i feel like selling my stompboxes...

.....because i have a boss me-50 multieffect-unit in the house. i checked that thing out yesterday for myself under various settings in the rehearsal-place by myself and i can not be more impressed. it works so well with a tube amplifier, it does not make noise, has a cool acoustic simulation and a good wah and a manual-mode. the distortions work good with a loud amp as well. i doublechecke with the similar stompboxes and it keeps up no problem. the distortion+ setting on the boss works better than a real distortion + in my ears. i wonder what happens, when the drummer sets in but i am pretty positive about the me 50. i really have a feeling, that i should sell most of my stompboxes and just keep the three really good ones. that would be a cool "simplify your life"-action.
what do you think? am i nuts?

You aren't nuts...there are many goldmine combinations (pedals/amps) out there that sound great.
Case in point----I had an old Nady tube overdrive (12AX7) that sounded like a vomiting badger through every amp except my '59 Bassman......then it sounded INCREDIBLE.Now,the other amps were '50s tweeds also.

Keep them in the cupboard perhaps, I have 10 in mine and I'm sure they will come in handy at some point. Also nice to have extra pedals if a friend comes round to jam or you need a particular sound for a recording.

I don't think you're nuts, but I probably am, because I've kept about 85% of the pedals that I've acquired over the years.

Most of them sit in my closet. Some haven't been used in a half a decade or longer.

The only ones I let go are those that can't do at least one thing with killer results.

I know I'm really certifiable, because I have at least 2 of a few of them!

If you're not using them, let 'em go. Unless they are collector's items, you can always pick up another one down the road.

It' too bad that Me 50 didn't have a send return loop Eddie like the GT 8.

It's easy to get excited about the ME50! But I'd still hold on to some of my pedals if I were you...
