Amateur guitarist here, posting from Paris, France.

My initial intention was to reduce my pedalboard to very few essential effects pedals... Finally I'm adding some new ones... so I ended up with 11 pedals (starting with 8 ones).

Brands are Kokko, Ammoon, Behringer, TC Electronics, Dunlop, Mooer, Ibanez.

Chained like this: Comp > Wah > Overdrive > Distortion > Fuzz > Phaser > Tremolo > Mods (chorus/Vibrato/Rotary) > Delay > Reverb > Looper

Some updates:

I'm playing pop rock and hard rock songs in a four piece band, with some "space rock" bits here and there.

The looper is essentialy a training device when I'm alone at home. This model allows for a Reverse effet and I intend to use it live when I'm comfy with it.

The Kokko Space is a really nice reverb for the cheap price, cranked up to max it produces a very cool and subtle dreamy/spacy effect.

The Behringer Vintage Phaser is the best phaser I could test (and I tested a lot of cheap phasers...). It's very smooth and creamy, and doesn't boost the signal when switched on (more expansive pedals tend to do it...).

Any comment?

Not a guitar guy (drive-by from c/all) but no one is roasting you, so I'll do my best:

I've seen nicer setups hanging from Pat Finnerty's pedal-mobile.

    I agree with the other posters, nothing to roast!

    Everything looks good to me, but I'd experiment with putting the fuzz sooner in the chain, either right before or right after the wah, personally. I'm not too familiar with the superfuzz circuit, but some fuzzes I would put before a compressor, also.

    Nothing to roast here, looks like a solid setup and signal chain. Fuzz in the middle is an interesting choice for sure, I'm curious how that stacks.

    The pedalboard equivalent of a Kerry Catona Iceland buffet advert.

    Starting cheap is always good! Lets you figure out what you like and don’t like without breaking the bank.
