A quick survey, because I'm positive I'm not the only one.
I have currently my 3rd H9 Max...as in for the third time I own just one, having bought and sold two before. I've also tried the H9 Core pairing thing a couple of times...changed my mind. I put the H9 on my sales thread... but I've done it before and regretted it. And now I'm rethinking AGAIN. By far, it is the pedal I've changed my mind so stupidly and so often about.
I suppose it stems really from not being sure how I'm really going to use it, and scrolling through options, making myself option-blind, wondering what I'm doing with one, but then thinking, "of course you can, it sounds great and can be almost any effect you want it to be." And so on.
Yes, with the H9's resale value (especially the Max) it's also a costly business, but overall this is not a source of frustration to me, it's just daft and first-world-problems and pretty funny and seemingly how GAS sometimes works. I think this stage is called "acceptance".
Just to reassure me that I'm not the only indecisive eejit on here, which pedal(s) have you bought and sold several times? And be honest about it. I've seen a number of repeat offenders on here...

Boss OS-2, about 5 I think...

Then you are the chosen one!
Or just sensible.
Full disclosure, i liked the MC6 so much that i imported them and now sell them on my website.
I will probably re-buy the Boss DF-2 and CS-2, plus the JHS Digitec S1024 Digital Delay rack.
I said maybe.....
You have to ask yourself why you have sold them (just money? something about the sounds? the UI?). Then you need to ask yourself why you're buying them again (presumably something in the H9 you can't get with other pedals?)
For me, I was repeating TFs because it was the most flexible & best sounding delay that would do stereo/parallel delays with maximum flexibility. I stopped worrying when the Echosystem arrived and did the same thing but even better.
Fulltone FD2, Boss DD3, KOT, suhr Kokomo boost...... the list goes on
're over drives I have a klon king of tone full drive 2 and a Friedman be. I'm always rotating and I've barely used the klon this year.I've used the f2fm once. Ive also got a fuzz factory, barely used it for 10 years. Not selling stops the cycle.
To marry the two ideas, I suggest you keep the h9 and buy something simple to use. I've got a dmm which is versatile and I work with my feet. Keeley does some multi pedals, etc.
- Strymon TImeline - bought one 3 times (and about to re-buy again)
- Eventide H9 - twice
- Strymon El Cap - 3 times
- Bearfoot Model H - twice
- M&S Chocolate biscuits - immeasurable
That said, I’d have absolutely no problem with owning another Fairfield Circuitry Meet Maude.
I sold most of my pedals a couple of years ago for financial reasons, and have since bought three of the ones I sold, if that counts ?

no intention of selling anything I have now unless I have to.
