exactly, but then i'd want to recreate the sound so the effect inspiring would have to be on my board

That's why I have one project that is studio-only!

As many as humanly possible.
I have two pedals UNDER my PT-Pro...

PFFFFFT!

I KNOW, I KNOW.

I never know how many to call it! Or if counts towards me verbs and delays on board (most of what I use it for)

Call it one, even if it does 20 simultaneous effects. Be a tone dentist, I use "one" pedal straight into a tube amp.
That pedal happens to be a guitar synth with virtual guitars....but...I plug one pedal straight into an amp. Honest.
When I'm not using the rack. And the pedalboards.

I have a bunch but it seems like I only use 3-5 at a time. Sometimes I just use my Carbon Copy in my amp's fx loop.

fifteen or sixteen on the main board with a volume pedal insert (includes tuner)(1); four single-space rack units; a looper board with a stereo pan pedal, two loopers, two EQs, and a buffer. seven of the pedals on the main board are fuzz or distortion of one flavor or another, which may get reduced once i start using stuff outside the house more. if i really wanted to be Calvinist i'd cut down to the Algal Bloom, the 3-knob Great Wall or the Sound Shank, and the Distortion+. i'd like to squeeze at least one more pedal, a ring modulator, onto the board, and maybe a phaser if i can find an old TC unit. sometimes when i'm feeling lazy i just use a PodXT into the rack and/or loopers.
almost everything i have is on the board; i've had to sell the stuff i didn't use to stay afloat the last few months.
(1) Phantom Ring->Hi 5->Octave Multiplexer->Distortion+->Tone Reaper->Sound Shank->3-knob Great Wall->Algal Bloom; volume pedal insert; TC PolyTune_>RV-3->Pleasure Trem 5000->DiscumBOBulator->TC SCF->Ghost Echo->Velcroar

I go anywhere from 8-13 usually.
Right now it looks like,
EHX DMM, Boss DM-2, EQD Ghost Echo, EQD Rainbow Machine, Blackout Effectors Whetstone, Proco Turbo Rat, Fuzzhugger FX Algal Bloom, Malekko Vibrato, Sonic Research Turbo Tuner.
I might be adding a Monarch to this.

Heh, Jfet input buffer and an opamp output buffer. Considering building an order changer and having that under two fuzzes so that I can stack them A+B or B+A. If I ever go two amps, or two guitars or something I'd probably put an ABY under the board as well. Just functional stuff that I don't want to take up real estate (and obviously stuff I don't need to switch while playing).

I like the challenge of fitting everything on a board that fits into my cheap case, which is 5 or 6 pedals max. I have different boards for different jobs of course...but if I bring more stuff I end up doing more knob twiddling than I should.

This is kinda what I do. I have the big board the medium board and the pt-nano. The nano right now runs mxr bass octave>cc/dc>hm2>tremolessence>ghost disaster and that's kindof my grab and go jam board.
I have enough pedals that I'm trying to decide on what to run for a second board. This one's going to be more experimental and will be used the most, but I keep going back and forth on whether to go all-out ginormous or as compact as possible with it. Ginormous because I have a shit-ton of pedals and that console iii coming, small because it's easier to get straight to the playing and I don't get lost in a forest of knob twiddling sounds everytime I plug in.

Well, I think between 6 to 8 is a manageable number.

When I had my Whetstone it was pretty much always on
