Re: How many different Dist/OD pedals do you have on your board?
I have two boards. My main board has an Analogman King of Tone for OD, a Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret for low/med gain, a T-Rex Dr Swamp for med/high gain and a Fuzzhugger Algal Bloom for fuzz.
My other board has all the boss and misc crap I've accumulated over the years.

Visual Sound Jekyl & Hyde
Boss Super OD
Boss Power Stack
Boss Blues Driver
EHX Big Muff
RWS fuzz

Re: How many different Dist/OD pedals do you have on your board?
In the past I've generally used 2 or 3 OD pedals of varying types on my boards but since getting my Splawn I've taken all the boards down and still own alot of OD pedals but I now don't use any ODs live at at all.
It's been quite weird going from a large board with 15+ pedals on it to something that's now only a wah, tuner, MIDI controller and a boost (for when switching from a humbucker equipped guitar to a single coil guitar).

Oh wait, I was wrong. It's seven. I forgot the Boss DS-1. It may be modded; I can't recall now how I've got it set up. I know it's socketed for modding, but I may have the stock diode in.

It's not bad, I did a demo and quick review of it here..
https://forum.seymourduncan.com/showthread.php?t=204247&highlight=rockbox+boiling+point
I found it a bit glassy and not quite up to the quality of the Landgraffs, but it was very cool with the bridge pickup (SSL-5) of my Strat.

Re: How many different Dist/OD pedals do you have on your board?
I really use 2. But I use 2 amps, so one for each. I have a TS9 going into my bogner and I use it more like a clean boost with the gain all the way down. I like to kick it in when i want just a bit of gain. Then of course I have the OD channel on the Shiva also.
My other amp is a komet. I like to keep the amp fairly clean as it breaks up beautifully with the volume all the way up. I have a TS808 on Steroids that Xssive made for me. Bothe of these signal chains come together to an A/B/Y so I can switch between them. Its a great setup.

Two. A modified Metal Zone and a Keeley Boss Blues Driver.
I've done some heavy mods to the Metal Zone and I'm using it, believe it or not, as a clean-ish boost. Modded, it's good as a distortion pedal but now it excels at this.
I'll try and record some clips of this because it's uncanny to see a box used by Dimebag fans to try to get his sound being used at this.
It lifts the Strat signal for matching volumes with my other guitars, and with humbuckers it gets in the Tubescreamer ballpark, smooth and round OD, so I'm feeding the Keeley with it.
Takes the Keeley from it's AC/DC realm and sends it straight into the 90s.
Having all sorts of fun just with these two.
Now I just need a really modern, distorted sound from another box and I'll be set.

Dunlop handwired Jimi Hendrix Fuzzface, T Rex Mudhoney, Way Huge Green Rhino, and Klon Centaur.
I like all 4, but there's so little said online about the Mudhoney, yet it's such a cool pedal. It literally lives up to it's description Mud and Honey....thick sweet sustaining river of gain. On an amp with gain, it's thick endless sustain. On a clean amp, it sounds like you turned everything to 10 and the amp is ready to explode. It's unique, and I saw that T Rex has now introduced the Mudhoney II.
Also, I have those $30 Guitar Center special MXR's...The Classic Overdrive and Zakk Wylde OD. I actually mounted them on a small black plywood mini board with a power supply. Like something I could bring with a guitar to a jam. They'll do the job to push the front end of any amp since they both sound a little different. Both are the best $30 I've spent.

Re: How many different Dist/OD pedals do you have on your board?
I don't have a board but I like to have some around.
For fuzz/over the top sounds I have a Lovetone Big Cheese-esque pedal handmade by a local guy. It gives me everything up to Dopethrone from EW. I also have a TC Electronic Vintage Distortion which is the T-Rex Mudhoney actually, the one GJ already spoke of well. I also have a Roger Mayer Mongoose Fuzz when I'm in for more sputtery stuff.
I also have a HBE Paradrive I use for od from clean boost to tubescreamer like to a little Neil Yung type drive. The first mode of the TC is also good for od sounds but I prefer it set for heavier which is its specialty.

Re: How many different Dist/OD pedals do you have on your board?
I am still composing my pedalboard (after all who is not
, it seems always a work in progress with most people).
At this time, if we do not count Fuzz pedals, I got the following on my board(OD/Dist):
- Vintage Marshall BluesBreaker Clone (GeneralGuitarGadgets=GGG)
- ITS8 (GGG's TS808 clone, with "expensive boutique" mods and clipping selector)
- DOD YJM308 (modded to "Analog Man" specs with input cap selector switch to go between YJM308 and DOD250)
- Eagletone Hell Dude (great metal distortion imho with great options!)
- Eagletone LeadSled (12AX7 driven OD/light distortion)
I guess that brings the number at 5...
Don't know if the DOD YJM308 will stay on the board, more excessive testing needs to bring that to light
I am also planning to build a couple of new pedals this year, so there could be some newcommers as well haha

Re: How many different Dist/OD pedals do you have on your board?
After doing some searching, a lot of listening through my stereo(the Klipsch's really make a difference!), and moonman constantly shoving new pedals at me through links, I've decided that every monkey with an iron and screwdriver is making pedals these days!
In all seriousness though, there are some really killer pedals out there these days for not a lot of money. Which is awesome, but it makes choosing that much more difficult!
As time progresses, I'll probably end up in the same school of thought as the guys that are running 2 separate boards. It's really going to boil down to what sounds good with what amps.
The Plexitone is still a definite for me. I had Neils' prototype, and like a jack wagon, I sold it to a forum bro cuz I was hard up for cash. The name on that pedal is really deceiving, it does do a good Marshall tone, but the boost and how it works along with your amp is, to me, really great. The MXR Distortion+ will still find it's way on to any of my boards. I'm a huge Rhoads fan, I have to have one.
The MXR Distortion III also sounds really good to me, as well as the EH Micro Metal Muff for heavy gain. I think those 2 will probably trump out the Jemini. There's a lot more versatility between the 2 of them than the Jemini for less money.
There's still a ton more out there to go through too! I've spent hours on Proguitarshop.com!
Same goes for Wah's and Fuzz's. Lots of good options out there. For reverb, delay, etc..., I don't use a lot of that stuff, so I'll probably try to find a decent all in one package. The line6 M9 looks promising in that department.
The one thing I don't is something that I'm going to spend more time tweaking than playing. Modeling and processors have come a long way in the last few years and are cool for someone that's wanting a lot of "variety" without the heavy price tag, but I'm just not into it anymore.

Re: How many different Dist/OD pedals do you have on your board?
I am down to 2, the Boss HM2 and my MXR Classic OD, I will be purchasing an 8 bit fuzz box soon and that will be all the dirt I need.....
I used to have a dirt only pedal board when I was doing my old doom metal project; Les Paul - Dirt Board - 50 wtt bassman with a Mesa 2x12.......
