Did some recording for a mate at the weekend.
Took Blackheart HD amp head and plugged through a Jettenuator directly into the recording interface.
Added a Studio One Analogue delay and the results are superb.
No need for mic's or my (mainly Boss) pedal board.
Am I cured?

If you can be arsed to fiddle and tweak and get a Multi FX like HX set up properly there is absolutely no excuse for pedals unless you really need a POG because Helix falls short on that one.
If you can't afford a Helix ; a Mooer Red Truck can be had for about £150 and is absolutely all you need to sound great.
One example being lusting after a Chase Bliss Warped Vinyl - which is stunning - but the sound I'd use most on there can be achieved fairly closely on my Visual Sound H2O v3 set to the vibrato mode and tweaked. And having used it on recordings and at several band practices, it really does sound fantastic.
So I've since sold a lot of the boutique/quirky/expensive pedals, and built a pedal board that I'm really happy with. And surprisingly, the majority of the pedals on the board are from Boss (which reminded me of the board @builttospill posted a page back). The PH3 does some really great insane stuff on the Step setting, the RV5 is one of the best reverb pedals you can buy, and the HF-2 is the best flanger I've ever tried. And none of the Boss pedals cost me more than £70. So the only really quirky stuff I'm left with is the EQD Data Corrupter and the Digitech Whammy.
And the GAS seems to have disappeared - I look at the board and there's nothing I want to sell, nothing new I want to buy. I'm really happy with the board and yesterday's practice was one of the best ever - full use of the board, effects used musically, and I knew where everything was/how to set it.
Your board would also make a man like me very happy.
About ten years back I owned a board which consisted of Analogman pedals, the AM chorus which was superb, a Peppermint fuzz which was my favourite fuzz and host of others inc vintage and boutique pedals.
Modeling fever took over and then I sold the lot to fund an M13 (when they were expensive!) in truth I never got in with it, I found it hampered creativity, I could never work out how to do presets,
I eventually sold the M13 and went back to boutique then sold those and gradually went all Boss, I have stupidly overlooked Boss and wish I had discovered them earlier.
