Your essential pedalboard

Had a good afternoon this afternoon using pretty close to this setup (I had the Memory Boy along too) as I was limited by the size of my satchel: HulioGreenMuff (my fuzz tastes change from day to day: until my IC Muff is fixed, this one's getting a lot of play) > Ibanez PM7 > GigFX Chopper > SMMH (this pedal was fucking immense today, can't stress enough how good it is).

Sweet, this'll be easy for me cause I don't like pedals!

If I were to have a board (might some day), let's see:

The EHX Hum Debugger is a must - just so useful. That's first. Then a tuner, probably the Pitch Black. I like a wah sometimes, probably my modded Crybaby. I could also see having reverb as an effect - probably whatever the most recent BOSS thing is.

Don't know if it counts, but I'd also add a small mic preamp in case I wanted to plug into the PA.

i only use russian big muff >> colorsound wah.
I suppose if i had to have 4 pedals, i'd get a delay and a flanger as well.

+1 hahahahaha

my pedalboard consists of my amp's foot switch, a tuner, an eq, and a chorus, the latter two of which never get used. if all i had was a single channel amp, i could get away with the saltbooster and a tuner. . . and the tuner could taken off if you really wanted to get picky.

yep, Mudhoney went back on five minutes after started playing. this rig right there would keep me happy, i can get all the sounds i need out of that lot. 3 pedals.

TU2 - TOD1 - Crunchbox - TC Nova delay

Man, I love the look of Fender Tweed stuff.

When I get round to building my own cab I'm gonna do it in tweed. I might try and build my own tweed case for my Jag as well.

down to four pedals ? pretty easy i guess, tgd, saltboost, behringer delay and pitch shifter.

the strat is getting a lot of love at the moment. i've setup up the action and shiz and it sounding really nice.

Boss PS-5 > modified ProCo 'Twat' > Boss DD-6 > Korg DT10 tuner

That'd serve me well, seeing as the PS-5 can do chorus and delay at a pinch.

Supa-Trem and Polychorus would do alone if I had my superbass or superlead w/ppimvs

TS9DX - DD-5 - TR2 - MXR Micro Chorus

What's the point in building pedals for Tim, it's not like he even likes or uses them?

Just you wait until the Ikea board of doom is finally assembled, young Livesley.

Then you'll know disappointment.
