And in it's place was a pile of money. What would you get for your new pedal board? Would any be ones you had in you disappeared board? I have someone who will buy all or most of mine so I could start over. This could be fun.

I suddenly feel better about my pedal board! Not better enough to post a picture, but better!

To the question, I've been tweaking my pedal board for longer than I can remember - I built my first one, with independent power to and tru-bypass for each pedal, in 1974.

Today's board includes too many pedals, and I'm trying to make room for just a couple more that were retired prematurely.
 
There are only, maybe, two pedals I would replace at this point:
- Randy's Revenge is a really cool ring modulator, but it is different, not necessarily better than the Vitruvian Mod that currently does the job for me, and that replaced a Snarling Dogs Mold Spore and an EH Frequency Analyzer<G>!
- I have the first version of the Prometheus Envelope Follower Filter, and I'm sorely tempted to upgrade to the DLX. This replaced a string of filter pedals that included the original Mutron III, a couple versions of the Q-Tron, and the Xotic Robotalk, that probably lasted on the board longer than any of the others.
 
I am completely satisfied with the rest. Although there are two (I sense a pattern) pedals I am considering adding, the new Pigtronix Synth pedal and the EH Super-Ego+, but I'm just not sure I'd use them for anything other than goofing off - and there is just no room<G>!

Lost my post, I'll try again later. Short version, I'd pretty much replace them 1:1

Hey BassDaddy ! Yes this could be a fun topic indeed .
 
I have a nice pedal board (by my standards ). I spent years putting it together . 
Given the choice , at this point in time I would probably be OK just keeping the money .
 
I have my reasons ,

I use a midi pedal board into Sonar. It is pretty fun. I don't use my straight pedal board often.

Some older Behringer stuff could be unreliable but those things are still going strong. I bet you can still
get them on Ebay.

Kenny and guys, I am looking to simplify and down size. I don't need all the various drive and distortion pedals. Right now I have a Tone City Sweet Cream and a J Rockett Archer. I bought a Fender Bassbreaker 15 head last spring and tell the truth you don't have to have a pedal for it. Ive been using the Sweet Cream with it through a Cannabis Rex and it is really nice. Actually way better than nice. ISD would like to see what people would get if the could get any delay, chorus and reverb pedals. The Boss chorus is still pretty good but if there are some good ones I don't know about I would love to hear. I think the midi board is something I should have any way.
