I remember looking at live pics of Randy Rhodes and thinking his was pretty big, especially for back in the day.

The biggest pedal pimps have to be Edge and Petrucci.

By big pedalboards do you mean all pedal pedalboards, or huge rack rigs with big control switching systems?

I always thought Joe had a big "pedals" pedalboard

Vernon Reid. The last time I saw him, about three years back I guess, he had two boards like the one in the picture: http://www.google.nl/imgres?imgurl=http ... mUOtWa1LAD

Tim Mahoney from 311 has a massive board. This sucker built by LA Sound Design is 42x23...and it has a smaller board that hooks to it (can't find pics of that)

 

[snakeman1986]

Mike einziger from incubus.

John Frusciante

By the Way tour (2002);

Stadium Arcana tour (2006);

 

[rlord1974]

Joe Perry, but it looks like it was cobbled together with some spare wood and indoor/outdoor carpeting......

Mike Ness

AH pedals, i just love pedals. Soooo much better than stepping on a MIDI switch and having everything synthetically done for you.

 

[Digital Jams]

Mike Ness

Ness is the shit.


Big Pedal board?

Lou Reed.

[wIsEbLooD]

korn used a ton of pedals

 

[Ventura]

John Frusciante

By the Way tour (2002);

Stadium Arcana tour (2006);

Glad I read through this thread first because this is the only person that I was thinking about while reading all the other posts. Edge has got a mega machine of effects behind him, but not so much stomp related as 'computer' related, I believe. Whereas John F. has got STOMPS!!
