Mount Rushmore of stompboxes

[Lewguitar]

My personal Mt. Rushmore would probably be:
Fulltone Fulldrive 2 -> Wampler Pinnacle -> Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus -> EHX Deluxe Memory Man

For the real Mt. Rushmore I'd have some different choices.

Me too. I'd put Sitting Bull up there.

That is 7 pedals pick 4

its eight actually and i was giving two different four pedal setups i could live with

For me personally I'd go:

Origin Cali76 compressor (UA 1176 clone..ish). best compressor (I've tried almost all of them)
Archer Ikon Overdrive. -It adds nice grit BUT also adds intelligibility -theres no hiding )
EHX Pitch Fork Shifter -follows chords the best (shout out to Boss Super Shifter though)
MXR Carbon Copy Delay -just does one thing so well

(I get Reverb and Vibrato and preamp distortion/fuzz from my amp)

But all time?
I think between EHX, MXR and Boss pretty much invented 95% of all circuit styles -take your pick.

O no my friend no loopholes, if we are using amp effects I could use the chorus in my JC120 or someone could rock a Line 6.

Interesting thread title. I like it. When I read it I am thinking it is a conversation of the 4 greatest or most significant pedals in the guitar pedal world. As I go through the thread, it appears to be my 4 favorite pedals I would use (which may be iconic to me but possibly not Mt. Rushmore level status) that I would use on my board.

When I think iconic...Trend setters.... Foundational pedals that started things off..... I would be remiss to not mention these from a historic perspective. I know I am missing some.

Tubescreamer
Fuzz Face
Deluxe Memory Man
ADA Flanger
Binson Echorec
Boss CE Chorus pedals
MXR Phaser
Talk Box


Oddly enough, I own several of the listed above but the specifics ones I mentioned I wouldn't use on my board in most cases. If I had to pick 4, I could manage with these.

Neunaber Immerse Mk II
Neunaber Inspire Tri-Chorus
Diamond Memory Lane Jr.
Skreddy Litle Miss Sunshine

If I were using bigger box pedals with more robust features I would use these.

Free The Tone Flight TIme Delay
Free The Tone Tri- Avatar Chorus
Empress Reverb
Thorpy Flanger

If I were to answer this again in five minutes I am 99% certain my answers would change. :smack:

Personal Choices:
Suhr Riot
Xotic RC Booster
Boss SC-1
Boss DD7

If going less than "Rock" for a more Blues deal:
Stamps Drive-O-Matic
T-Rex Viper
Diaz Tremodillo
EHX Holy Grail

If Cheating:
Boss Digital Metalizer (Distortion plus 3 delays and a chorus)
Visual Sound H2O (2 chorus modes, and 2 delay modes - ch+dly at same time)
Marshall Regenerator (Chorus, Flange, Phase, Tremolo, more...)
Line 6 DL4

I am about to have my 4th effect to make this cut.

JHS - Muffuletta Fuzz
Maxon AD10 - Analog Delay
JHS - Series 3 Compressor (about to add this one to my gear)

And my amp already has a nice reverb built into it plus it has a LED tuner built in, so I'm all set.

Assume your amp has nothing.

If my amp had nothing, I'd add a good reverb and be done
