...and the pedals you shall NEVER sell are:

Without doubt my xotic bb pre amp and RC booster.

Awesome dirt box and for me the best solo boost I have found

[Jaded]

Probably my Ibanez CCL Dual Chorus. CS-9 and FL-9 in one box, covers all my modulation needs and my Blue Box, no idea why I keep coming back to it but I love it's overly thick OTT gated fuzz (plus the octave is great for noise making). Really should try and get an old one, I've heard they're like a different animal.

[Pyroman]

My Full Tone OCD and MXR Carbon Copy are going nowhere!! The latter is exactly what I want in a delay.

I still want a Plimsoul, but that doesn't mean I'm giving up my OCD. ( or my MXR Custom Badass Modified OD either- I love that, too.)

I really like both my Boss Super Chorus, and my Phase 90, but I'm still looking at other options ( MXR analog Chorus tops that list)
I like a deep, slow to med speed chorus, and the Boss does that quite well- extra bonus- I got it used for half price AND in mint condition. Not a big fan of the "doubled" or rotary type chorus sounds...

I have no plans to sell either, but they don't quite make the "MUST keep" list.

Boss OD-1, the first pedal I ever bought. £22 in a shop in Chester when I was 14. Yes, there are better overdrives, but I've lived with it for so long I consider part of "my sound" now.

Oh yes- that reminds me that I'd have to keep my SD1 as well. I got that in 1981. It has always been there.
Thinking about that as part of 'my sound' I should add my Ibanez BC9 Bi-Mode Chorus that I bought in 82.
So that'd be Boss CS1, SD1, PN2, Arion DDS1 and SAD1 Ibanez BC9 and Electric Mistress. That's almost a board's worth.

Guess who doesn't play stripped-back blues, then?!

First pedal i bought TS9 1983/4 IIRCC. Bought with a grant from the Princes Trust £40.
Purely sentimental. Everything else is replaceable. Even moreso now that i have amps with built in effects. Unless i have a change of heart and think about joining a band i cant really see when i'll use any of my stand alone pedals anytime soon. Quite frustrating to be honest as time moves on but ive got a demanding wife and child and... soz i digress

WMD Geiger Counter - not actually on my board at the moment, but could never bear to part with it for the amount of fun I get from it. Having it on my board seriously changes the ratio of playing:tweaking so for now it is off

[daveyh]

I find I don't chop and change too much, I search for a sound and get what I need for that. So my board (Korg Pitchblack, Vox 847 wah, Fulltone Fulldrive, MXR '78 dist, Voodoo Labs trem, Guyatone micro delay, MXR Carbon Copy) does exactly what I want. I'll prolly get a Whammy and MXR analogue delay at some point but not in a hurry.

[fretmeister]

I bought mine in 1987. I really shouldn't have sold it. I may sulk now.

I got mine in 1986. Gift from my parents. I still have it. The switch is a little ropey now so I wouldn't use it live, but I use it at home a lot. I will be upset if it ever stops working.

Boss really should just re-issue it.

Other than that - my Digitech Bass Synth Wah. The most fun and inspiring pedal in the universe!

[flanging_fred]

I can't see myself getting rid of my Zoom Ultrafuzz any time soon. I also have a '60s WAL (Wellington Audio Labs) battery mic pre-amp which my dad gave me, it's pretty much a Rangemaster as far as I can tell. Sounds absolutley HUGE with a guitar through it. That's pretty much irreplacable.
