Pedals you'd (almost) never sell

[bassbrad]

You know those pedals you bought maybe more than once that you plan to never sell. For me it's a short list:

Boss OC2- nothing else quite like that sound and tracking
Ibanez CS9- my favorite chorus of all time
Electronix Submarine- perfect clean tone
Boss GE7B- the EQ for my fretless tone

Roland CE-1 Chorus Ensemble - Bought it new in the 70's, a classic
Boss DM3 Delay - Bought new in the 80's, never needed to upgrade
TECH21's BDDI and VT Series - I wish I had these in the 70's and 80's

All of mine! Seriously every pedal I have I could not foresee them leaving and for once on a LONG time I have no GAS!

 

[Exploiter8]

You have no GAS because YOU have a Red Ripper!

Congrats!

As much as I love dirt, my Demeter Compulator is one pedal I'll never sell, along with my Green Stache (1st pedal I built).

This thread again, eh ? OK...

I don't sell pedals, 'cause I usually end up regretting it a few weeks after making the exchange. The only one I've gotten rid of without blinking is the MXR BOD.

The only one (not counting tuner, line selector and noise suppressor, which are not effects but still very useful) I don't see myself selling in any future is my SansAmp PBDDI. God help me, they'll incinerate it with me.

So far I can say I will not get rid of Tech21 VT-Bass. Carl Martin Opto Comp and Boss LMB-3 also will stay for long. The rest can go...

EBS Valve Drive. Every time I'm forced to play without it, I miss it. I cant say that about any other pedal...

 

[jwr]

I have no loyalty...so pretty much I'd sell everything for the right reason.

Digitech Bad Monkey. Technically, I have sold this pedal three times but I keep getting another one. As soon as I sold my Line 6 head with built in effects the Bad Monkey was the first and so far only pedal I purchased. It is IMO the perfect boost/warm overdrive pedal.

 

[CopperheadLXXIX]

Eventide Space. If you can't find a reverb sound you want in that pedal, you probably don't want reverb, and I love reverb so I can't see any reason to part with it unless Eventide comes out with an even more awesome floor unit.

And probably my SFX Dual Red Dragon Pre as it was built for little old me.

 

[DennyOnBass]

Pretty much my whole pedalboard:

Radial Bassbone
Sonic Research Turbo Tuner
MXR Bass Octave Deluxe
Wren & Cuff Phat Phuk B
MXR Bass Envelope Filter
TC Nova Dynamics Compressor

Except for my VT Bass, which I have somewhat of a love/hate relationship with. I'd probably exchange it for something in a smaller format that did the same basic thing with some refinements. Thinking about checking out the SFT soon.

Musitronics MutronIII

I don't use it anymore (programmed one on my VB99 that sounds better) but I'll never sell it.
Well maybe if in 20 years I can get a stupidly high price....

 

[M Sterling]

I would say my Iron Ether Xerograph deluxe. IMO it is the perfect filter and is too versatile to do without. I would second sillyfabe on the OC2 (i have 2) as well. And I doubt I'll ever find anything to kick my Markbass Compressore off either.

Bluebeard - Killer, killer, killer fuzz.

Submarine, if I ever get it from Os. I'll see after the latest disappearance ends.

Boss BE-5B. I've owned three over the last twenty years, and they sound great.

Ibanez CP-9 Compressor. This was my "funk" pedal, got stepped on when it was time to get my slap on. Now when it's bypassed, there's no signal, so it acts like a mute. Couldn't sell it if I wanted to now, for no more than I'd get with it being broken.
