So what's on your board then?
I should probably slim mine down a bit but I can't help myself.
Boss TU-2 into
Line 6 FM-4 into
Digitech Whammy 4 into
Boss BF-2 into
Boss RV-5 into
Pro Co You Dirty Rat into
Marshall Drivemaster into
Boss DD-20 Giga delay into
Boss DS-1 into
Boss RC-20 XL.
I've also got a Fender Blender sitting on my floor but I've not had a chance to work it in yet. It's a tricky pedal to get a usable sound from.

Holy shit man, that's an impressive lineup. Waaay out of the budget of an amateur guitarist like me.
I get by with a borrowed example of one of these:

I've been building the board up for a few years now, usually buy a couple of things a year. I keep an eye on ebay for bargains too.

Such a frustrating pedal but it sounds amazing if you get it right

I have never really gotten into pedals that much. I have used a few of them and I never really liked the tone. If you get a nice tube amp, the distortion is usually pretty awesome by itself.
That being said, maybe I should try some of the others that are out there.

No need for anything else really. I do have a Boss chorus and an Ibanez TS-1 but again, no real need.

I should expand my sound with some pedals, but I don't play much that requires effects and I've learned to get the tones I like out of my Hot Rod Deluxe. I had a Boss Metal Zone for a while that was pretty sweet until I broke it. It'd be easy enough to fix but I'm not really missing it at the moment.
A buddy of mine plays through a Danelectro Fab Tone. It's....interesting. After a while it grew on us.

Can anyone tell me if this is any good?
I'm thinking of saving up for one. Keep in mind that my needs are amateur to semi professional.

I thought at first that this^ was something I got to play with, but now I'm not sure.
Looks spiffy though.
Multi effects pedals are fun!

I had the GT-6 for a while. It's decent I guess if you are recording or jamming by yourself, but thetones don't translate well in my opinion to playing live or with other people in general. They sound too processed for my tastes, and in my opinion they are probably the top of the line as far as multi effects boards go. I prefer individual pedals.

BUMP~!!!!
Ended up getting one of these:
More presets than I can possibly use, but is fully configurable manually. Going through the manual at the moment as I am very picky and need to fine tune just about everything.
I can definitely say that it's a huge step up from the Zoom G2.1 I was practicing on a while ago. The tones sound less processed and it doesn't take a nuclear scientist to figure out what is what.

This is the pedal I use currently. Distortion sucks, so I use amp distortion (always better anyway). I've had a few different multi-effects, but this is by far my favorite because each effect is separate and manually/immediately adjustable like a regular effects pedal.
I used this pedal to play in front of thousands of people (Christian concert of sorts). It has served me very well

I wish I could afford a Boss MFX man... priorities... 
The digitech ain't too bad too as it does allow one to change settings for each effect individually. Doing so during performance can be a pain though. On the plus side, each preset you make can have two amps, so if you want one to be clean and the other distorted, things are quite simple.

I got lucky man..I was actually given that pedal because the previous owner decided to move on to more expensive things (seperate effects etc.)

Haha, coincidence or what? I helped my very rich friend buy some axes (among which was a Kirk Hammett official replica ESP. mmmm...) and he showed his gratitude with one of these!
What a day that was! I got to play all those tasty axes and went home with one of these. Even the cab fare was paid for!

Yeah man...
I kinda changed my opinion about les paul styled guitars after that trip. The ESP Eclipse that he got is lighter than an LP, has a thinner neck (Both, things I like) yet has great tone and sustain. I SIMPLY MUST GET ONE!!!

That sounds snazzy.
My DREAM guitar fantasy type thing would be to get something made from the guy who made these
http://www.mansonguitars.co.uk/Muse%20gallery/index.htm
buuuut that's a little pricey.
One day I'd also like to own Fender Jag
I also have to go bass shopping..I don't usually play bass, but I've been wanting to hop onto some any kind project lately, so I tried out for bass/back up vox in some local band and got in, whooptydoo

Looks WICKED man! And is that a display below the bridge?
I'm thinking of custom ordering one of These .
The prices look awesome and the reviews on UG and Harmony central are all positive.
...and yes, Jags are AWESOME!

Ahh man, the images on the site you posted are blocked from my work. I'll check it later.
If you're referring to what I think you're referring to..it's actually a built in Kaoss Pad I believe..something that DJ's use (touch screen for weird effects, not sure what else):

Not pedal related, but I am getting a VOX AC30CC2 pretty soon. Glorious clean and crunch tones.

All, I use... amateur, yes, I know... but, it has a lot of variatian for such a small pedal.. I mainly play clean with minimum effects(basic distortion)I'm just rhythm in the band I'm in now I do want to get a decent overdrive though.
best part is, the rp50 has a tuner. Which is what gets the most use from me these days

AC30 is a beautiful amp. Was seriously thinking of getting one last year but opted for the Hot Rod Deluxe instead which I'm very happy with.
Recent purchases ...
Using it for vocal effects rather than putting it though my guitar.
Nice.
Cry baby, only got it last week. I haven't really been using it in the normal manner, just finding a point on it where I get a particular washed out sound I like and keeping it there.
Other stuff:
Love it, I wanted something with single coils because my tele has humbuckers. Great for feedback/noise. I've been playing the tailed bridge a lot on it.
Finally, my new favourite thing:
A kalimba. African instrument. Sounds gorgeous.

I just nutted. I don't think I'll ever play anything other than Fender. I know people swear by their Les Paul's but they sound too "muddy" for me.

If i'm not mistaken, they are for switching individual pickups on/ off and in/ out of phase. too much for me though.

Yeah, I've still got to figure out fully how to operate them. There's one that's hooked up to a capacitor which gives the treble circuit an extra bit of kick. It's handy for when you want to play a solo or something.
