What’s your favorite pedal?

[Demanic]

As much as I love my Tremolo pedals...I have to go with my Boss DD3. It just does what I need, and has been doing it for 35+ years. Simple and perfectly effective.

You wouldn't need that delay if you could just pick faster.

Tough but ATM it's a toss-up:

Eventide Pitchfactor for the detune

J Rockett Archer Ikon for the Klone

'82 BOSS Japan BF-2 Flanger for the EQ

If we're talking only single-purpose pedal (no multi-effects), then this is it. I get a lot of mileage out of this one. Lots of hidden settings, all the knobs have secondary functions. The sound is amazing - best delay on my board.

 

[dave74]

^^^That does indeed look very cool.

My AMT SS-20, it is a tube preamp in a pedal, it is my sound live, rehearsal and home recording.

It's a toss up between the Boss BD-2 and old EHX big box Small Stone phaser. The SS is gorgeous sounding but sometimes unreliable, so I guess the BD-2 wins by default.

BD-2 - the first pedal I ever bought, and one that I've been continuously using for more than 25 years. It happily does everything from boosting to light overdrive, to surprisingly heavy distortion.

Ive never directly compared the big box Small Stone vs the Nano, which I have. I like the Nano a lot- so much, that it deserves to be on my 'favorite' list.

Fa-vor-ite (adjective) - preferred before all others of the same kind.

Picking three is a complete cop-out. This thread is about making a decision and praising a single pedal because it was the most awesome experience you've had with one.

The one that comes to mind immediately is my MXR 5150 Overdrive. It's not just for getting VH tones. I can make it do a whole lot more from lighter drive to over the top searing distortion. It amazes me how well it interacts with the guitar like being plugged right in to an amp, meaning that rolling the guitar volume down has that same type of interaction and feel. I've never had that in a pedal before. I could take it and run it in front of any amp or amp/cab sim and get the sound I need. Add reverb/delay to taste.

Yep, it was a cop out.

But I've had the most awesome experiences with all three within their respective genres (detune, Klon Klone, Flanger but really EQ)

 

[NegativeEase]

All time?

We I'd say the one pedal that I always felt essential (especially because I could get gain/OD from my amps if needed)

Was this: (even though I use a tap tempo full featured one now)

Second Place?
This Origin Compressor is the best ever made:

Third Place?

Any KLONE to boost the front end of a JMP/JCM or Bassman style circuit etc....

HONORABLE MENTION?
or what will likely be on here in the future?

Eventide H9 once I figure it out.

Origin Revival Drive

Boss Super Shifter

Wampler Triple Wreck V2. I know its whole thing is supposed to be '90s and 2000s gnu metal, but for some reason I'm getting very satisfying Lightning and Puppets tones with it. That's high praise; that's high praise.

Photo edit:

I couldn't happen to not notice that the gain structure is not set to "brutal". Why is this?

 

[dave74]

^^^Hey it's hard to be brutal,,,,,,,,,,,,with all knobs on zero.

 

[NegativeEase]

Haha. I don't know Friends well enough to know if your horrified or in love.

 

[NegativeEase]

hahahhahahahha

The color, the sound?

 

[NegativeEase]

Controls, layout, labeling.

:lmao:

 

[misterwhizzy]

Now I'm sitting on this tiny dancer and I'm holding it close.

All the sound, none of the level drop and 1/4 the size. Just like the originals, set all the knobs at 9 o'clock and forget them. THIS is what a flanger should do.

I think I need to hear more about this. What kind of tone do you get from this? And what justifies a twenty percent price bump over the stereo version?

 

[SlyFoxx]

Sounds just like this.

I know nothing about a "stereo version". However this box has a flanged out and dry out.

 

[misterwhizzy]

Deluxe versus...

...stereo.
