There are so many modeling options that many guitarists don't feel a need to start collecting a bunch of expensive pedals. I have a modeling amp, a couple of modeling units like a Line 6 Pod, and a couple of Tascam/ Boss recorders that include dozens of Boss pedal models built in, and even include drum machines, so I've never had a reason to buy pedals, other than my Donner Circle Looper. That's especially true since each pedal is often over $100 each.

Donner has a had a nice line of pedals for around $30-40 for quite a while now, and I've looked at them, but I still didn't have a need to pull the trigger. These are even cheaper, but I still doubt I'll start collecting pedals. I've heard a lot about the Klon, so I may spring for that one, but I doubt I'd have a use for the rest at any price.
