    I retired my HX Stomp off my board after about 2 years and went back to all regular stomp pedals. Much happier now with just basic stomps. Only had to buy a basic reverb pedal to get things all the way right. I don't feel the need for anymore pedals. It all really just comes down to what you think you need and what you really need.

      Those old units are great, especially if you dial in the perfect sound.

      In fact, I sold one of my Avid Eleven Rack rack units and went back to my DigiTech 2112 SGS rack unit .... Those two 12ax7 tubes make the 2112 sound much better.

      I noticed that the newer rack and floor units are 80% more on the money to get the Classic Amp tones, where as older units, you have to start from scratch , IMO.

        Newer doesn't always mean more better...
        The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

            I have yet to try the newer Axe-Fx units, but I've seen a surprising amount of people using the now somewhat old-fashioned and clunky G-System alongside it, because the G does pristine effects so well. The last part I can attest to.

              The fact that when I saw the new Rat pedals in yellow and also red, and also the JHS pat rack -and I desire all 3 -despite having 5-6 original 80s and 90s Rats already means I need help.

              It's like my 90s drug addiction replaced.

                May take some getting used to, but has a tendency to get some great sounds and may even have the added benefit of improving your playing - assuming you practice a bit
                No matter how much you practice, there are sounds you just can't get with that.

                    I think it means you need a red, white, and yellow rat, to compare to the JHS....

                        Color saturation of the pedal might be an issue. The white perhaps more open, the red more warm, who knows what the yellow does?

                          Color is the most important factor in pedals.

                            And no matter how many pedals you buy, there will also be sounds you just can´t get with that.

                              I never said there weren't. weak argument is weak.

                                Yes, yours is.

                                Don´t like my original suggestion?

                                No problem. No one's forcing you (or anyone else) to follow it.
