This is my stash currently (not counting commercial and stuff I've bought from other peeps)
(http://juansolo.co.uk/stompage/images/allstomps2015.jpg)
I've reached a place where I think I've now tried most things out there and decided what I like (bear in mind that this lot is already 2 purges in, so I like everything there). I went through the lot and decided on 20 pedals to keep at home. Cleggy has a lot of the same stuff so he's going to do the same.
The remainder of the two stashes are going to go into an uber-stash over at Cleggy's for peeps to try. There's going to be a lot of duplication...
The duplicates are going to be in the mother of all purges.
Mwahahahaa!
Very cool.
I am thinking of doing a purge of my own. I don't have as many unused pedals, but I think I want to fund a 335 so some things must go.
Goodgoogamooga.
That is one impressive wall of effects. :o
I plan on doing a purge here before too long - ideally, I want to have 2 pedals besides tuners. The first, a pre/wah - an always on OD/dist pedal (probably the flabulanche) with a wah in the same enclosure.
Second pedal will be a dual pt2399 delay with independent modulation - what I'm envisioning is a treadle to control the speed where you can go from almost a Univibe sound all the way to a faux chorus, that can modulate the dry signal or the repeats depending on whether the delay is activated
Ordered a load of boxes, bubble wrap and packaging tape...
Got an idea what's going to be going... Probably 40-50 pedals :o

Wow, that's quite a load of pedals.
Any idea where you plan to flog them?
It's a week or so away. But I'll be listing them here, Facebook and The Fretboard (UK Forum). Or rather I'll likely list them on TFB and link everything else to it (it's easier for me to keep track of that way).
I need to do a purge... but in my experience, no one wants to buy my pedals!
I had that too to be fair. Just dropped the prices until they did.
A bunch of super awesomeness there... and we all know that they look equally impressive under the hood too....! 8)

This made me laugh... Truth is, your pedals are too advanced for us normal folk. :)
Steve.
$40 seems to be the going rate... which is too low for me.
Yeah that's way to low. I think my prices from the last purge ranged from about £35 to £75 depending on the effect.
I have this difficulty selling my own pedals, i think its the YT channel..."what if i need it". So there they are...100 pedals not being used. There should be a law against it really...no one should be able to hoard such a collection...
Personally the problem I have with buying other people's boxes and selling my own is customization. With a commercial pedal you get something so standardized you know what you will get and everybody is fine with it. There is no choice in the matter. You make your own pedal and you're free to do whatever layout, shape or form you want. The downside is that when you try to sell it, it may not be to the liking of someone else. The layout which is perfect for you may not be so perfect for someone else. That super duper artwork that makes you smile just looking at it, well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Sometimes I wish you could skip the enclosure, and only get a working circuit with jacks and knobs. And sometimes you come across a truly piece of art. And you curse your lack of funds that stops you from buying.
The universe truly has a perverse sense of humor.

That's basically raw parts cost (or less) for most builds with high quality parts.
I doubt I'll run much of anything out at less than $100, which may not make it friendly for DIY sites where folks can build their own. I don't have a ton of builds that I don't want, so if they don't sell that's OK.
Amazing group of pedals. I think the Maestro PS-1A clone is still one of my favorites.
What is that larger pedal in the upper dead-center, that has two footswitches and only one Marshall-style knob (kind of 70's graphics)?
Gaspedals Dumbbell?
:o
Oh man, I want in on this. I'll be keeping on eye on the BST section for sure. I'd take that Small Clone off of you right now, if you're so inclined...

The SC is in the keeper pile I'm afraid. The duplicate of that went in the previous purge.
JUANSOLO THAT IS AN AWESOME PHOTO

Leslish (ain't quite a leslie). It's a pair of modded Tri-vibes, wrapped in a a splitter/mixer. One gets high frequencies and runs faster than the other that gets the low frequencies. Knob is a dual gang on the rate of them. The left stomp is a ramp between low and high speeds, nicked from Josh's Multiplex and re-purposed. Busy as hell inside as it was more of a 'this could sound cool' thing rather than anything else. Actually sounds really cool (demo doesn't do it justice really).

We've had ideas on how to make this much cooler these days (basically doing it with two PS-1As and the splitter/mixer. Would require a little fettling of the speeds). Would also fit a mono and split output. We tried that when we built the original, where you could run two amps from it. That sounded awesome.
Purge update: 47 pedals sorted out to go. Need to photograph them and to for all the packaging to arrive (parcelforce lost the boxes and packaging tape, but I've got a big reel of bubble wrap...). Will hopefully get them all listed next week.

Looking forward to seeing the stash for sale.
Good luck getting all the photos and listings etc. sorted.... can imagine it will be a nightmare ;D

Sorted them, tested them, done an initial pass to get them all into a spreadsheet, priced them up, boxes, bubble and packaging tape has arrived.
Just need to photograph them all (which is likely a job for Monday) then list them all...
It has begun!

I've listed them all there as it'd be a 'mare to keep multiple forums up to date.
Mods: it might be worth moving this thread to the FS bit.
On my browser it only loads a few of the pics and when I click it just opens the same page in another tab with only the same pics loaded.
Got my eye on some... PM Incoming!

Hopefully I've fixed that. It didn't copy the hyperlinks over from the original doc I typed up.
Well it's started well. Haven't stopped since I listed them and have a big pile of boxes to send out tomorrow. ;D
