Board-of-pedals-not-used challenge

I was cleaning among my music stuff and realized that I have a pretty solid board among the pedals I'm not using at all. Which probably indicates bad hoarding behavior more than anything else. Anyways, it's been a while since we had a challenge-type thread so why not?
I actually have two okay boards with my spares, lol.
1:
Fab tone > Algal Bloom > behringer chorus > Behringer pn-2 clone > RV-3
2:
Suneater oscillator > HM-2 > VP JR > BF-2 > supa-trem > PDS8000 > ghost echo
I think I have other stuff too but it's a few behringer dirtboxes or DIY stuff that never really worked

I don't have a spare "board" but I do have a pile of unused gain pedals.
I could put together a "it'd work in a pinch" set up though.
Fuzzhugger Phantom Ring > Dano Fab Tone > Fuzzhugger Velcroar > EHX Frequency Analyzer > Ampeg Scrambler clone > Boss DD-20
would probably fill most of my "normal" needs, but I'd be very unhappy without my Test Pattern from Hell, the Space Echoes, etc.
I have a tendency to buy two of stuff I use a lot of if I see a "need" or a significant benefit in having two. Most recent is a Boss GT-100 to go with the functionally identical (patches exchange) sound-wise Boss GT-001, both a real Space Echo and a RE-20, etc. Only "double" I haven't kept around as part of the double set up is a second Scrambler - I just don't get enough benefit out of using two to use space on my board.
And it's not so much hoarding after a while but simply some of this stuff doesn't sell, and I don't have a great need for the $$$.

I'm working on board #2 given my inability to sell any of my unused pedals, and the lack of real estate on my main board...just need some sort of delay/reverb...
Unused board: Four Eyes, The Laboratory, EHX Silencer, EHX Hot Tubes, Catalinbread RAH, Digitech Trio, EHX 720, Operator?!
For this I'm vacillating between Catalinbread Bicycle, or Pladask Elektrisk Gjenganger V2. Will probably need some kind of modulation as well...
The hot tubes, and RAH swap out on my main board with a Catalinbread CB30, so when one of those is over there, the CB30 would be on this board, and I'm figuring to get an EHX Key9 that swaps out with my Mel9 on the main board...so the odd man out there would also end up on this board.

Eh...Big Muff, Crybaby, SD-1, TU-2, DD-7.
Basic? Yeah. But actually a solid board.

I don't have a board. I have a library. These are all pieces that I enjoy, but they're not things I need for casual, everyday noodling.
(guitar>) Mr. Black Supermoon Chrome > Subdecay Noise Box > EHX Micro Synth (big box 90s version) > Subdecay Quasar DLX > Catalinbread Semaphore TT (final, discontinued version) > Moog MF-104M
My everyday chain looks more like: analog string synth > CB Echorec > Experimental Noize Aphazing > Empress Tremolo 2 > Boss VB-2W

I've been meaning to make a small board with my unused pedals.
Ts9>big Muff>arpanoid>de7
Then maybe putting a UCreate music toy or a KORG miniKP at the end since I'm not using them for anything special.

I use most of my pedals, but these two is not on a board at the moment:
The TU-2 is not on the board cause I use the tuner on the Pitchfactor to save pedalboard real-estate.
And the PS-2 makes to much noise, even in bypass, and is a little broken, to have on a gigging board.
To bad, because it is one of my favorite pedals, and the pedal I've had the longest(7 years).

Fab Tone -> PS-3 -> Reverberation Machine -> Space Echo -> Rat
Not too shabby I'd say

I did this in making a grab'n'go board last month...

...but this month I've been using the '77 Crybaby in my main setup

Kind of concentrated my efforts there, didn't I
Damn, people have awesome stuff they don't use. Bitquests, mf104m, memory man etc. that's really awesome stuff
