How Many Times?!

MtB

Have you revisited a fx pedal that you've owned before?

I've just been looking back through my history on this place, the old MusicRadar forum and ebay - apparently I've owned and sold Dr Scientist - The Elements 4 times. FOUR TIMES! Between 2012 and 2018


wtf !

I'm on my third Electro Harmonix double muff I think and I still don't like it much

I am on my third Mooer Tender Octaver MK1, but one of those was due to a fault.

Carbon Copy 3x
Lovepedal HPTT 2x sounded brilliant first time round, 2nd one played for about 10mins then put it up on eBay same day

Zvex fuzz factory - must have brought and sold one of those 3 or 4 times

Never got it to sound good

Been round in circles more times than I care to count. Usually it's triggered by a new guitar/bass or amp. Think to myself 'I wonder what X sounds like with this'. And usually it sounds the same as every other time ie. not what I'm hoping for. Recently set myself a new record - sold and repurchased the same pedal inside of eight weeks.

I've never sold anything and gone back and got the same pedal again. 
There's just too much choice

Two.

The moogerfooger Clusterflux and Boss PS3.
Still got both, won't be selling again.

I've owned a Timefactor 3 times. They're brilliant, and for me, much better than the Timeline. The Echosystem has firmly displaced it though. I can't imagine ever needing anything else unless Empress do one with a screen so I can remember how to work the bloody thing! 

I've had 3 Whammys too - 1 IV and 2 Vs. And Rats, though I don't tend to sell those, just accumulate them in different flavours.

I think that's about it.

Whammy 5 twice. Sold the first one and bought a Ricochet thinking I could make do to save space. I could not. 

Also oddly, a Dunlop DVP3 expression. Again for space saving I sold one and bought a Bloomery. Turns out I prefer the Dunlop.

Rat2 - I’ve owned 11 of them over the last 10 years

Digitech Obscura four times - pretty sure I won't be going back any time soon but it's an outstanding pedal.

Have owned the ProCo RAT three times - don't have it any more but have a cheap clone called the Eno Myomorphia worth about twenty quid just in case I feel like giving it a shot.

Have owned all the below twice:
Boss DD-7
Boss PS-3
Amptweaker Fat Metal
Way Huge Green Rhino

None 

I have some pedals that I will never sell but rarely use. I cannot see the point in buying/selling/repeat. 

Fuzz Factory-bought in 2000, 
Fulldrive 2 bought in 2001
Robotalk bought in 2006
KOT v2 bought in 2006

Here are a couple I should have hung on to:

Ive owned 3 timelines and 3 timefactors. Now i have a DIgitech hardwire delay and a helix. Sorted!

Not strictly a pedal, but a Boss ME-50 four times - technically only three units because one was the same one I bought back. I now know for sure it's a keeper.

Boss OS-2 about four or five times - I now know for sure why some of them sound different (it's the pots!), but also that it probably isn't a keeper in the long term.

Boss DD-2... maybe three or four, I can't remember for sure. Still the best-sounding delay, but others are more flexible and sound *nearly* as good.

I sold a whole load of pedals a few years ago as I wanted to have some funds in case of emergency.

I have re-acquired most of the ones I sold in the last year, and a couple of them (Bitquest and Count To 5) I now have two

The only two I haven't replaced yet that I would like are the Subdecay Quantum Starlight Flanger V1 and the Idiotbox Mad Doctor Stutter.

Line 6 M5, 9, 13s

I've had them all, a couple of times each. (I've also been through the Zoom versions)

I'm even looking at an M5 now -- plugged in once only.

In theory -- everything I need.

In reality -- I just like stomp boxes.

I should sell this M5

EHX Small Stone twice, Devi Ever 90 twice. Went through a few phasers to realise the small stone is great and has all the flexibility I need in an effect that I only use on a few songs, the Devi Ever 90 is just really fun.

Bought and sold a TC SCF twice
