Great synths, Pekka! I've always been partial to the old Yamaha CS lineup. Unfortunately, I'm not anywhere near coordinated enough to even begin to contemplate pedals of any sort
I'm very much into old electronic and electromechanical instruments and effects, and enjoy repairing/restoring that stuff as a hobby. I've been fortunate to own quite a few synths and vintage keys by doing the buy-low/repair/try/sell-high thing for many years. The dust is starting to settle, and I'm currently left with a Solina String Synth (landed this for free!), Oberheim OB-8 polyphonic, Oberheim FVS four voice w/sequencer, Hammond M-102 and Leslie 145 w/147 amp, Hammond M-3 (I'm wanting to liberate this one - free to any LBO'ers close to the Phoenix-area! Bring friends and a hernia belt
), Sequential Circuits Pro-One (had this since I was a kid- bought cheap during the great DX7 sell-a-thon of the mid-1980s), '74 Minimoog, Rhodes MkII, a large Moog-format modular, several old Roland guitar synth systems (G-505 and 808 guitars, GR-100, GR-300, and GR-700 synths), and a few nice (IMO) digitals - Ensoniq EPS, Casio CZ-5000, and a Waldorf Q.
The majority of these were bought in various states of disrepair. Still need to tackle a couple of them - the Rhodes action is horrible, and the Waldorf has the somewhat common jumpy-encoder problem (akin to dirty pots, but in the digital world). The Roland GR-700 needs some service as well (LOVE the sound of that one, though - and it has digital oscillators. No digital bigotry here
)
Here are some pics...
Sequential Pro-one, Yamaha CS-40M, Obie OB-8, and a Multimoog on the floor:

This is probably the only one I miss- Korg X-911 Guitar Synth:
Minimoog, with one of my handmade "ribbon controllers":

Oberheim Four Voice, pre-restoration
...during restoration- ack!
...and post-restoration with original sequencer (and noise, sample/hold source) interfaced in:
Roland systems:
Moog-format modular. This one has filled out a bit since this pic. Currently has 7 oscillators, 7 filters, 7 attenuators, 3 envelope generators, 4 sequencers, 4 quantizers, noise, sample/hold, wavefolder, distortion/clipper, ring modulator, analog delay, dual phaser, frequency shifter, triple chorus, and some other misc logic and signal processing things. Still have a bunch of stuff left to build for this one- EMS Synthi oscillator clones, Korg PS-3100 resonator clone, Buchla low pass gates and quad function generator clones...
So yeah... I guess a synth fan
