My delusions of grandeur are much more modest. As it were.
IMHO you only need a drive and a delay. I have multples of each so that when I get bored I swap out pedals. I have a small board with a drive and delay and a larger board with overdrives reverb and a Mel9. I also have a compressor and a wah somewhere and a broken phaser. I lent someone a fuzz.
I tend to buy stuff I really want and keep it. I bought my fuzz in 2000 and rarely use it. One of my overdrives is from 2001. If I'm experimenting I'll buy used and sell or trade it. I traded a load of overdrives and fuzzes. I shifted some Lovetone stuff because they were half trick poneys. IMHO of course.
I've borrowed a lot of stuff over the years.
So I have about 4 overdrives 1 fuzz 2 delays and bits and pieces collected since 1997-the first 3 years was buy sell overload. I've calmed down. Last year I bought 3 pedals and that was the first time I bought something since 2007.
So in summary buy lots of stuff.

Not here. Realised that a long time ago, but still get suckered. Maybe it's genetic. My missus reaches a point with booze where she knows she should stop and does. I reach a point where I realise I should have stopped three drinks ago and it's all a bit late. Yeah, it must be biology, not just idiocy.
I've concluded that gas was just something to sate my interest when I wasn't actively involved with a band.
I don't even like music that much...
...I love pedals...so shiny...
I've slowed down. My pedalboard is almost identical to a year ago. I got a Thorpy Peacekeeper for my birthday last year which went on there for a while, but I ended up back with the drives I had before. Only other change is to remove a pedal.
Not saying it's set in stone, but I have calmed down with buying pedals.
At least, that's my experience. Since I got the Helix, I've not been remotely tempted by anything to do with tone; it's all been "How can I make my rig lighter/more convenient?".
ah yeah, but then you'll start wondering if a small lunchbox head and pedal train nano board is REALLY what you need because you're simplifying ....
Now I just need a small, lightweight power amp to go with it and I'm done. While I'm waiting for one of those, though, my Rocktron Velocity 120 does the job perfectly well.
