What is the Mount Rushmore of stomps?

[Securb]

If you could only build a board with 4 stomps or what do you think the 4 most influential stomps are - there are no wrong answers but limit to 4

My board:
MXR Dist +
Ibanez CS-9
Morley VOL - WAH - BOOST
BOSS DD7

Legendary:
Dallas Rangemaster treble booster
Echoplex
Thomas Crybaby
Fuzzface

Well, my 4 pedals would be not necessarily classics, but things I would actually use: BYOC 5 knob compressor, EH Small Stone Phaser, Line 6 DL4, and an SD 805.

[...]
Echoplex

There may be no wrong answers but Echoplex doesn't look like a stompbox to me

On my board:
Deluxe Memory Man
Triangle Muff
Vox Wah

4th would be Ross Comp (not on my board now)

Re: What is the Mount Rushmore of stomps?

My current four stomps rig :

Ibanez TS808
Jim Dunlop J.H. FuzzFace (Si - BC808)
Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail
EHX Big Muff Deluxe (but I would not mind the Ram Head instead)

The most influencial :

Gibson Maestro Fuzz-tone (this is the seminal one but the FF is the legendary one)
Maxon TS808 / TS9
not really a stomp but... the Echoplex
Maxon AD-80 / AD-9 (any analog delay stomp before ?)

Not influencial... but special love to hte Binson Echorec !

Legendary:

Crybaby Wah
Echoplex
Fuzz Face
Leslie/Rotovibe/Univibe

Classic:
Crybaby Wah
TS-9
MXR Phase 90
AD-9

This is very close to what I’d say too, maybe sub the AD-9 for a Memory Man and the Phaser could be a Chorus, but both are watershed effects.

Re: What is the Mount Rushmore of stomps?

I don't see anyone mentioning a tuner, so I won't count that either:

Wampler Ego Compressor
Wampler Ecstasy Overdrive
Jeter Gold 45/100
Strymon El Capistan Delay

A shoot-out is in the near future between the Jeter Gold and my Electro-Harmonix Triangle Muff PI reissue.

Edit: Dangit ... I need 5. I may have to dump the Jeter/Muff slot and add my TC Electronic Ditto X2 Looper.

Did you know the first pedal tuner was the Boss TU-2. And it was introduced in 1998?

How about the Arion Stage? I though I had an 80s one. At least it was beaten up like it was from the 80s.

I always thought Korg pedal tuners have been around forever. At least longer than that.

 

[Jacew]

Re: What is the Mount Rushmore of stomps?

Well. If I'm going to pick most influential they'd be: Original Crybaby, Big Muff, Maestro FZ-1 and Electric Mistress

Stand alone, but not pedal. (At least that’s my understanding) So you need the volume pedal or some other pedal to mute to tune...

If someone finds evidence to refute, is love to see it. I hope I’m not just spewing Boss marketing that’s misleading.

I remember using CONN tuners in the late 80's what a pain in the sack those things were.

Re: What is the Mount Rushmore of stomps?

Mt. Rushmore would have to be:

Big Muff Pi
TS-9
CE-2
Vox Wah (Tonebender if wahs don't count)

My Pedalboard would be:

Tumnus
CE-2
Timeline Delay
Some versatile fuzz contraption (still looking for the right one)

"However, the standout quality of the [Arion] Stage Tuner is the simple fact that it was the first commercially available tuner in the compact stompbox form factor. Before the Stage Tuner, guitarists were forced to use clunky, suitcase-sized strobe tuners on stage, or the ultra-limited quartz types. The spec sheet boasted an LED display bright enough to be read from six feet away, so guitarists taller than six-foot-five or so need not apply. Still, it can be hard to believe that underdogs Arion got the drop on the big boys when it came to groundbreaking achievements in the pedal industry."
