Use any criteria you like. No restrictions on price, size, options, etc. Which do you believe to be the most desired pedals for what ever reasoning? But please do list your reasoning.
Thanks!
-
Klon Centaur because it costs a hell of a lot of money (and sounds awesome)
Vintage TS808 because it's the original
Original MXR phase90 because of EVH
They're the three which I can think of as being mentioned far too much. :roll:
My own most wanted would be very different.
EDIT: Forgot the Fuzzface and Cry Baby. Duh!
-
Original Ibanez TS808 - because it's what all my heros used
Old late 60s VOX wah - because it sounds right
TC Electronic chorus/flanger pedal - because it was just the best for what it does
ADA Flanger - because I want to make "Aint Talking Bout Love sound perfect
Marshall Guvnor (original one ) - because Gary Moore made Still got the blues
And this one:

-
1. Echoplex or Fulltone Tube Tape Echo
2. Eventide TimeFactor
3. Eventide ModFactor
4. Some kinda wah
That's about it.

Hey woww!! Do you stock those? :lol:
I don't really use pedals much (not counting that my "amp" setup is a pedal nowadays, a VOX Tonelab LE or a Line6 PODXTLive). But I did used to use, and still have, the following in most of the gigs I did:
Marshall Guvnor (the original one! :D)
Cry Baby (not sure who it's made by, all the labels have worn/fallen off, bought it new circa '82)
They went straight in the front of a 50W single channel M/V combo, and I could do anything I wanted with that little lot!
-
If we're talking about modern day pedals still in production, the waiting lists would suggest these:
1. Analogman King of Tone v4
2. Analogman Bi-Comprossor
3. Klon Centaur
4. Landgraff ODs
5. BJFE Pine Green Compressor
I've owned (2) and was pretty dissappointed. I now have (5) and love it. There's no way in hell I'd pay $900 for a Klon though!!!
-
1 Fulltone OCD - 100% bypass, no noise. Built like a tank
2 Keeley Blues Driver - takes the Boss Blues Driver and revs it to the clouds
3 Blackstar HT Dist - classic distortion and 100% valve driven
4 Vox Satchurator - brand new pedal for classic Satriani tones and boost
5 Fulltone Fat Boost - beautiful clean boost without colouring tone. 100% true bypass. Built like a tank
IMHO Fulltone pedals are the best on the planet.
-
IMHO Fulltone pedals are the best on the planet.
Certainly among them, no question about it. I used to own a Fat Boost and Full-Drive 2. Great stuff.
-
Been thinking about the Fulldrive 2. Whaddyareckon?
-
thundertomate phil hilborne treble booster - twilight recommended it, and i like the treble booster setting on my tonelab, and i like iommi's treble booster tone.
korg pitch black - looks like a cool tuner
maxon tube screamer - whichever the one is with true bypass, i'll mod then it to old skool specs
tech21 sansamp character british - i use the gt2 and like it, but am fussier these days and want a better marshall tone
tech21 midi mouse or similar - midi patch change stomp box for tonelab when its fixed
edit: have just ordered the phil hilborne, so we'll see what its like when it arrives.
-
Boss TU-2, happy little tuner
Rat, for low, thick overdrive
Vintage spec big muff, for mental, THICKER scuzz.
Analogue delay, under 300ms delay, perfect
Hi gain distortion, based on a soldano slo 100 amp, pure meat.
I has 4 of them, the slo kit is on its way to me. i don't like effects that much.
-
Vintage spec big muff, for mental, THICKER scuzz.
I had a Dice Works 'Muff Diver' delivered today. I've been having great fun with it for the past few hours, it's spot on for the vintage muff thing.
Top five desirable though, a combination of expensive old things and newer things I'd like to own:
1) original univibe
2) 60's Clyde McCoy wah
3) 60's germanium Fuzz Face
4) WH-1 Whammy
5) Barber Tone Press

+1 on the TC Electronic chourus Flange!
here are my 5:
1. Mad Professor Mellow Yellow Tremolo
2. Maxon Phase Tone PT-999
3. EHX 16 second delay
4. TC Electronic chorus flange
5. Digitech Whammy (mark 1 original)
the price of these things are a lot when combined!
I have most of my favourites already so these are only extras.
-
I do own a tonelab....but mainly this week
Maxon Tscreamer
BYOC ratt
Original Drive master(might change for original Guv'nr..sold mine stupidly)
A Digiverb Reverb
And last but not least My Ht-dual
and can any tell me how to get a nice sound out of an original Deluxe Electric mistress, was given it as a mate hated it, lent to a mate to try and he had no luck either
-
I'm really not very knowledgeable about pedals, when I buy them at all they tend to be impulse buys because I read a glowing review, or they were at bargain prices, or I just liked the "look" of them. But I would like to try or get hold of:
Korg Pitchblack tuner
Visual Sound Angry Fuzz
Some kind of Uni-vibe (for Robin Trower sounds!)
Some of those old Lovetone pedals (are they still around?)
MXR Phase 90 (because I can't think of anything else :oops: )
-
Original Ibanez TS808 - because it's what all my heros used
Old late 60s VOX wah - because it sounds right
TC Electronic chorus/flanger pedal - because it was just the best for what it does
ADA Flanger - because I want to make "Aint Talking Bout Love sound perfect
Marshall Guvnor (original one ) - because Gary Moore made Still got the blues
And this one:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v662/felineguitars/FUNNIES/talentpedal.jpg)
Is that a real pedal? I mean, I know that it can't do what the knobs indicated is it an overdrive pedal or something like that. If so, I want one just for kicks. :D
-
(1) 60s Clyde McCoy Wah - gotta have a wah and this is the King of them imo.
(2) original RAT - trademark fat mids, Jeff Beck used one (nuff said).
(3) Univibe - for those swampy Hendrix grooves, nothing else will do.
(4) MXR Dynacomp - classic heavy compression and useful solo boost too.
(5) EH Memory Man - smooth delays, the only delay pedal I've regretted selling.
I could cover almost anything with that lot.
-
OD1
Didn't that have some asymmetrical clipping or something special at the time?
I thought it was thought quite highly of, but has had no representation here. although I have not played one..
-
1, MXR Distortion+ (coz thats how eddie did it really)
2, Jim Dunlop Crybaby (coz no rig is complete without one)
3, Phase 90 (yes u know u want one)
4, Klon Centaur (just coz it's so freaking boutique it hurts my brain)
5, Tube Screamer (coz they rock)
-
Alright, there is a real trend here with people listing the Klon Centaur. I have listed to a few clips on youtube and I have to admit that I'm just not seeing the emperors clothes here. That doesn't mean that they are not there, of course.
Has anyone famous used this pedal? Does anyone here have or have any of you had one?
Where is the magic?
-
I tried one in Vintage & Rare once on Denmark St. and I was EXTREMELY impressed with it. I thought it was sort of like the ultimate Tubescreamer, but very much improved upon. Then again i was using it between a Custom Shop reissue Les Paul into a Cornell Plexi 7 (I think!). I'm sure a Behringer overdrive would've sounded awesome in that setup!
-
OD1

the OD1 does sound pretty nice and is WAY under-appreciated. it does indeed have asymmetrical clipping and is very similar to the SD-1 that came after it as the new 'improved' version except that the SD-1 has a tone pot fed by one half of the opamp, hence the mid hump
-
I have an early Klon, and the great thing about them is that they are very transparent sounding. They add just the right amount of edge and drive without affecting the tone of the guitar. I had avoided this thread because I might actually have a lot of the pedals that people are listing (I have an original MXR phase 90 (and phase 100), original JEN Cry Baby, original tone bender, hot cake, v-twin, etc). But since I am now replying, these are my top 5
Original Watkins Tube Copycat
Boss CE-1 Chorus
Foxx Tone machine
WEM Wah Wah
MXR Blue Box
I admit the copycat isn't a pedal, but I used to have one that had been modified to include an extra playback head and the sound was great into a Selmer T&B 50. The WEM wah was unusual in that there was no on-off switch, so it is always in the signal path. I should never have got rid of mine!!
-
For me the options would be
Tube driven Binson Echorec (following Phils non pedal sized effect)
Early Tonebender Fuzz
Early Vox wah
Early Rat
and I'm undecided between a CE-1 Chorus, Univibe or a nice thick early Phaser
-
I don't normally use many pedals. I'm pretty happy with the pedals I have:
H&K Tube Factor (one of the greatest tube overdrives ever);
Old Ibanez CS9 Chorus (THE chorus sound of the 80's);
Boss RE-20 Space Echo (95% of the RE-201 tape unit sound, 0% of the hassle);
Dano Shift Daddy (cool echo with wah-like controls that looks like a car. I don't use it anymore but I'm keeping it for the looks);
AMT Metalizer (fun, characterfull, hairball distortion).
What would I want more?
A decent tremolo;
A good tube screamer;
A Wah;
A Whammy.
-
Here's my top five based off things I own, have owned, or have tried and will own soon, rather than vintage things I've only heard on recordings.
Korg Pitchblack Tuner
Skreddy Top Fuel
Eventide Timefactor
Skreddy Lunar Module
Keeley Compressor
I own the top two, have the middle one on order, and will have the last two very soon :D
-
Boss DC-3
Boss DM-2
Digitech Space Station
Jetter Gain Stage Blue
Vintage TS808

thundertomate phil hilborne treble booster - twilight recommended it, and i like the treble booster setting on my tonelab, and i like iommi's treble booster tone.
...
edit: have just ordered the phil hilborne, so we'll see what its like when it arrives.
i must admit i'm slightly baffled by what exactly the DIP switches are doing. i'd love some proper manual for it. also it hums mightily with a PSU. its early days, however i can tell you:
1) sound quality is great
2) i like it alot, even if i didn't get the best out of it yet
3) bass response can be thin or strong, and points in between - but it always remains tight
