Basically you're looking at the parted-out contents of the pedal board of a gigging guitar player. I don't play live anymore, and I haven't in probably five years, so I really don't need this stuff at all.
Note: All prices include shipping by whatever method is cheapest for me (usually DHL ground). If you want to specify some other carrier or you want express shipping, great, you can pay for it and I'll fly it by carrier pigeon if you so desire. Everything here is in sold "as-is." These pedals are the furthest thing from new in box I can think of. All of them have velcro on the bottom (used to attach to aforementioned pedal board) as well as the type of chips, nicks, and scratches you get when you've seen a couple of hundred gigs. They all work, and they all sound like they're supposed to. Nothing else is guaranteed.
You can reach me via PM here, on AIM as kkieratnl or via email at kalankier@gmail.com. Prices are pretty firm, but I may cut you a deal if you buy a bunch of stuff at once.
There are notes after the price list with some quick thoughts about each pedal.

Some notes:
Dunlop Crybaby 535 - This wah has a 6-position knob to tune the wah frequency to your liking, which lets you go from a higher pitched classic Crybaby sound into more Vox-like sounds. The boost is set by a pot on the bottom of the pedal, and controlled by a tap switch on the right side of the pedal. My favorite Wah overall, and I've owned quite a few. This one has had the on/off switch replaced with a beefier aftermarket one, because I tended to destroy the stock ones with my large, apelike feet.
ProCo Rat - This is what they now sell as the "Vintage Rat." It's probably the most used distortion pedal in history (maybe behind the original Tube Screamer), and it can go from a very subtle signal boost into some great rock and metal tones. Like a Tube Screamer, it's very musical in front of an amp. As a guy who's into seriously expensive amps and tube sound, this is my favorite distortion pedal of them all. I use these pedals on damn near everything, I can't think of a single song I've recorded with a distorted guitar part that doesn't have this in it somewhere. Also the cornerstone of my live solo tone.
Boss CE-3 Chorus - Great early period chorus sound, as heard everywhere in the 80s. It doesn't have the warm sort of flanged chorus sound you get from analog gear, more of a bright, shimmering sound. I used it mostly for clean jazz parts, but it sounds really good with a ton of distortion for sweeps and fast single note lines if you have clean technique. Sounds especially awesome if you run in stereo. I used to run half my stereo signal dry and half with the rest of my time-based effects, your mileage may vary.
Boss OC-2 Octave - As heard on "When Doves Cry" by Prince (the intro solo) and "Hey Hey, My My" by Neil Young (technically Neil uses a MuTron, but the sound is about the same). Makes for a really neat almost bass-synth sound on single note parts, and can really fatten up your low end. Also nice for pushing a tube amp way over the edge into complete meltdown as another gain stage.
Boss GE-7 Eq - It's a 7 band EQ. I mostly used it for a solo boost (I'm big into that whole "chain gain stages to make your amps cry" thing), but I'm sure you can figure out a few uses for this thing.
Boss OD-1 Overdrive - Like a Tube Screamer, but yellow. This is probably the best pedal Boss ever made (arguably tied with the DS-1), and considered by many to be the holy grail of pedals. This thing and a Marshall head are the cornerstones of a LOT of lead tones throughout rock history. Makes an awesome clean gain boost, and it can add some nice grit in front of an amp. I also used its distortion for doubling lightly overdriven parts a few times, it blends well with amp crunch. Due to the type of circuit used, the low end rolls off as the drive is increased, which (for me at least) helps keep things clear with high output pickups.
Boss DD-5 Digital Delay - Does all the stuff you'd expect from a Delay pedal, plus tap tempo, reverse effect (very cool), and stereo panning. I used this thing for all kinds of stuff, from slapback to neat reverse effects to playing Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell" at soundchecks. Great sound, easy to use, etc.
Boss PH-2 Super Phaser - Mostly known for showing up in funk guitar, but just turning it on and fiddling with it lets you make all sorts of neat sounds. I used it for fattening up single coil parts and doing a pretty reasonable Leslie speaker impression. Also fun for making strange noises in the middle of solos to freak out your singer.
Boss BF-2 Flanger - My usual Leslie impersonator. Also good for playing covers of early Van Halen songs or copping that 80s metal tone. In general it does the swirly thing very well. I've also recorded a lot of random stuff using this pedal in very subtle ways to thicken up everything from acoustic guitar to banjo. It's neat.
Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor - Rumored to suppress noise. I mostly used it as a switchable mute to tune loop, but it's handy for getting rid of pedal board hum in a pinch if you're playing some place with ****ty wiring. You can also use it for some neat on-off stutter effects if you're into that. Can be used to power other pedals, which I suggest you do since batteries are expensive as hell.
Boss PSM-5 Power Supply - Used as an effects loop switch for my gain stages and to run power lines to all the above crap along with the NS-2, thus saving me from going broke buying 9 volts. Very handy.
