Pedals you regret getting rid of? (self.guitarpedals)

Ok let’s do a classic here. What pedals do you most regret getting rid of or selling and why?

For me:

  • Catalinbread Echorec. I love multi tap delays and while I was able to get close to emulating this on my DD-500 it’s just not the same. The way the delays blend into each other and create this wash of reverb is sublime. Probably going to buy it again soon.
  • Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion. It wasn’t that different from my DS-1 but damn I wish I still had it. Whenever I play my DS-1 now it’s just too harsh.

I miss the t-Rex mudhoney I borrowed my “friend”. I should pick up another one.

I miss my EHX Russian Muff.

I had the black one a long time ago. I don’t regret getting rid of it because it had no power input and the jacks were reversed but man did that thing tear.

I took apart a Boss DS-1 for an electronics project I did in school 20 years ago. I know they are easily obtainable but I'd really like it back!

As a high school bozo I took a terrible trade-in value for a Zoom 9000 back in like '93 or '94. I think I got an Ibanez Sound Tank Tube Screamer. Looking at these listings it seems the market values are pretty close, but I had actually gigged with the Zoom and it was fine, and to lose so many other effects I didn't otherwise have at the time (and it had headphone out so I could practice late) was foolish.

Do you stack the DS-1? After watching the TPS episode on it I started setting my amp on the dirty channel, even just at edge of breakup, and that really did make a difference.

I don't regret getting rid of any pedal I've sold.

-Boss RC1 looper - noisy as hell - just played havok with the whole rig.

-Boss PW-10 wah - bought out of the blue for me by my dad. I've never been in to wah and this thing always confused me.

-Zoom 505 and 606 multi FX pedals - I hated these things

-Line 6 POD 2.0 - when I got it at first it was a revelation and I loved it. But then it turned out I just needed a half decent amp, after which it just lost all mojo.-

Boss DC3 Digital Dimension. I havent found a chorus yet that did what it does. I bought it for $120, sold it for $150 when I needed some money, and now I'm looking at TWICE that if I want to get another one.

I also used to own a Les Lius clone built by Mark Hammer. I bought it off of the man himself at a guitar show, and had no idea who he was. He was jus this really cool dude in overalls with a table full of pedals for really reasonable prices. I ended up selling it when I bought a Mesa/Boogie MkIII as it had all the gain I could use.

I still have an envelope filter and Harmonic Energizer clone made by him, but should have held onto that Les Lius clone one too.
