2010: Wheat from the chaff - Pedals you kept and pedals you flipped?

Sign in to disble this ad
Saw a similar thread on TGP and thought it would be interesting to explore here what pedals you bought in 2010, that you kept and pedals you bought, but for some reason didn't make the cut and flipped.

Also, if you care to... comment on why they didn't make the cut.

I'll start...

Bought and kept:

Iron Ether Oxide Fuzz
Wren and Cuff Tri Pie 70
Iron Ether Xerograph
Boss TU-3

Bought and flipped:

Catalinbread SFT (tone not for me)
Mad Professor Snow White Autowah (sold to fund xero)
Earthbound Audio Supercollider (too saturated and kinda got lost in the mix)
ELX Small Stone Nano (meh...)
Korg Pitch Black (wouldn't lock in when in tune)

I spent more money on pedals this year than I want to admit!!!!

I kept most of them but these made it onto my board

Source Audio Multiwave Distortion Pro
EHX MicroPog
Boss LS-2
Xotic Robotalk2
MXR Bass Octave Deluxe
Chunk Systems Brown Dog
Chunk Systems AgentOO Funk Mark2
Sansamp BDDI

Flipped
EHX Enigma (volume spikes, ended up buying 2 different compressors but didn't like how it sounded compressed!!)
EHX Microsynth (didn't cut through the mix at all!!!!)
Crowther Audio Prunes and Custard (Strange but cool pedal, no real use for it)

Kept for random noise board and some just cause I might use in the future
Demeter Compulator (Liked it but with no spiking issues no need)
Maxon CS9 pro (worked great but no real need)
Wounded Paw Battering Ram (great unit just not what I wanted)
Boss PS-3 (cool little digital phaser)
Pigtronix EP-2 (very cool big phaser with big wall wart)
Dunlop 105q (sounds good)
Planet Waves tuner (bought it used and it crapped out on me)
Boss TU-2 (will make it onto the board wqhen I finish rewiring everything)
EHX Stereo Memory Man With Hazeri!!!
Subdecay Prometheus (Great filter but not perfect for what I wanted it for)

Oh, no, it's definitely a Moog Ring Modulator. I'm just not certain it was purchased this year.

It's all just a blur
I think I tried out the following this past year:
MXR BOD
EHX Enigma
MXR Bass Auto Q
EHX BMS
I think those were this year, there may have been others as well.
What I've kept so far is the Line 6 M9.
