what to keep, what to sell?

hi guys,
i own this little collection of stompboxes:

ibanez ts7 cheapo tubescreamer
boss tremolo
zoom choir 50 50
behringer acoustic modeler
korg stagetuner
mxr distortion +
boss chorus
ibanez anlog ad 9 delay
marsall black bluesbraker.

a boss me 50 can replace all that stuff with no problemos. and the cablemess will be gone.
but i kinda feel like i should keep the temolo, the analog delay, the bluesbraker and the tuner.
but: then i might as well keep everything.....

what would you do?

simplify your life without regretting later.
please feel free to set my head straight!

I'm a little bit in the same boat. Over time I find out I have collected a bunch of stuff and ask myself... do I even use this... or do I really need it?

To that end I would suggest pick that the 3 least desired items and post them for sale. Things don't sell instantly and it gives you some time to think about what next.

From a keep standpoint, think about the minimum stuff you would have to have without a ME50. Part of that is style. I always had to have a tuner (and is probably my most important pedal) but now my new tele stays in tune so well (once new strings are broken) in... I almost don't need it. Next is a od/distortion pedal because 50% of the tunes require some dirt that is beyond the amp. After that is either delay or modulation. So those are 3 most important pedals for me. And now I need to get rid of the other 5!

My wife thinks a little differently. She thinks I should get the new thing first to see if I am really happy with it before I sell any of the older stuff. That kind makes sense to. Make sure the ME50 is really the choice, then you can start clearing out pedals with gusto.

webfoot, thatīs the way to go. i will keep a minimum. btw: the me 50 does the trick so well, itīs hard to believe.
