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

Boss really should just re-issue it.

I believe they have a policy of never reissuing anything (odd given that guitarists buy vast amounts of reissued gear). If your CE 2 ever breaks, Pedalmods do a repair and modding service. I bought mine (to replace my long since sold original) already modded by them. It has greater range on both the rate & depth controls, but still sounds like (an admittedly more versatile) old one.

As m'board is now at an acme of such a high level of geeky research and trial and error, I'd be loathed to get rid of any tbh...but no fucker is getting my Boss Space Echo or big box EHX Micro Synth, so nerr...

[longtallronnie]

Double Hotcake: Awesome, rarely for sale secondhand and couldn't afford a new one if I got rid.

Zvex Distortron: Just sounds brilliant with every amp I've put it through. Plus the predictive text on my phone writes "Distortron" by default instead of "distortion"!

Interesting, I tend to use mine more as a creamy lead sound, it's really lovely on the neck pickup.

Great pedal!

Mainly use mine as a solo boost after the Distortron but have been experimenting with using it as my main drive sound lately. Through my old AC30 it was amazing but not tried it through the Ulbrick yet. Gig tonight though so we'll see!

Strymon El Cap...best delay ever.
Analogman KOT...for the grief it took to get one...anyone remember that saga?
Budwah...v1 of course.
Turbo Tuner!
ZVex Box of Metal...because no one wants to buy it

MXR Dist3
MXR Phase 90(script logo)
MXR Microchorus
Boss DD-6 delay
Crybaby

And my Moen GEC-9 switcher..........

[meltedbuzzbox]

I dont know if anything is safe. I like all my pedals at present but over the years the only one I have ever kept till this day is the Marshall Jackhammer

Saying that I have just landed a shredmaster and I am looking at the Jackhammer like an unloved ginger step child.

Love my Ibanez Super Chorus soundtank. If the plastic lasts long enough it might be a never sell pedal.

I have a few old japanese Boss pedals that i cant imagine selling like the VB-2, CE-2, DF-2 and TW-2. I also have a Deja Vibe2 with a rocker pedal that runs off 230V that i like a lot.
But the one thing i will definitely never ever sell is my Maestro Groupmaster Echoplex. I run everything through it.

[HeartfeltDawn]

Tim
Rat 2 (I'd sell my Rat but not the Rat 2)
Diamond compressor
Boss CE-2B
Marshall BB clone
Pearl analog delay (had it recapped by Owen Electronics, sounds utterly fabulous now)

[citizen68]

I've had an old Italian Jen crybaby and Boss CE2 and CS2 from mid 80's so those are sentimental value and going nowhere. Still all used regularly.
More recent acquisitions which I'm pretty sure will be keepers are a Rat2, Zen drive and a Fulltone Mini Deja vibe..

[Sir Axeman]

Dano TOD MKI....staying on my board forever. One of the cheapest pedals on my board..yet one of the very best.
