I mean, if you know that you are careless and end up literally walking over your pedal board. A backup of whatever tends to break the worst when it gets stepped on any other way than it's switch being stomped wouldn't be a bad idea.

I must say, the rate at which new pedals are coming out these days, it takes tremendous willpower not to buy new pedals. I'm GASing for an EHX Worm ...

I don't think the Ct5 will go out of production soon. I think it will go out like most of his pedals when he gets to the next one, but I think there is such a huge supply out there now with everyone that bought them with the intention to flip them instead of use them.

Which would be this month.... He's continuing CT5 production while he does the 856 for ZELLERSASN. I mean, it's such a popular pedals that it would be dumb not to. Kinda like how Line 6 still makes DL4's despite them being horribly outdated.

I have the same feeling about the Digitech Synth Wah pedal. It still sells for $90! I know it was THE pedal that gave Daft Punk its sound but the world has moved on ...
