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.

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.

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