So absolutely tired of everything I own and am considering a pedalboard overhaul as I am not currently involved in any project. What I'm asking of the beautiful people of Ilf is to help me get a decent setup with what I got so I can consider what to get rid of.

Fuzz:
Fuzz factory
Little big muff
Monsterpiece mkII
Sib nick nitro
Devi torns peaker

Od/distortion
Boss od3
Boss sd1
Rat

Pitch:
Whammy iv
Dod meatbox

Modulation:
Dod fx 65 chorus
Electro harmonix clone theory
Earth Quaker devices rainbow machine
Berringer vibrato

Delay
Diamond quantum leap
Boss dd7
Boss dd20
Malekko 616

Reverb:
Line 6 verbzilla
Boss rv3

Just start trying weird combos!

Whammy IV -> RAT -> Rainbow Machine -> 616 -> RV3 -> DD7 -> Meatbox

Verbzilla -> Torns Peaker -> OD3 -> DD20 -> FX65 -> RAT

Rainbow Machine -> Little Big Muff -> Berringer Vibrato -> Diamond Quantum Leap -> Whammy IV -> Meatbox

^ Yep. There's a lot of cool pedals there, maybe you should get a solid OD like the ss/bs Mini or a phaser to add but I'm sure you'd be surprised at what can be done with what you already have.

You should totally try: RV3 -> Torns Peaker -> RAT -> Quantum Leap -> DD7 -> FX65 -> Verbzilla

I would keep these and look to some of our ILF Builders for some more Dirt... Algal Bloom and a Mini Fuck to start with... El Cap and an RRR and you could ditch another delay...

Not enough DMM in that list. There's your problem

But yeah, try putting together a small setup like skully suggested.

Fuzz Factory > Whammy > Clone Theory > DD7.
Maybe throw a reverb in there somewhere.
Force yourself to do more with less and try using effects in new ways/with new settings.

How many marijuanas have you tried smoking?

Have a look at the 60s fuzz thread and use one of the fuzzes suggested there instead of OD. Low gain fuzz as OD is great, and the extra texture can be quite inspirational.

Grab a boss bf2 flanger. You can get it to sound chorusy, or it does a great Leslie sound, or robots and airplanes and shit.

And grab something a bit out there like a subdecay Noisebox or octasynth, or a Rainger air traffic controller.

Then put a bunch of pedals in a box and forget about them. All your pedals are rad and you'll probably dig them again in the future.

ugh. going down to a smaller board is so FUN. i can't fuck with my big board because i use everything on it for chunks of songs, but i have a home fuck around board that's just pitch shifter -> fuzz -> phaser -> delay -> preamp and it's so AWESOME. i love all the loot bits, but going simple is way different way of playing too.

Do The Skully. LISTEN TO HIS INFINITE WISDOM.

I'd be complete with that setup.hmmmm...
If I had to add stuff, that currently or perviously owned...
Catalinbread Pareidolia (I love this with the fuzz factory, its like a phaser for people who hate phasers)
Goatkeeper (make weird rythmes to loop, in your looper)
Deluxe Pitch Pirate (yeah, you look set on delay, but this one is awesome)
Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai (its worth the looper alone, but the reverse and multi tap delays, are really unique)

Although, I've never owned one the EHX Ringthing looks like the weird little pedal out there, and could be a replacement for your Whammy.

Hey hanks for all the input Guys ! It's funny cause the last thing I was thinking about replacing was my overdrive. But I've never really checked any others out before. Who ever said the smmh has a good Idea as for that's the only thing I've really had my eyes on as of late. I also think I'm gonna try out a phaser, kinda uncharted waters for me. But really thanks for all the suggestions and I look toward to trying some off these different arrangements.

oof. if you can find a good deal on a Faye Sing, DO THAT SHIT SON.

i didn't like phasers till i got one of those.

me. OW.

mk II -> RV-3 -> torn's peaker -> OD-3 -> quantum leap
