Talk me out of buying this

[80's_Metal]

These pedals are insane!
I think they will scratch the itch that I have.

But at $250 each I'm not sure I can justify one for just a flavor..... Know what I mean?

You didn't need them yesterday, why would you need one tommorow?

Good tactic...

 

[Mincer]

I do like the idea of pedals that just makes all kinds of wretched noise, though! There is a guitar out there with momentary switches which either cause a loud hum (like a bad cord) or squealing microphonic feedback. Not all guitar sounds have to be beautiful.

I texted this to one of my old friends, he said you're worse than a girl with a shoe thang....

I told him good job, calling me a girl is also a good tactic.... I haven't bought one yet.

My other guitarist friend was no help whatsoever, he said to buy them both!

Nonsense, of all 3 advices so far this is the best deterrent, he IS your friend

See that would work on me, as I am a fan of girls.

Trust your Off Forum contacts, Bro! This is the last place you will find someone to talk you off the GAS ledge.

Sit on it awhile and think on it. Nothing worse than dropping $250 having it show up..."loving it". Then 4 mo later realizing you have sonething you havent touched since the day after the honeymoon.
Been there with $100 pedals let alone $250.

They always sound so cool in the marketing media

Then at the house you got a dozen things that do exactly that one trick you like

Yes... I've done this a few times.... And it's hard to offload expensive niche pedals!

Whew!

I would say that none of my tones are beautiful. Gross, sick and vile are kind of my aim...

I been looking for a pitch shifter with a momentary switch.... Found one on Amazon for $145 which is still expensive, but not AS .
I'll spend some more time looking around before I commit.

Why not get an HX One with all the weird sounds you want for the same price as one pedal?

Actually, an HX One (with an expression pedal) is capable of a lot of pretty sick stuff.

Those don't appear to have momentary switches though? Did I miss seeing that?

Sometimes its hard to offload anything without taking a big loss. Everyone sees used as used...not i used it once and its mint.
I bought a LP $2400 8mo later i didnt like it. After months on marketplace i took $1600 i gigged it twice....yea i coulda sat on it but needed money for apartment security.
