Re: who uses no effects whatsoever?
Wah only if I don't have phase switches on the guitar already, so I can get similar sounds easily. Once in a blue moon I'll use it for the typical wah sound.
Otherwise just a treble booster. I hate playing hop-skotch when playing guitar.

I always have an OD of some sort as a booster, and if I feel froggy at a gig I'll hook up the wah, too. Sometimes a phaser or flanger is cool when I want a bigger tone for a part without more od or volume.

Depends on what I need.
Do onboard reverb, onboard overdrive, onboard boost, 2 or 3 overdrive pedals, boost pedal, phaser pedal, wah pedal, 1 or 2 delay pedals and a multi effects pedal count?

Re: who uses no effects whatsoever?
I try not to turn on more than three stomp boxes at a time. The fuzzy swirlies don't just happen, ya know?
But there is something nice about the simplicity of running straight into the amp. When I play through the Blues Jr., I am more likely to leave the pedal board at home.

Re: who uses no effects whatsoever?
i do use pedals for live (generally and overdrive or a fuzz) unless its a solo classical or a straight ahead jazz gig, but i just finished recording an album of 9 songs with i think 30ish guitar tracks in total. Everything from chimey cleans, thick vintage tweedy tones all the way through to dirty as hell and not a single pedal anywhere. (album release is mid january so ill put up samples as soon as i can).
It was not intentional either, it just worked out that way. I was planning on using various drives, muffs and fuzz faces as well as univibes etc. We did try them out, but when listening through the monitors and the mix, in the nice controllable and sound proofed environment of a nice studio, cranking the amps, using different guitars and fiddling with the tone controls on guitars and the various amps gave me all the sounds i needed to fill the sonic spectrum.
Totally unfeasible live tho!.....i cant see too many opportunities to crank up a twin reverb (or even the smaller wattage amps) all the way in a club setting.
....might be fun one day tho

People play without pedals?
That's a kind of life I don't want to live.

Re: who uses no effects whatsoever?
That's the way I usually do it.
I have to have a little delay at times. I can live without other effects, but delay is vital.

Re: who uses no effects whatsoever?
Depends. Does OD count as an effect? I'd get my drive from my amp except they're all too loud to play in a band context that way. If I'm playing clean I'm running zero effects. Oddly enough, my LP Jr direct into my Bassman LTD with its Weber speakers is the best clean tone I've ever had. When I'm playing clean on stage I can't believe that's my guitar that sounds like that.

+1
Delay with od/fuzz/dist in front of it sounds too slick for my taste. I also tend to use the delay notes more as part of the song than for ambience so to me it makes sense to feed the repeats to the gain stage rather than the other way round.

Re: who uses no effects whatsoever?
Close to no effects, have a echo in the loop on my amp.
Even the tuner gets disconnected when I play.
I do use fuzz and a vibe when I go for that sound, but they gets disconnected once I do not use them.
Love the simple way these days.

Clean Boost, Compressor, TS Clone, Low Gain OD, Low Gain OD, Medium Gain OD, Tremolo, Delay. I'd like to add another delay so I can have my solo delay and my slap-back delay and not have to constantly bend over and fiddle with my delay pedal.
