Community Question: The one pedal

EffectsBay Community QuestionI realized today that I haven’t asked a community question in a while. Today’s video with Omar from The Mars Volta inspired me. In that video he was asked something like “If you had to pick one pedal to have for the rest of your life, what pedal would that be?” I thought that would be a great question here. Omar slightly buckled on that question and settled on a genre or type of pedal, but not here. What would be the one pedal that you would need to keep? For a second, I thought it would be easy but I’m feeling stumped as well.

Please comment below or on Facebook and Twitter. I’ll repost the results. Always fun to see what everyone has to say!

    my BYOC tri-boost, adds some very nice crunch with very little compression…

    I think I would have to have my Q-balls bass envelope. Bass is just bass without a filter. I need the funk.

    I’m going to assume multi effects pedals are out of the question? If so, easy answer for me – Boss FL2 flanger. I can get any range of chorus-ey, tremelo-ey, semi-phaser-ey (and of course flanger-ey) sound I need. If I want crunch, I can just push the amp harder. (I hope we’re not on a desert island.)

    My Malekko 616. Hard for me to live without an orange squeezer and volume pedal, but it’s awfully hard to fake delay.

    Cannot live without delay, and the best is my TimeFactor by Eventide. I love dirt, but I get is from my VHT or EVHII amps just fine.

    My Moogerfooger analog delay. I can pretty much get what I want with the right guitar/amp combo, but like the commenter above said – it’s awfully hard to fake delay.

    Definitely my Dwarfcraft Eau Claire Thunder, it’s the base of my tone. Plus it’s versatile enough and I love the feedback loop.

    Blackout Effectors Twosome Fuzz… you can get usable fuzz, distortion and even a clean boost from it.
