Pedals you never use but won't sell

lincolnblue

I have an early 90's Morley Wah which I have had since I was a kid. A few years ago I have a Crybaby and sold it as I decided I preferred the Morley. The Morley was bought for me so I kind of feel bad selling it. It has been sitting gathering dust for a long time so I decided to plug it in. 

I genuinely don't think I will ever use it but can't bring myself to sell it.

Anyone else have pedals like that?

I have most of the moogerfooger pedals. 
They come out once in a blue moon but I would never part with them

apart from the delay pedal. Thats always in use.

Zoom Ultra Fuzz

It was a present and it's too cool to sell, but I really don't use it at all now - although I possibly might again one day. Plus the LED is far too dim and it's a surface-mounted type which is hard to change.

I have 3 Blackstar valve pedals, 2 identical and one slightly different. They can be picked up dirt cheap as people hate their size and their odd power requirement but they sound amazing so I have one in use and 2 spares.

I have a Hotcake I very rarely use, but it was The Sound of my old originals band, so I'm keeping it for sentimental reasons. I'm sure I'll use it again in future when I want that sound.

And they sound incredible into a Bad Cat

I have an 80s/90s Arion distortion pedal in a plastic casing.  It's a horrific waspish sound but the stereo setting doesn't work so not worth selling.

It's okay as a higher gain overdrive if you turn the distortion to 0 and turn the guitar volume down a bit.  Will never go back on my board unless an OD pedal melts - just can't bring myself to throw it away.

I've got a wardrobe full of pedals I'll never sell.
Mainly cos I can't be arsed.

Only one: a mid-70s Roland AD-50 Double Beat Fuzz Wah that sounds immense. I regularly think about selling it to put some funds towards an amp, but I can't bring myself to do it. I probably need someone to just magically know about it and PM me an offer above £300.

Zakk Wylde Cry Baby,

I can't be arsed to set it up alongside my POD HD500X, and the built-in wah models on that do the job.

But god does it have the most amazing little sweet spot where it goes from a standard wah to a scream. Cumbersome, impractical, but amazing fun.

Boss CS-2  Have bought and sold 5 different ones over the years, so figured it's easier to hang on to it

in general I'm not using pedals at all. But I do have a couple I like, and I'm not thinking of selling. An analogman king of tone, a RAT whiteface reissue, several 80s boss pedals, like the CE-3, the DM-3 and the DS-1, a fulltone fulldrive.

Nothing special about them, but they just work nicely for me. So it's nice to have them around to mess around from time to time.

Boss OD-1. Usurped by a more house volume friendly OD-3.

True enough. I should try the Ricky through it with a hint of Deco. I'd bet that would be a good noise

Unlike guitars, I don't think there is a single pedal that I would not let go if I happened to come across something that I actually preferred.

Any excuse to post this!  I don't have the heart to use it, or sell it

A DOD FX80-B compressor. I've not used it for years but I know that if at any time I need a compressor it's a real good'n.

A Fender tone and volume pedal based on the original DeArmond unit of the 50s. Bought originally to use with a console steel guitar it can also sound good with regular guitar, e.g. Jim Sullivan's solo on The Crying Game. I can't remember the last time it was used but maybe someday.

Line6 Pod 2.  I won it in a raffle on this site and that fact alone means it won't get sold.

Boss dd20. 
Better sounds and functionality , from smaller packages now. 

It's battered and done so many gigs it's mad. Worth more in sentiment than it is to sell. 

Grumpyrocker

POD HD 500.

Because it sounds like shit, has awful routing, and no-one would want it.

I've got pedals that go on and off boards. Some were bought cheap that are now super expensive so I generally hoard them.
