Sell them and try some new shit! Phasers and Flangers are a good place to start. Also ring mods...

I've been down those roads before, especially with ring mods. I think the biggest thing keeping me from trading/selling at this point is that I have no idea what I'd even want. The only thing I'm even thinking about is bitcrushers, but I've had a few and not been happy with them. I'm just sort of uninspired by pedaldom right now. Maybe I'll feel better once I've got my No Memory.

When I was feeling disenchanted with pedals I just played clean for like half a month. Fuzz felt so good afterwards.

Maybe offer to make a few swaps on CL? If I have something I'm not feeling I'll put trades as an option. Cash is fleeting. Swapping out always feels hella legit.

I was bummed out about having to sell most of my pedlols, but don't miss 'em as much as I thought I would :idk:
Might be in denial though.

Yeah, this works too, and may give you a new perspective on yr playing.

Any time I get truly bored with pedals I just put them up on bst/kijiji for open ended trades. It's actually how I got some of my favourite pedals like my Secret Destroyer and Mini

Skullservants recommendation of making a second pedal board with whatever you don't use is gold. I usually have two pedal boards going. Most of the time if I find that a pedal is lacking I'll move it to a different board and will love it there.

Also selling some for a new instrument is always interesting and can show your pedals in a new light as well. I'll always recommend a Drone Commander

I am immune to amp GAS. I always wanted a Sunn head. I got a Sunn head. No temptation to change amps. I have almost every guitar I want, too, except a Gretsch Silver Jet.

Not change, just more amps :animal:

Get another Sunn for some dual amp goodness, when I had two it always thickened up my recordings.
