Excessive pedalboard set-ups

Pedalboards. You can love ’em or hate ’em (if you hate them though, there might be something wrong with you). One thing’s for sure – they’re here to stay. Why? Pedals are kind of like matchbox cars for guitarists – small, collectible and oh so easy to become addicted to.

When you start touring the world and making bank as a full-time rock star, it only makes sense for your collection to get a little out of hand. Here are some of the best pedalboards that went a little too far.
