I've never owned anything else twice, strat shaped guitars many times etc. but not the exact same thing. Even my MX5's were all different colours :P

Not sure what difference they make tbh. Has a second footswitch that turns it into a Keeley modded 808. Separate drive control for the mod, so can set up a clean boost on one side and then kick in more dirt.

Only thing sold as far as pedals go that i want back is script logo Phase 90 RI. Batteries only and no LED tho, but it sounded fantastic.

Guitar wise. A good SG would be nice. Want that more than another LP. 245 is cutting it for now tho, although it needs a setup tweak that is beyond me (can't get truss rod and action right, which i usually manage no probs)

Amps? Nah. Would not buy the amps I have already had. Laney is doing fine for me. I would like a late 70s JMP MkII with a nice cab, but would never get to use it unless I load box it.
That was a cracking drive made by the fuzz, glad to have returned it. Think I still have the other chip for its guts somewhere... I throw nothing away.

I'm a shocker with Boss pedals. I've had multiple DD20, DD3, DD5, DD2, RV2, RV3, TU2, BD2, TR2. I sell them to upgrade but a couple of years later, realise that the form is the best in the pedal world, the sounds are really good and practical and so I buy them again. I'm hanging on to a DD2, DD5 and RV3 now, even though I don't use them, but I know if I sell them one day I'll buy them back!

If you (are a sad enough creature that you) study pro pedalboards, you can't escape the fact that many are built around Boss.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Fuzzie Bro is in Aussie now I think. I never had one of his fuzz pedals, but this 808 is definitely good. Stacked with the Suhr Riot it produces sustaining harmonic overtones like a good fuzz, but without the thickness and rudeness. More like a Smooth tone or The Loner etc. Good tone for some more modern* sounding playing, although still need an actual fuzz to do the fat tonz. Pedal is pretty shitty looking now with corrosion on the enclousure. I want to give it a paint job, but will lose the Fuzzie Bro graphics if I do.

*modern by my old school estimation at least. Still think Surfing With Alien is 'modern' :D

Not as bad as I thought. At one point I had two red Yamaha SA700's, and I sold one of my project guitars twice.

Definitely have had Boss pedals multiple times and a few other ones due to my mollying tendencies. Thinking about it I have owned an MXR Micro Flanger 4 times, which is weird because I had completely forgotten about that pedal. I did do a lot of mollying with pedals in the early days though.

My first Hotcake got nicked when I left my bag of pedals and leads etc in the car. Smashed window and bag gone. Bass on the back seat still there though... Was an ibanez sound gear, so not sure if lucky or not.

So I bought another Hotcake, and then bought a double Hotcake cos 1 isn't enough.

Despite really not getting along with them, I've owned a couple of Jems and a couple of RG550s. A couple of HD500s. The winner though is Mesa Recto 2x12 cabs- I've owned 3 of them.
