Here is what I am rolling with. :) Tuner > Memory Man > Super Chorus > Hoof Reaper > Amp

The Memory Man and Super Chorus are fun to play around with on their own or with the dirt. I use the reverb on my amp. The Reaper I run like an overdrive and the Hoof I add to it as dirt/lead noise.

Here's one from the other day.

That said I just ordered some stuff to go stereo. :whistle:

my pedalboard is down to one actual "effect" - Catalinbread Belle Epoch Deluxe. Other than that, it's a tuner, an expression pedal, and an ABY.

I'm starting to thin down my setup a little. Only took the shock of a few pedal related technical issues at gigs. Still heavily rely on pedals as I'm the only vocalist and only guitarist in a 3 piece band.

So at the very minimum, I need a dirt pedal (or else i'd be lugging my larger amp/footswitch around), EHX 720 looper and some sort of delay.

This is what I use. I mostly just use the large silver pedal for various overdrive sounds with reverb. But I'm a trem/vibrato lover and it's nice to have that on tap. The delay I rarely use except for the blastoff switch occasionally.
