Too Many Overdrives On One Board?

[MG90]

I have been working on my pedals and I now have the following OD's on the board:

TS 808 Reissue that I replaced the JRC4558D with old chip (way better now)

TS9 Turbo (same chip swap) Nice full sound different than 808

Barber Burn Unit- Older great sounding pedal...yes I swapped out the op-amp

King Of Tone- same thing has replaced old JRC opamps (2) Sounds so much better now.

So that is 4. (5 if you count the KOT x2). Too many?

Thanks.

naw, you're good.

[shooto]

what chip did you put in the Burn Unit?...what is the difference in sound from the stock chip?

thanks

The premise of the thread is an oxymoron.

4 is less than me, so not too many!

[cwcashiniv]

Is there such a thing as too many dirt pedals? Not on TGP!

I'm running 3 at the moment: Lunar Module Dlx, Eternity Burst, and Fetto Nord70.

[arthur rotfeld]

I'm cool with three. They do sound quite different from one another. Life is good!

(Liquid Lead, Supreaux, Zen)

4 seems waaaaay below TGP standards. jk

I have 5... Defiinitely don't need more.
It is possible to have too many... I did awhile back and purged some.
I'm pretty content right now, but 2 of those OD pedals are dual channel so yeah.

[mcdes]

Yup I have 5 so your a little on the low side...

[Mr Tickle]

i have 2 (hotcake, t1m pearl) but could have two more comfortably without much overlap.

I have 3 drives and 2 fuzzes on the board. They're all different and I use them all when I'm with the band. Stacking also opens up even more options for sounds.

Again I put an old JRC4558D in it. I did it a number of years ago so I cannot really remember other than it made it sound more like my amp than the pedal. I misplaced the old chip and would love to get a replacement to try out the original again. I recall it was pretty cool...

I am most always fine with one OD and a Fuzz. For my playing I have not needed any more than that, and sometimes I only use one or the other. Probably has to do with me just wanting to keep things simple. If I have too many choices I would probably have a brain cramp.
I certainly can understand though that some need the versatility of a lot of differing type drive tones, especially when doing covers.

4 is a nice number, also nice pedal choice
