You know you have a pedal problem...

[TMD]

You know you have a pedal problem when...

...you sell off most of your collection and built it back up again within a year.

...buying a pedal every month or so is built into your cash flow.

...you own pedals that are clones of other pedals that you also own.

why did you sell off your collection?

[TMD]

why did you sell off your collection?

Paranoia. I thought I was going to have to free up a bunch of cash.

[jeremy]

bummer. how many of the same pedals you sold did you buy again?

[TMD]

Four so far. One of those was a version upgrade.

You sold me on the problem right here.

[TMD]

YOU sold the problem. YOU did. YOU.

[Aceman]

The problem is that you sold pedals in the first place...YOU did. I don't sell pedals. Don't even know how to do that?!?!?!?! Is that a thing? Is it an options?

[TMD]

I wasn’t feeling well. The good news is that I have a lot fewer duplicates and curiosities now. What I have now meets my needs a lot better.

I sold off all my pedals, adapters, pedalboards, patch cables, daisy chains. All of it. Kept my guitars and amps. That was after I left a band I had been in for years. Was taking a break and needed to raise cash to pay off some debt. If I didn’t need it, it got sold. I kept the pedals I made as they have no value anyway. Since I joined my current band I’ve bought 2 pedals and a Fly Rig 5. And got a few others last year.

Stripped down to fighting weight, I’m at 29 pedals on my rebound curve.

[PFDarkside]

You got all the good stuff again?

I can’t believe I peaked out at over 125, ridiculous.

[TMD]

Yikes! Is this a new goal for the pig?

[PFDarkside]

No, so many were sitting around not doing anything. I sold a bunch and bought some guitars and amps that I play now.

[TMD]

I love pedals! Pedals are the greatest. My never-played number is 5.
