How many dirt pedals live on your pedalboard fulltime?

As of today: 6
Board: P1 Muff, CC1 o/d ST2 Boost/eq)
Rack: Rats, BK TD rack, BKTD pedal.

I like that you specify 'as of today' because by tomorrow it might all be different.

Just the two, rat into a zen drive but with a Klon pushing the rat

isn't that like err....3 then ?

Im not in anyway referring to the Klon as a dirt pedal, it gives me no dirt. Isn't that what was asked?

I guess if your 2 dirt pedals were off and your Klon was on and you still had a clean sound then yeah I guess...if not then a resounding nay lad!

Full-time hey.. My Green Machine handwired TS808 clone served me well as my only OD for over 8 years. Currently, my Peacekeeper is the only OD I need to make music. Truly remarkable overdrive! I've got a Gunshot and may lob it on my board in the future.

You got it. Crystal clean it is.

2. Thorpy peacekeeper and Hudson broadcast. Both in the loops of the helix.

4. Low gainer for edge of breakup type tones. Two mid-gain (which can be stacked for high gain) and a fuzz.

2 - MI Audio Crunch Box (pretty much always on) plus Barber Trifecta if I need something darker - plus use the Trifecta as a boost for lead.

Two - Suhr Riot Reloaded pushed by a Suhr Shiba Reloaded.   The two are always on together.

One.

I use the gain channel on my Lionheart for lower gain drive tones and currently have a Screwdriver Deluxe clone for solos and heavier drives. 

There's a clean boost at the end of the chain to compensate for enthusiastic drummers and suchlike. 

It varies depending on what I need for whatever project I'm playing in. The current board is a hangover from my last band, which was mostly folky/bluesy sort of stuff with only an acoustic guitar to compete with, hence the lack of fuzz pedals and shit.

I admit i have a dirt pedal problem....

Swart Atomic Boost
Swart fuzzy boost
Ranger Fx Dr.Freakenstien
Rotosound RBF1
Monkey fx valve sporker
DAM Drag'n fly
Providence stampede SOV 1
Rothwell Heartbreaker
Danelectro cool cat distortion

so thats 9 on my board at the moment, in my defence i use a single channel amp and no 2 of these pedals are remotely similar and they do all get used frequently.

2.

A Tim and a Mk1 Guv'nor.    I think I only use the Guv'nor for one song though and I could probably just take it off the board and just use the Tim.  My brain has a hard enough time remembering all the songs, so keeping it simple is a good thing for me at the moment.

Wow that must sound brutal.

3 on my board (plus an MXR Microamp clone)

Tubescreamer(ish) pedal that I built
OCD Clone
Mad Professor Mighty Red Distortion

The OCD is my go to rhythm sound.  The Mighty Red is higher gain than that - can be used as higher gain rhythm or for lead, and the Tubescreamer type is used to push them a bit harder when required.  I can also push them with the Microamp clone.

2 Klon KTR and Thorpe Gunshot. Tubescreamer keeps coming and going, but don't really need it - same with Spark booster. Fancy a Keeley Montery

Do you have a klon either side of the gunshot? Or both before or after?

Sorry - that reads wrong!

I meant I have 2 pedals -

Klon into Gunshot.

I have the Klon set as a sort of high end Tubescreamer, I have a number of TS pedals - but the Klon has a lovely 'transparency' (I hate that term, but I mean I can still hear the guitar) - which I like.

Gunshot then gives me MIAB, Klon gives me boost and my amps lead channel gives me more EVH gain with the Klon boosting that.

Klon on it's own for SRV levels of gain

Amptweaker FatMetal Distortion
BAT Pharaoh Fuzz
R.Attack RT-2 (RAT clone)

The Amptweaker is amazing because I have the Pharaoh in it's FX loop and it sounds HEAVY. The RT-2 is on low gain on the other loop when the Amptweaker is disengaged, so it's effectively like having two channels. Amazing device. Surprised they're not more popular.

I agree re:Amptweaker, they should definitely be more popular.

Here's what I'm rocking atm:
Effectrode Fire Bottle
Cornish P-2
Magnetic Effects White Atom
Amptweaker TIght Metal Pro
Ramble FX Marvel Drive V3
ThorpyFX Gunshot
Buffalo FX TD-X
RYRA Klone
Timmy

There's a bit of crossover between the Marvel/Gunshot/TD-X but they all do their thing incredibly well.

I sent my first Marvel back after playing it with the Reeves as it sounded too spongy, however, with the Laney it's got a nice crack to it which is exactly what I hoped for.

The Gunshot has the best sounding dynamic lead tone I've ever heard so that's a mainstay. But not quite tight enough to do the palm mutey stuff that I use the Marvel for. But they're similarly voiced so compliment each other nicely.

The TD-X does that Gilmour lead and nice clean boost if needed. If I wasn't a fan, I'd likely kick that one off first. But it's great for scratching that itch.

Crossover between the Marvel and TMP but I use the Amptweaker for more metal stuff. And the Timmy and Klone are distinct enough to warrant both. There's a warmth to the Klone that I absolutely adore and the Timmy gives me a nice light crunch that I've been after for a while. Both are superb, versatile, low gainers and wouldn't be without them. 

Fire Bottle is magic in a box. There's a beautiful mid range to the P-2 that I've not found in other muffs, yet. And the White Atom is the dogs swingers, really nails Muse, QOTSA, Hendrix and all sorts, so I've got a lot of ground covered there.

Think I'm done. It's a lot but I don't gig and it's all staying at home, so its no bother. If I were to gig, I'd struggle to slim them down, in all honesty.

Currently down to two - a 4114FX KOT with a Jimmy Behan klone after for boost - sometimes throw in a Skreddy Lunar Module Mini for added mayhem

I'm relieved; I thought at 7 I would be the biggest addict.

One of these days I'll switch them all at once.  It'll be like that bit at the beginning of Back To The Future.

Three...mayflower, voyager and king of tone.
