Off Topic Whats your FAVORITE PEDAL??

[PeteDuBaldo]

If I used a wah with regularity, I would say the EB wah.

However, my TC Electronic Stereo Chorus is a staple in my setup, if for no other reason than the funny story behind it...

Story time!

I bought one of these (used) off ebay after hearing tommyindelaware use one live. This is a flat out amazing pedal, even if it doesn't make me sound like Tommy. Anyways, back to the story. I paid the seller, and he shipped the pedal to me via UPS. He was located in upstate NY, and the pedal was delivered to my store the next day. My cousin called me while I was at the pharmacy to let me know that the package had been delivered, so at lunch I went over to grab it. The first thing I noticed when I walked into the store was a funky smell, kind of like incense but not quite. I figured it was just a smelly customer until I got my hands on the box, at which point the scent punched me in the nose. I guess it was the same scent you would have smelled at a Grateful Dead concert (never saw them).

Upon opening the box, the pedal was nicely bubblewrapped, and whatever space the bubblewrap didn't fill inside the box was jammed full of that whacky tobaccy. There was probably a fistfull or two in there maybe the seller was trying to compensate me for the $20 shipping charge?

I'm not into that kind of thing, so that's where the story ends!

Well, I would probably have to say my KORG Pandora PX5-D. Sounds great through headphones and awesome for recording ( USB). Wasn't terribly fond of it through an amplifier, however, after using a few other pedals ( Radial Plexitube, Eventide Time Factor, Eventide Modulator, tried my friends Rocktron Rampage,..) I have found that I keep going back to the KORG. I finally sprung for 2 KORG PS-1 pedals to be able to switch effects without hands. It has so many possibilites for sounds, it really allows me to be creative. Nothing I hate more than being stuck with just one sound. The only thing you cant really get from the unit is the massive extreme metal sounds, but hard rock and down all day. The KORG allows me to get the awesome cleans from say Metallica's "Sanitarium", and even the clean sound from EVH "Feelin", modern distortions, a really nice "Brown Sound" which I use on many leads, an almost perfect SRV clean from "Little Wing", plus the ability to plug in via USB, beats and a loop station.

I recently purchased some Mogami cables, (gold)for KORG to Amplifier, and am still waiting on the guitar to effects cable (Platinum) I can already hear the difference just the one cable made, can't wait for the other one. For right now, I am happy. I may get a Tubescreamer one of these days to put after the Korg just to get the "Little Wing" higher gain sound combined with the clean setting on the KORG, and that should be able to get me pretty much all the sounds I need at this point in time. ( Including my WAH of course) It's a very-close-to-organic pedal-board in a cigarette pack sized box. Money well spent. My 2 cents.

Thats the best I've heard yet Pete!!LOL!!
I started all this and didn't even list a pedal,
it would be my Ethos Overdrive I really dig it!!

If I am in a place that allows me to overdrive my cab, the overdrive my head makes is amazing, but on 3, the head can cover an entire band so getting that loud isn't very often... So, long story short, If the amp is cranked, the pedal I can't live without is my malekko e-600 delay (plus it's fun to tweak the knobs and make robot noises) other than that, my turbo rat, since I rarely get to crank the sunn that loud anymore...

 

[Volt]

Easy decision, I'd keep my Boss "'65 Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp" pedal. It has the most realistic-sounding overdrive to my ears that I have yet heard. It also has reverb (fair) and a good tremolo.

Hah, great story Pete.

 

[JMB27]

[Jonny Dubai]

digitech hardwire cm2 distortion.

[DTJPPR]

My TC Electronic Nova Delay. I can get by running dry, but Delay just makes leads and clean sections sound so much more... professional, haha. I get so many complements on my lead tone, and I think its because of how I use my delays. I'm a freak, and spend more time tweaking my delay than the tone of my amp! Thankfully it has 9 presets I can step through at a gig, and if need be, I can dial it in to be a chorus as well. Useful pedal.

 

[73h Nils]

DD 20. I wish it had more presets though. Might try trading it with some $$ for a Nova Delay.

 

[phatduckk]

i bought a DOD Metal X in 1994 that I still have and love. My dad's repaired it about 4 times now. LOL but its my fav distortion pedal ever

 

[DaveB]

OK I admit it I am a gain pedal junkie.

I have a Tim, Klon, Keeley TS9, Power Screamer, Reezafratzitz, Zendrive, Blackstar HT, Tone Candy, Fuzz Nutz, Box of Rock, Box of Metal, Expandora.....etc etc

But my fave at the moment......

Jetter Gain Stage.

Dave

P.S. - you may have noticed I didnt say which one - thats because I have a Red, Blue, Black, Green, Purple and Gold 3D - I cant pick one!

 

[megaroel]

Best pedal ever even thought I don't play there guitars cause they stink (ts9) ibenez plus I heard maxon makes there pedals. 2nd pedal I would have to choose is the digitech whammy. I have yet to try the new eb wah. Soon though very soon with these pedals you can rule the metal world oh plus the amp 5150 3 .lol

I used to be a pedal junkie! I had around 20 pedals in front of me at any given time. Thats not counting rack units. But now Im slimming down my rig. I try to have the least amount of items in my chain as possible. The ones I cant live without would be.......

1. Delay (I used to have 2. 1 was for a quick slap back and the other was for a long slap back)
(Boss DD6 at the moment. But Im thinking of upgrading to a TC Electronics version.)

2. Overdrive. Ive gone thru several different makes and models and what not some as cheap as $20.00 and some as expensive as $300.00. Im using the MXR Custom Shop Overdrive at the moment with an AMT Electronics California Sound on the way.
