Every once in a while I pull out all my pedals and give'm hell... then most of them get put away until next time.
I "need" a delay in the loop... a must have, and just got the Strymon Timeline (thanks for the recommendation) with the Multi Switch... still trying out most of it's features, most I'll never use of course... of course... of course. Next I really like a Phaser and the EVH with it's higher input impedance and script switch, suits me best. The Smartgate is a very musical noise reduction pedal, it follows the note better imho. The 5150 Overdrive is a great "going to someone else's house" pedal. I can get a great "me" sound on any amp with it.
The rest are special use or colors I enjoy once in a while. So what do you guys step on?
