They make really great sounding pedals and there is not enough talk about it on their own web site. Time to change that a little. :cool2:

What is your favorite SD pedal and what type of music do you use it for?
 
Re: What is your favorite Seymour Duncan pedal?

Pickup booster. Not the most interesting choice however it compliments the drive channel of my Laney Lionheart beautifully

Close tie between my pickup booster and Twin Tube Classic. Completely different animals, but both do what they do better than anything else I've heard.

The Lava Box. Works well blending with amp overdrivre-distortion without colouring it.

Currently loving the 805 overdrive, with the Pickup Booster a close second. Together they sound fab!
 
Re: What is your favorite Seymour Duncan pedal?

I like the 805 and the Vise Grip. The Vise Grip might not be as exciting, as it is just an excellent compressor. The 805 really is an ideal configuration of an overdrive.

I've honestly never tried them, but I did see a Lava box at the pawn shop down the road that was begging to be brought home. My pedal G.A.S. Is tingling.

I only have the Lava Box & Tweak Fuzz . . . and really like 'em both ! !

BOTH Units excel in slower paced Stoner-like Rock . . . think Fu Manchu.

I've tried only about four of them, but the Shape Shifter tremolo is probably my favorite. I use it for music that's probably in the shoe gaze neighborhood. I'd really gotten into trem and wanted a next-level pedal to replace two that I'd been using. Big fan.

Pickup Booster for Strat and the blues can set it to kick in just the right amount of boost to overdrive my amp and it does something really cool thats hard to describe it makes the tone richer without changing it if that makes any sense.

Grab it. If it does not work well with your rig, you can sell it.

TT-Mayhem. It might take an eq to do "modern" metal, but does vintage fantastically. The controls are very sensitive and it can get very loud.

I have a bunch of stuff I'm trying to knab from a local builder before he closes up shop. If it's still there when I've got what I am after from his stuff, I have my eye on it.

I think my favorite Seymour Duncan pedal is the Vapor Trail. It sits very nicely in the back when you want it and it has a great sound. The Catalina is a close 2nd place.
 
Re: What is your favorite Seymour Duncan pedal?

Someday, the pedal collectors will realize how truly good Duncan pedals are.

The problem is they don't have boutique hipness, and they aren't fully stocked at GC and Sam Ash like Way Huge.

I think their classics are the Shape Shifter and Deja Vu, but all of them are good.

The only negatives have been cheap switches and hard to service mini tubes in the early drive pedals. Other than that, they all sound great.

I don't think anyone doubts SD stompboxes. The compressors, analog delay, chorus, & tremolo are really top condenders in their respective categories. They're just so expensive.
