Dynacomp
Phase 90

I'm assuming it can't be a multi, or else my rig is already only two pedals

I'd honestly pick a Boss BD-2 blues driver, Chorus Ensemble, and Digital Delay. I'd wish they made a combo pedal for distortion, but that would be a multi. For what it's worth, I play mainly in church so I don't need much more than this right now.

Still, I prefer multieffects. I'm just that way I guess.

Im VERY shocked to see so much mention of compressor pedals, and i'm a little curious to know how/why you guys are using them.

Anyway, if I were to go down to 3 pedals I'd have to go with my Teese Picture wah, Beano Boost and a fuzztone, right now it'd be my Fulltone Ultimate Octave...I'd also add my Echoplex because it's not a pedal!

I'm not shocked but yeah, the compressors are getting more love then expected and I'm also curios.

Funny, with all the love EVH gets in this forum I'm pretty surprised there are almost none phaser-flanger-delay combinations here.

Re: If you had to limit your rig to 3 pedals - what would you choose?

Blackstone S2V3 OD
Analogman Sunlion Boost & Fuzz
Donnerbox Spatial Delay


That was easy !!!

FOUL!

I say the Sunlion counts as two pedals -- it's too good!

Well, if ya' wanna get technical........all 3 of them are dual action pedals :wink:

Dude, that's really not funny. My hamster uses that rig, and he wouldn't appreciate hearing you making light of it.

He'd be all :cussing:, and you'd be all :yell:.

And THAT's one of the funniest comments I've read in a while !!!! :laugh2:

My tuner isn't a pedal

Plexitone, my SD1, Big Muff

Wah, Overdrive, Delay...

Three of these should do the trick!

Three distortion pedals... wicked... reminds me of guys like the Edge who use a bunch of delay pedals in their rig...

I never use any other effects.

I was running that kind of thing for a while... and if I've built a "big" board it'll have two modulation stomps on it... but I've found that in a 'live' club/hall setting with a band It's really really easy for some tones to get washed out & sound more or less the same.

Phase 90 vs. Uni Vibe for instanace or having 3-4 different dirtboxes?

Better to go for the extremes IMO.

:smack:
I said no multi effects... and that's what the Expression Factory is all about... it's a multi effect shaped as an expression pedal.


BTW, what on earth would you do with those wahs and whammy pedals? aren't you into music that goes "dring dring drang drang" (that's me trying to imitate weird chords played on a strat).

I love my Wah, I use it in a couple of my band's songs, and I'd love to have the flanger to add to the mix as well as a whammy for doing RATM songs when not on stage.

1. Overdrive/boost (SD-1 Super Overdrive),
2. Reverb, only because my amp has no reverb(Electro Harmonix Holy Grail soon to be purchased)
3. And maybe a chorus to enhance the cleans a bit
