Your Hall-of-Fame pedals


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've had some great ones over the years and there are a few I wish I had back. One was the Ibanez CH-9 (I think) chorus. I don't like seasick chorus pedals and this one had a setting that was subtle enough that it was a "you don't know it's on until you turn it off" thing. I have a TC that is great, but much more complex and fiddly.

My all-time fave is still the MXR Micro-amp. Serves as a great front of the string buffer, plays very well with acoustic guitars (a big deal for me) and just the ticket to step out a little without messing with anything else. I've had the same one for decades. It's currently replaced on the board by a TC Spark only because that one will also put a little hair on there if you want it and there's only so much space on the board(s).

Fulltone Fulldrive 2 has been the only constant. I ran two for the longest time, then traded the newer Mosfet version for a Fulltone GT-500 (that I no longer use)

My favourite pedal is my Korg Pitchblack tuner. :lol:

But I also like my Catalyst and Fulldrive 1. And the old Phase 90 script logo and 70's Small Stone. My old 70's Electro Harmonix Zipper is a holy grail too, even if I don't use it that much.

That's interesting. I immediately bonded with the Workingman's Blue side of the Fish Factory. Couldn't find a bad tone in it. The Red Snapper side forced me to work with it until I found the sweet spot. Once I did, I was hooked, but I may not have put in the effort had I not liked the blue side so much.

Realize, BD, I live in the sticks and have never had the opportunity to try the Workingman's Blue OD, so it very well could be I would prefer it over the Snapper.

The thing I've liked so much about the Snapper is how I adaptable it is to those weird variations in tone I get sometimes when I turn on the amp (AC voltage variations? Changes in barometric pressure? Sun spots? Orientation of Schrodinger's cat in the box?) and the differences from guitar to guitar. :)

I have the Retro-sonic Phaser, it's great and doesn't tone suck... it just has a bit different bottom to it.

I don't use a ton of pedals, but the ones that I do like the best are:

* TU-2 (except for playing outdoors...)

The TU3 will solve all of your outdoor woes!
