Your ONE Desert Island Stompbox...
So let's hear it...
...and please - no "honorable mentions" or any such nonsense!
If your house was on fire and you only had time to snag one pedal, what would it be?
For me, I would have to take my BJFE Honey Bee Overdrive. It's the one stompbox I can never see leaving my rig. The absolute perfect fit for a nice thumpy, low-end heavy, natural overdrive.
Keep in mind, I'm only starting this thread because my Echoczar/Angelbaby haven't arrived yet. Once they're here, I'm sure my decision will be much more difficult.
This should be fun!

Re: Your ONE Desert Island Stompbox...
Hmm .. the Honey Bee is a good choice, but I think I'd have to take a fuzz .. you can get overdriven sounds on a fuzz by rolling back the volume on your guitar, but you can't get fuzz on an overdrive.
The most versatile fuzz I've ever used would be the Fuzz Factory, so that'll be my choice, I think. Either that or the Sunface.

Moog analog delay. Half of what I play wouldn't sound right without it.

+1! I had some other boosters before but this seems to be the most musical ànd anarchistic one, depending on settingszhivago wrote: this one here...Zvex Super Duper..I could do any gig with just this pedal, a Jazzmaster and a tube amp of some sort....

At the moment, I'd say my Blues Driver. I know it's very 'common', but I really dig the skronk with it.
