[eggwheat]

These are my No 1..

[natthu]

In no particular order:

- Electro-Harmonix HOG2 with an expression pedal. Provides a plethora of interesting and usable sounds which are not necessarily typical of guitar.
- Boss DC-2. Produces a beautiful stereo spatial effect... kinda a bit wasted when used as a mono chorus.
- Boss CE-1. My favourite chorus, coupled with a useable vibrato. It's a shame it's so cumbersome.
- Strymon El Capistan. Awesome Tape delay emulator. Sounds very real, without the inconvenience of having to own an actual tape delay.
- Red Panda Particle. Makes weird and interesting sounds.
- Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi (any of the Green Russian versions). Excellent fuzz which retains a thumping low end.
- DingoTone HZD. I'm not actually too sure what it does, but to my ear it just makes everything sound "warm"... which I like.
- Fairfield Circuitry Four Eyes Fuzz. Versatile fuzz with unique control.
- Lexicon Vortex. Not strictly a pedal (it's a rack unit). Produces some of the most awesome morphing delay sounds.
- Electra Phase Shifter Number 875 (basically an old school EHX Small Stone). Subtle phaser, just the way I like them...

I have tried and previously owned a lot of pedals, which were also pretty good... just don't own them anymore... and if you were to ask me again next week this list would probably change.

For all the pedals I build this may be surprising but I only have 3 regular pedals on my board:

-DM-2 clone with dual BBD's for 600ms delay
-Much modded and experimented with semi-Crybaby
-SpaceVerb reverb pedal

There is an ever changing dirt space too, right now there is a Baldwin-Burns Buzzaround clone on there I got from a friend who also builds pedals, but I have been thinking of putting it in the FS section here lately!

[swing]

Well, i have just taken up the guitar and have yet to find a complete rig. But i doubt i will need 10 pedals. I have 3 atm and my mind set for another fuzz, a delay and a comp
But for now i driv

Quite a tough one for me, this. I'll nominate my EHX Little Big Muff in #1 position, as much for nostalgic reasons as tonal ones, but it's high-ranking in the latter stakes too.

The BYOC Tonebender Mk II clone is #2 followed closely by my modest Watson Tremolo: about £15-worth of pedal, but does what it needs to so well I sold my booteek trem when I got it as part of a multi-buy deal.

Echo-wise, i'm torn between my genuine analogue Boss DM-3 and my young upstart Danelectro Reel Echo which sounds great and is a bit more versatile. I like the digital delay on my Boss PS-3, too, and that's quite high-ranking as it's at least three FX in one box....somewhat like my Boss RV-2, which is so much more than just a simple reverb pedal, but is only just pipped at the post by my Muza M Ambience pedal which covers all the same ground but throws a looper into the mix too and lets you store 4 patches in the memory.

I like my Fulltone Catalyst, and not just for the obvious reason - it goes from a clean boost to fuzzbox via crunchy overdrive. I do seem to have a preference for pedals which aren't one-trick ponies, so on that basis I'd also nominate my Zoom UF01- a fuzzbox with many shades of mental.

Only one left? I guess if I was putting a pedal-board together and could only have one modulation effect I'd probably go for The Worm as it does the cocked wah thing, auto-wah, tremolo, vibrato and phaser. Some better than others, it has to be said, but there's enough in there to justify the real estate it takes up.

If I wanted to travel light and still have a useful sonic arsenal I'd probably go Catalyst>Tonebender>PS-3. That combo into an amp with tremolo and reverb would cover pretty much all the sounds I like to hear.

Hey,

I saw on the 10-Pedal thread that you made yourself a DM-2 clone. What would something like that run me? Because I'd definitely be interested if you were willing to make it....

[my bloody television]

I only own 8 pedals at the moment but they're all on my board and my board hasn't changed in well over a year so I guess they're all at the top.

LiveWire ABY switcher (for switching between Synth and Guitar)

Boss TU-2

Fulltone OCD

Handmade Germanium Fuzz (cross between a mkII tonebender and a fuzzface)

DMB Lunar Echo

Akai Headrush E2

Dr. Scientist Cosmichorus V2

Eventide Space

Is this supposed to be a PM?

[jorri]

probably are in order of usefullness:

EHX hazarai
BYOC mouse (rat)
eventide space
ocd (or mooer hustle!)
philosopher king (it is really about 5 in 1, all the 'boring' pedals in one(boost,eq,comp,), with extra swell/fade craziness)
vox vibravox
torns peaker
small stone
nobels bass overdrive (modded, more high end but still ridiculous amount of bass, and germanium diodes as was too smooth)
zcat polyoctave-chorus (octaver is ok, chorus is instant cocteau twins.)

am still exchanging pedals a lot though..a couple i'm looking at: strymon timeline, red panda particle, iron ether xerograph, mxr bass octave, expression pedal for various things.

[PorkyPrimeCut]

I think I only own 10 pedals now but I'll still rate them in terms of use...

6G15 Reverb Unit clone (well, it has a footswitch!)
BYOC Superfuzz (Leeds Fuzz)
BYOC Tonebender (ESV 2 Knob)
Vox Vibravox Tremolo/Vibrato
Harmonic Percolator
OCD clone
ProCo RAT (late 80's)
DOD 680 Analog Delay
EHX Stero Memory Man + Haz
Swollen Pickle

Oh, I have a BYOC Phase Royal that I'm likely to sell & replace with a harder hitting phaser or a wah (which I kinda miss).
