Always-on Pedals. Do you really have them? Really?

[Señor Verde]

Just to qualify per the criteria, a buffer. All other pedals are true bypass and none of them are ALWAYS on.

My H&K Tonemeister 20 ain't got no verb

If im playing that I always have a verb in the loop

Caline Snake something. I'd have to look

I do like the Caline Enchanted Tone on my Stage Right 15 .. it just adds a bit of midrange Dumble flavor to the signal.

But not all the time

I can see a compressor if I was gigging

Tuner?

Boss SD1 into the front of an amp.

So a tubescreamer, but yellower?

 

[misterwhizzy]

So a tubescreamer, but yellower?

And a little less symmetric.

 

[Aceman]

It's for into a JCM800, so yellow is the preferred sound. Not that Green or Black wouldn't work.

 

[Sam SG]

How bout Never On pedals?
I have a EH Hum Debugger a Boss DS1 and Nux Hi Gain Distortion on the shelf with and inch of dust on them...that count?

 

[Chistopher]

If you can't make a Hum Debugger sound good, you probably can't make anything sound good

 

[Coma]

Noise gate and reverb is always on. And a Mooer Yellow Comp, to compensate for treble loss in the effects chain.

Maybe he doesn't use it for other reasons.

Of course, that might not allow for the sick burn® you apparently sought.

Yeah

They actually aren't that great at what they do. Either they don't get all the noise, or they take your signal with it

 

[Mincer]

I always have at least some reverb, but it is in the amp, not a pedal.

 

[jeremy]

if the amp has good reverb, ill use it. a deluxe reverb for example. but i have plenty of amps without reverb, tweeds and custom builds, i do have a reverb unit, but i dont use it all that often.

 

[Snake Aces]

I change reverb settings from song to song. For most stuff, I've been playing with the reverb on both of my amps set at 0. However, I will play with more reverb on the HK amp once I make it more convenient to preset reverb levels for specific songs by pairing an iPad with the HK. Then my reverb will always be on for at least one amp.

 

[GuitarStv]

I like reverb on recordings, but find that I rarely use it life. A delay pedal does close enough for my needs and seems to be less room specific. The same amp reverbs sometimes sound great and sometimes sound terrible depending on the room I'm in.
