How many pedals do you own and how much do you play?

I have about 12 pedals. I play 2-10 hours a week at home?

For 90s grungy alt rock I like a faux three channel amp setup,
I have an a/b loop switcher and use a overdrive, distortion, and a fuzz, to have two of those to switch between with one stomp. That's 4 pedals right there.

Usually add stuff like a little delay, a little chorus. I want to get a phaser maybe, and possibly a wah.

Other music i play is dabbing in ambient and shoegaze where there's a lot of layering delays, reverbs, modulations, and distortions or fuzz for interesting textures and walls of sound. With these styles it's easy to want to build a mothership board of talent boosters I mean... texture palettes.
I like when I get comments from non guitar people like "that was awesome, I've never heard a guitar sound like that!" Or 'cool how did you do that, you can't tell it's a guitar anymore!'.

For a lot of still further more stuff, can get away with just an overdrive pedal, or just a tuner, so I see all sides of it
 
96 pedal at the moment , just updated my XL with the list, currently selling 18

I play 20 pedals at the moment in 3 different board, average 1 hour a day
 
I sold all my pedals a few years back when I went multi. For most purposes I use either a TC G-System or a Line 6 HX Effects. I still have exactly three pedals: A Boss SD-1, my choice for pushing a classic amp, a Boss DC-2W, which still cannot really be modelled by anything that I have seen, and a DOD 250 to thicken up single-coil tones to work alongside my humbucker guitars. Actually, I have two DC-2Ws, just in case Boss stops producing them. I might even convince myself to get more of them.

(I am not counting buffers, which I own a few of, as they are in no way pedal-shaped.)
 
A lot and a lot. Keep in mind that I have had my Morley and others since I was 17 years old, so I have had decades to acquire them.Being in three bands and having private lessons I have a guitar in my hands at all times.

Lucky Dog !!!!

For practicing at home I am currently using a mooer ge200. No need to use an amp with the headphones plugged in. I try to play up to 45 minutes per day in average . Someday I play more than one hour, someday I am not able to touch the guitar due to family stuff or extra time at work. For the live session with the band I have a pedalboard with 8 pedals
Dunlop cry baby
Mxr gt-od
Mxr badass distortion
Tc electronic mini spark
Mxr phase 90
Tc electronic flashback 2
Tc electronic hall of fame
Boss tuner
In that specific order. All of them driven by a Gec9. Plus a caline big orange sometimes I swap with the gt-od.
 
I own a bunch, but they're almost all set up on my board in my rehearsal space. At home I only use an EQ and occasionally compressor (my home amp has reverb and boost built into it, to be fair). But option paralysis is definitely a thing. I suffered from that a bit when I used only modeling software at home, until I realised that Bias sounds like absolute dogsh*t no matter how I tweak it. Then I gave up and bought another tube amp instead.
 
After years of owning various pedals and just messing around, I finally bought an actual pedal board. So now having everything organized and ready to go with the flip of a switch, I find myself having a lot more fun these days, and actually playing a whole lot more. I should've done this years ago!
 
I counted 27, of which I currently use 3 (Tuner, Dirt & Wah) I play about 4-16 hours/week, depending upon the band’s schedule. I don’t really practice at home much unless I’m learning new material.

Some are spares, a lot are left over from previous gigs.

I hold onto a few staples I keep as a reminder, just so I would stop buying/selling/ the same pedal over and over again thinking they’ll somehow be better this time (Muff, Rat, Fuzzface).
