pedals you keep trying.

Teetonetal

Till now, the only pedal I've bought twice is a whammy. Had version 4, stupid psu so bought 5 as it made sense.

But I keep being drawn to the ehx 1100tt and the Chase bliss wv2. I moved them on for various non financial reasons but I constantly keep looking at them thinking they really out to be what I want... same with the clusterflux. 

I know a few on here have bought and sold the same pedals more than once but does it ever work out?

Anyone else got this rather odd mental block?

For me it generally goes in a cycle that I'll sell some gear thinking I'm not playing anything that suits it and then end up playing with a band that it would be perfect for.

Multi FX were the ones I kept trying.  I reckon a half dozen at least.
On the one hand, they make so much sense.
On the other, I don't seem to get on with them. 
It's not the sounds so much as the fiddling.  I think it boils down to the multi-functions of the knobs and buttons.  I can't seem to work with them quickly enough live to make adjustments; I can't seem to remember presets quickly enough live to use them. 
It makes me feel a bit of a Neanderthal but when I've got a single function stomp box and a knob labelled "Fuzz" and another labelled "Volume" I know exactly what I'm doing, and that makes me feel comfortable and happy.

There is too much stuff for me to go back and try again with anything

I'm on my second Carbon Copy. It's not quite what I want it to be but it somehow should be.

@Grunfeld that makes a lot of sense to me. Helix is the first mfx with a decent interface and that makes it so much easier to use.  

For a board I seem to prefer single function pedals. So set and forget. 

Lots of stomps are now mini mfx.

I have bought my fair share of OD/distortion over the years. Nothing beats a two-channel amp though to be honest.

I bought dozens of clean boosts over the years before I decided they all sound fairly similar apart from the SHO and the Firebottle. EP's not bad either.

For me it's the zoom CD-R 70. It's a great tool. But so,show think a m5 would do me better

I only found out yesterday they have internal trim pots for the modulation

I've had 3 Micro POGs. I love the sound they make but I just can't seem to use it in a band.

RAT variations - have tried about six or seven the last few months and they sound pretty good, I think I'm coming to the realisation that the RAT sound is not for me. This will change in a month or two obviously.
