I'm kind of glad I didn't splurge on too many guitar effects pedals back in the day. Behringer has cloned much of the BOSS line, now available at a fraction of the cost.
And if you're more of a bedroom musician, there's software that'll cover the majority of sounds, with a few oddball exceptions. That's why I mostly collect guitar pedals that aren't being made in software, or that I am too lazy to emulate by stringing multiple things together.

(Not to mention things like Axe-Fx, which while not cheap, can clone 100s of amps, cabinets, and pedals.)
