If you could only have one pedal

[Securb]

So if you could only have one pedal what would it be? Multi-effects like the H9 and the Korg Pandora are off the table. One box between you and your amp what is it?

some sort of high-quality delay pedal with presets.

Give me a brand...come on man I know you got it in you.

I'd probably go with an analog delay, most likely the Carbon Copy. Depending on the gig, though, I might take an overdrive instead, in which case it would be a double OD, something like the JHS Double Barrel or the Wampler Dual Fusion.

I think if I chose the right amp, I wouldn't need much of anything except maybe some delay. So I'll go with the Carbon Copy as well. I step on that more than anything these days.

A Wampler Dual Fusion with an amp that has great tube driven spring reverb would do me just fine.

Probably my Pigtronix Echolution

A TIS58-loaded EP3 preamp a la BadgerFX Trilogy.

Id say a tasty fuzz, either Fuzz Face or Big Muff inspired. Probably a good GE based Fuzz Face though, as it's such an awesome range of light OD up through liquid sustain with just your volume knob.

Strymon then.

Duncan Deja Vu if that's too fancy.

Blues Driver for lower gain or non-master-volume amps
or if the amp has enough gain I wouldn't mind a carbon copy

Re: If you could only have one pedal

Other than a tuner...

Well, I have the overdrive sounds covered with the Mesa amps so, I would probably choose a Crybaby Classic (or a Dunlop Signature Wah, if I found one I liked better) for rock gigs; and then a DOD Hardwire Chorus for jazz and soft rock gigs. I think there are some pedals that do chorus + delay--I'd have to check that out. I use all my pedals about equally...each effect only gets used on about 4-6 songs a night. I like effects; the trick is not to over-use them.

But Stills, Kath, Clapton, Santana, Hendrix...these guys were all terrific Wah users. Nothing in Rock is as FEROCIOUS as a screaming Wah solo.

For me I think it would have to be my Morley Vol/Wah
