More...

Foxrox TZF - loved many of the sounds in this pedal but just don't have much use for a flanger...way too many knobs and overall complexity...I think Dave will be able to nail down the few sounds it does really well in a pedal that is much smaller with fewer knobs in the 2.0 version (hopefully)

MP LGW - great pedal, have the BJF version though and needed cash

Menatone Kar Krash (orig) - great pedal, but too many knobs for what it does. Have other ODs I like better

have been quite a few,,,most of which was to fund a guitar and a amp that has been much more rewarding than having too many pedals. :roll: :wink:

Yeah I recently sold a couple of large batches in purges...

I had been saving them for 'reference' to be able to compare but little else .....

and then I took all the overdrives and ran them thru the BJF 'gauntlet'

I found my favorite sound on the pedal and if a BJF pedal could cover the sound then it got liquidated ....

not many left needless to say :mrgreen: I saved some screamers and rats for reference and some special drives or one of a kinds.....

but mostly what I have now is BJFEs and oddball fuzzes the CAF doesnt cover ..... 8)

Hey Emjee,

How did you like the ? Flanger and the Meatball? How hard was it to dial it good sounds? Were there any sounds you could use a lot or was it limited to certain songs/situations?

Hey Donner, did you end up selling the Fetto Deluxe? If so I was wondering which distortions cover the same territory in your opinion? When I started playing the Cliffhanger yesterday I thought maybe it is time to let the Fetto go. :)

I've recently sold a Burst Eternity because I like my old one better (Roadhouse).

I sold a Zendrive 2 because I'm fine with the Zendrive.

I sold my Jetter GSR because I'm fine with the Zendrive.
