-learning the guitar to a decent standard, which i'm still not happy with, but need someone to jam with to get it back up so that was the bedroom stage.
Went to live in a music orientated town, got drunk too often and couldn't get a job as the town was just full of other drunk musicians and pubs, my gigging stage.
Just started accumulating equipment to join a new band who i'm auditioning for as I sold alot off when unemployed and not playing, plus I'm just
trying to get my dream pedal board and not have to think of it much, accumulation stage that hopefully leads to a decent gigging stage again.

Oh and who voted I buy what people tell me too, your a bad, bad person... :poke:

I use pedals, guitars and 2 amps live, and at home I have a lot more pedals, synths and drum machines for recording.

Dream pedal board hmm...
Well I make alot of my own pedals too but this is what I have of it (I have others, but they don't make my dream list)
My Micro Pog (Not a fan of the new Pog II and the larger original pog doesn't track aswell as the Micro),
My Modded Cry Baby Wah,
Modded Daphon E20DL Delay (it's basically an BOSS DM-2 but improved)
My Dr Boogey Distortion Pedal (Based off a Mesa dual Rectifier head, sounds like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8eavPywIHQ)
Devi Ever Aenima (with added switch to take it to Torns Peaker)
Tone Bender Mk II Clone with all original Mullards :joy:
An Keeley Java Boost Clone With an Mullard OC44 :joy:

This is what I want...
An MidFi Pitch Pirate & Clari-Not
An Devi Ever Dark Boost
Another Micro Pog... I gotta see what 2 sound like together
An ADA Flanger Which I will be cloning soon
An Small Clone Chorus also soon to be cloned
An Phase 180 (basically a dual phase 90...) Clone...
A Tremulus Lune Tremolo also to be cloned
An Vibrato called the Easy Vibe which has Leslie Amp Emulation Capabilities... Clone
An Z.Vex Lo-Fi Junky
An Distortion Clone pedal called the English Channel from ROG (based off an VOX AC30)
An Modded Ross/DynaComp Compressor Clone...
An Hardwire RV-7 Reverb(which I should be receiving soon)
And a few other bits...

Should start a dream pedal board thread if there isn't one.

I don't play an instrument, I just bought a bunch of pedals to look cool online.
