Boldest pick: Line 6 Relay G10
Only 5 pro artists on Equipboard own it, but it's ranked #13 in Instrument Cables.
Avg price: $65.69
Great, give me a mini!
Best tuner i.m.o. Would give it 5 stars if there was a mini-version. Tuners should not take up so much space!
Avg price: $167.19
Good, but weird power connector.
Very good, but for some reason Line 6 gave it a very weak 5 Volt USB connector instead of a standard and sturdy 9 Volt DC connector. That means you can't use it on a standard pedal board power supply without modifying it.

Harley Benton D-Seed Dual Channel Digital Delay
Avg price: $59.00
Very good, considering it's price!
Very good delay. It has 4 modes, 2 presets and tap tempo. and it costs less than €75. Exactly the same as the Joyo pedal, just a different branding.
Only drawback is that it needs a power supply, batteries can't be used internally.
Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Neo
Avg price: $130.10
Much too sensitive, pretty useless.
This one is much too sensitive. Every setting beyond 8 o'clock takes you to a cathedral. Even all the way down, the signal is not 100% dry. This renders it pretty useless. Bummer, because the sound is actually quite good.
Avg price: $154.25
Great full range boost.
A lot of headroom, especially because of the internal 9 volts to 18 volts doubling. Really a clean boost.
Avg price: $239.10
Paisley Drive on steroids. Great stuff!
The Wampler Paisley Drive Deluxe Pedal is a combination of two completely independent overdrive circuits - it really is like owning two pedals in one. It features Brad Paisley's favourite Wampler Underdog Pedal and the original Paisley circuit to give you two flavours of overdrive that can be cascaded into one another in any order you choose. Each channel has separate input and output connections so you can truly operate them as individual pedals or in the same way as Tom Quayle's revolutionary Dual Fusion Pedal; they can be cascaded into one another in any order you choose. This in an incredibly responsive and amp-like dual overdrive pedal that is designed to integrate into your setup in a multitude of ways and give you versatile overdrive tones for a wide range of musical styles.
Avg price: $130.22
Great for boosting
Overdrive based on the Klon circuit. I use it for mainly clean boost, to drive the amp to the breakup point.
About this setup
This gear photo by pkrul features 12 pieces of gear, including TC Electronic PolyTune 3, Keeley Compressor Plus, and Line 6 Relay G10. The setup spans Effects Pedals and Cables, with a wide range of price points. Artists with this kind of gear are most often found in the Rock, Pop, and Folk, World, & Country scenes.
Those are legit leftovers.
I could probably build two more boards from what I still have lying around. I might be a hoarder...
I'm doing something similar. Have you considered adding a few jacks for signal -> amp, or effects loop <-> amp?
On my large board I have a Rockboard patch bay that can do that. But basically I never use the amps' effect loop, it's just guitar -> effects -> amp. Not only do I find this to sound better, it's also easier when I have to play through amps that are not mine. And lastly, my Dr. Z amps' effect loop is pretty useless, because it needs an extra buffer to work.
Why no Wampler Tumnus on the main board? That one's on my wishlist so I'm curious :)
The Tumnus is basically a Klon circuit. I already have a Klon KTR on my main board, so the Tumnus provides some Klon to my other board. :-)
Fair enough! You have an amazing collection.
Thanks!
