Re: Name 10 MUST have pedals

I don't know if these are 10 "must have," and in fact I don't know if I can remember 10 pedals I've had at one time. Chorus wasn't for me, phasing wasn't for me, vibe pedals weren't for me, etc. etc.

That being said I'll go with what I think would be the perfect board:

1. Dunlop Crybaby Wah
2. Germanium Fuzz Face (If I had ever gotten to play the analogman sun face I would probably put that here, mine is a BYOC)
3. Keeley or Analogman or Monte Allums Modded boss SD-1, with the buffered circuit modification (it uses a capacitor, a transistor, and a diode but I forget how it's wired exactly)
4. Xotic EP booster (haven't played this either but boy the demos sound good. I found a schematic though so that may change soon)
5. Malekko Omicron Tremolo
6. Catalinbread Echorec (again, haven't played, but this is exactly the kind of echo I would get if I had the $$$)

That's all I can think of, so for the last 4, I'll do "really want to try sometime"

7. Analogman KoT
8. PCE Aluminum Falcon
9. Z.Vex Ringtone
10. Barber LTD

If you can't tell I'm a big fan of drive pedals.

Re: Name 10 MUST have pedals

How do you play covers of "Ebony and Ivory"?

Crusty has the Taste not to do that.

Re: Name 10 MUST have pedals

I think most guitarists all use a red, yellow or orange one, although many prefer green. Blue, pink and purple ones are optional.

I use a yellow one, and sometimes an orange one. I don't have enough feet to use more than two.

You don't have a black or a white one? How do you play covers of "Ebony and Ivory"?

Re: Name 10 MUST have pedals

Way Huge Green Rhino OD (I like options on my OD's)
MXR M108 10-band EQ
Boss HM-2 (floored)
Hardwire Chorus (I'm sure there's a better chorus out there but for the money, this damn thing is awesome)

Everything else is details.

All the ones on this pedal board (Just needs cables)

Re: Name 10 MUST have pedals

I find Univibe (of any sort_ an interesting choice. Why does this make the list. I have lived my entire life without one.

The vibe is a special phaser. It has a sound that's very noticeable, but at the same time it doesn't completely highjack the sound of your guitar like most other phasers. With a regular phaser when playing lead I find the sound kinda overpowering. With a 'vibe it's a bit more subtle. To me phasing meshes better with distortion and fuzz than chorus or flangers, and the vibe seems to mesh better than typical phasers. I'm not a high gain guy though.

Seriously check one out.

Re: Name 10 MUST have pedals

Ibanez TS9
Fulltone Fat Boost 3
MXR 10 band EQ
MXR Phase 90
Boss NS-2
TC Electronics Hall of Fame
Boss DD3
..pretty much a must for me.
The rest of my pedals are mostly dirt pedals(Metal Zone, Alpha Dog, Pale Horse, Trifecta, MXR Dist.III, Boss SD-1)

Re: Name 10 MUST have pedals

I don't use much for pedals.

Sioux Guitars: K-D Chorus
Ibanez: FL9 Flanger
Keeley: Two Knob Compressor
MXR: M-66 Classic Overdrive
MXR: M-133 Micro Amp

Re: Name 10 MUST have pedals

I can think of two that I would recommend to pretty much anybody.

Sonic Research Turbo Tuner, if you want the best true bypass strobe pedal tuner ever made, and..

Paul Cochrane Timmy/Tim, if you like the sound of your amp and want a pedal that will sound like you've turned around and turned up the volume, including the imparted gain increase.

The rest is so much a matter of personal taste and requirements that none could be considered 'must have.'

Some personal faves…

Landgraff DO & Mo'D, for TS and RAT duties.
Retro-Sonic Chorus, if you own a CE-1 and don't want to drag it around by the power cord
MXR Phase 100…swirly, versatile, and at its extremes can do what I like to call the 'heroin sound'
EarthQuaker Devices Dispatch Master. This one makes me want to put a fluro sticker on it with just the word 'LARGE' written on it.
Neo Mini Vent…just got one of these…I love Leslie ramping.
KR Megavibe…sounds like a Univibe
Maxon AD-900…reminds me of the old Ibanez AD-80…just a lovely, ambient analog delay delay delay
Teese RMC wahs, back when Geoffrey was making them by hand. I have a custom made RMC-1 and a Picture Wah. They're funky.
Hermida Zendrive…makes absolutely any amplifier ever made sound like a $40,000 Dumble. Ok, that's not true. Nice little overdrive, anyway.
BJFE Honey Bee…makes absolutely any amplifier sound like a crappy little Supro. Ok, that IS true. Great little pedal.
Neunaber WET…Robbie Robertson and Daniel Lanois, together, in a little box.
BOSS Slow Gear…not to use it, just to have it so that when people see it, they can say, "Oh wow man, you've got one of THOSE!" and you can nod, smugly.

Re: Name 10 MUST have pedals

No DOD American Metal = Invalid thread.

I still have one of those. I got it when i was 16 from a dude who literally sold me a 5 gallon bucket full of dod pedals for 100 bucks. Its terrible in a late 80's distortion box sort of way that makes it cool when jamming to a motely crue record sometimes.
