Default Pedal Choices

I don't have or have used a lot of pedals like some. I researched distortion pedals for months and came across a post on the Seymour Duncan 805, which I thought was great, so I bought one. It's a Tube Screamer type pedal with an added twist. A three band EQ which has a great range and you can go from a bright Fender twang attack to Mesa Grunge Chunk. It would be my #1. The #2 is the hard one, although reverb, modulation, and delays are cool they are nothing without the right sound and my twin has reverb and tremolo. My #2 would be my MXR Micro Amp or my Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster. With one click and a gain knob you can send a twin into a tizzy with these little monsters without having loads of buttons to mess with. Plus they are both cheap and great quality. They also work great for bumping up a signal for lead over a loop track.

Reverb, if the amp doesn't have it, and compressor, specifically the Boss LMB-3.

One pedal, that's as tough as coming up with one guitar. For me it would be Strymon, depending on your flavor. My board has a Timeline, Big Sky and a Riverside. Along with a compressor a DI and a Strymon power box, I'm almost beyond pedal gas. Ok, maybe a nice little chorus just for those times... ;-)

Electro Harmonix Soul Food. It's on my board now and I bought it the first time I played it. Ask me something in 6 months and it may be a different pedal I'll choose.

1st...pultec parametric eq with germanium drive...it adds the glue, air and articulation.

2nd...EHX Lpb 2ube with rca 12au7 tubes...the nice thing is you can put a pedal between the tubes to tubafi it.

with the pultec inbetween the 2 tubes ... a tube pultec

use it with a couple of old 50's se6L6 or a 1949 pp6v6 monoblock amps

1.A Klon clone called Tumnus made by Wampler. Transparent like the original.

2.Some kind of delay or slapback- I use a Flashback due to its versatility.

I gig with a very similar setup sometimes: a Mojo Hand FX Sacred Cow (Klon Clone) and a Way Huge Aqua Puss (Delay).

If you could only use one pedal for an electric guitar gig, what would it be?
If you could use two pedals for an electric guitar gig, what would they be?

The Stipulations:
Assume that a tuner doesn't count, and you can't use a digital multi-fx.
The amp and guitar is your choice, but I would like to know.

The Purpose:
I want new pedals to try!
There have been tons of great suggestions but I think there is no question, that the "One pedal to Rule Them All " would have to this one



everything else pales by comparison Currently out of production and hard to find

Boss DD3. I've been using this since high school. I just think it sounds good.



Two pedals... I'd use a good overdrive such as the Xotic BB Preamp and a Looper such as the Digitech looper with an SD card that you can pre-program with a bunch of your loops or backing tracks.
