Re: Name 10 MUST have pedals
The vibe is a special phaser. It has a sound that's very noticeable, but at the same time it doesn't completely highjack the sound of your guitar like most other phasers. With a regular phaser when playing lead I find the sound kinda overpowering. With a 'vibe it's a bit more subtle. To me phasing meshes better with distortion and fuzz than chorus or flangers, and the vibe seems to mesh better than typical phasers. I'm not a high gain guy though.
Seriously check one out.

You don't have a black or a white one? How do you play covers of "Ebony and Ivory"?

Re: Name 10 MUST have pedals
I don't know if these are 10 "must have," and in fact I don't know if I can remember 10 pedals I've had at one time. Chorus wasn't for me, phasing wasn't for me, vibe pedals weren't for me, etc. etc.
That being said I'll go with what I think would be the perfect board:
1. Dunlop Crybaby Wah
2. Germanium Fuzz Face (If I had ever gotten to play the analogman sun face I would probably put that here, mine is a BYOC)
3. Keeley or Analogman or Monte Allums Modded boss SD-1, with the buffered circuit modification (it uses a capacitor, a transistor, and a diode but I forget how it's wired exactly)
4. Xotic EP booster (haven't played this either but boy the demos sound good. I found a schematic though so that may change soon)
5. Malekko Omicron Tremolo
6. Catalinbread Echorec (again, haven't played, but this is exactly the kind of echo I would get if I had the $$$)
That's all I can think of, so for the last 4, I'll do "really want to try sometime"
7. Analogman KoT
8. PCE Aluminum Falcon
9. Z.Vex Ringtone
10. Barber LTD
If you can't tell I'm a big fan of drive pedals.

Re: Name 10 MUST have pedals
Maybe I'm slightly misinterpreting the OP but I feel wahwah got it right. What's a set of pedals that if you saw them on a board you'd go "this guy knows how to gig"?
Not sure I can come up with 10 but I see these come up a lot in use by guys that really get milage from pedals:
Timmy
HBE Power Screamer
Xotic AC Booster
Turbo Tuner
Neunaber WET
Line6 DL4
Boss DD-3/5
Barber Tone Press
Ernie Ball/Morley volume pedal
EDIT: Also that reissue chorus/flange thing with the hammertone... Fulltone Choralflange IIRC.

Re: Name 10 MUST have pedals
I would never use 10 pedals so I can't list 10, but I have been using 3 or 4 for many years.....
Boss DD3.
Boss CE 2
TS9 or 808 ( I like them both but I typically use the TS9's.
Boss TU2 or TU3. Then a good Wah-Wah. I have two vintage Thomas Organ Company Wahs that have been modded, I have a Vox 847 that has also been modded, and I have a Stock Vox Clyde McCoy. I prefer the TOC wahs. They just have the right sound/voice for what I like to do.
A few years ago I won a Duncan Deja Vu Delay and I never really used it. Its too big & has too many options so its brand new sitting in the box in a closet... I like the DD3. I have been using one for at least 15 years or so. I actually have 3 of them and I use them all.

Re: Name 10 MUST have pedals
I'm quite serious when I say that I'd rather be kicked in the junk than ever hear that bastard pedal again. If I want ugly, I go with the HM2.

Re: Name 10 MUST have pedals
Must have pedals?
A tuner. I use the Korg DT-10 because of the great buffer.
An overdrive pedal for soloing, I don't go for all that boutique BS... Catalinbread, Luther drive, etc...
I use the Fulldrive 2 mosfet. it's a variation on the tubescreamer.
a vox wah.

LOL!! Well, just for the record, I WAS kidding! Tho I do own one, I never use it anymore. I once had a SS amp that had NO gain at all, so...
