Re: If you could only have one pedal
A Wampler Dual Fusion with an amp that has great tube driven spring reverb would do me just fine.

Re: If you could only have one pedal
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.

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.

Re: If you could only have one pedal
for years my only pedal was a Phase 90
and a Wah/Volume pedal someone gave me
I never plugged it in
have no idea what it did or if it even worked
I probably would use a small amount of delay on everything and be happy
a real short delay makes you rhythms and leads sound houge

TC Electronics Booster + Line Driver and Distortion, Ive had one of these in my rig since 1989, I never use it for distortion only as a boost. This is my always on pedal and is so perfect for punching in the face of a tube amp.
