I must apologise to Luke W, as only by looking closely have I finally realised that his avatar is actually a clever design using his initials Luke Wood Audio, and not (as I've mistakenly thought for ages) a pair of trousers.

The best way to solve the unused pedal conundrum is to buy something new to go on the other end of the cable :lol:

You're not the first to think it! I myself can't unsee it after my friend kindly drew the rest of the body on for me...

Bad BillB!

Oh, you were thinking of a proper museum. I thought you just meant a collection of gear which is often admired and occasionally played with. I already have one of those and your processors might have fitted right in...

True sods law style, recorded three tracks yesterday with a pedal I was on the verge of selling, fantastic.

Ah, sorry, I see you have entirely appropriate intentions.

Sounds almost heroic when you put it like that :thumbup:

Oh, I can talk myself into any old nonsense. Luckily I have several representatives in the real world who can tell me to wise up from time to time.

Keep up the good work.

These days I only every use what I would call "traditional" effects pedals, I’ve got a few "trendy" ones, that claim to do all sorts of magical mojo, and have great paint jobs, but I’m still left with a blank expression on my face.
I find these types of pedals, the sounds are easily got with other things, and my mixer, these days my pedals are reverb, delay, a looper, distortion, plus my trusty old Boss effects box.
I'm selling a few pedals, no point in having them just sitting there, also I’m finding oedals are taking up so much desk space, it’s unmanageable.

What happened to 'You can't have too many'? And in less than the space of a month?!

And what did you buy between then and now that's tipped the balance?
