How many pedals do you use besides a tuner.

[JediRabbit]

I've got one, A Crybaby Wah that is never used. What does everyone else have? Are you big into effects, or do just have that trusty one or two pedals. Or are you a straight into the amp kind of purist?

i like to mess around with them at home, live i'll use an overdrive and Eq if they wont let me crank my amp.

Speaking you are in the pedals section you might get a little selection bias going on. I run 7 pedals besides a tuner, and I still have half a pedal board to fill. I like effects, but I also like plugging straight in sometimes...generally depends on what mood I am in and if I am too lazy to set up my board when I get home . I have 3 gain pedals (Fuzz, Distortion, and Overdrive), Phaser, Wah, Tremolo, and Delay. Next step octave effects!

[gibsonguitar1988]

12 besides the tuner.... Most of them are different gain flavors and amp in a box pedals to get me the different distortion tones I need. Also use a compressor, phaser, and a delay.

[mdubya]

Most times I just plug in 1 pedal, if any at all. Maestro Fuzz or Zvex Distortron most often these days. Lot's of times I never end up stepping on it.

[Adrian81]

My current setting :

Guitar -> Wah (Dunlop) -> Tuner (Boss TU-3) -> Equalizer (Boss GE-7) -> Compressor (MXR Dynacomp) -> Overdrive (TS-9) -> Overdrive (Boss BD-2) -> Amp

I can change the second overdrive with SD-1 (depends on situation) , but the other pedals are fixed in my board.

and oh yeah.... I can't live without my compressor pedal... it is a MUST ...

[ed1996]

My set up: Guitar>tuner>Bling WTF fuzz>amp.

Got the exact same thing you do,and I never use it.All I use is what comes with the amp.

[TeaForTwo]

I own a variety of effect pedals, and continue to collect more....I'll stop when I reach 100 or so pedals....Sometimes I use none, sometimes one, sometimes more, depending on the recording I'm working on....

[diceman]

MIJ reissue Tubescreamer, UK Marshall Bluesbreaker, and a Boss DD7 (I think it is) delay.

[CodeMonk]

Tuner > Modded GCB-95 > Modded Boss CS-3 > Swollen Pickle > TS-808 > Modded TS9DX > Hardwire TL-2 > Box Of Rock > Fulldrive 2 MOSFET > MXR 10 band > Boss GE-7 > G-String > Boss PS-5 > Boss DD-7 > MXR EVH Phase 90 > VS Liquid Chorus > Nova Delay (Added an external preset switch) > VS Volume Pedal > AC30

Answer: 18 pedals.
The Swollen Pickle gets swapped out with my latest build quite often though.

I mostly just jam with friends and focus mainly on rhythm so I like to have a lot of options.

[Hector Arcadius]

Hm... not as many as I would like to have. Currently I'm down to:

Wah => Fuzz/Distortion => Distortion => Delay


What I have in mind, for a complete pedalboard, is:

Wah => Compression => Overdrive => Fuzz/Distortion => Distortion => heavier distortion => Delay => modulation (of all sorts)


I'm slowly getting there...

[kboman]

The poll options didn't suit me at all. This is what I use:

[one of three fuzzes] -> od1 -> od2 -> boost -> od3 -> chorus -> delay

Looking for a bigger board so I can have all three fuzzes on there, as well as another delay and the Strymon Flint. Also need to add a volume pedal and a tuner. I have no illusions that it will stop there, but that will get me >95% of the sounds I want.

[CHUNKYNECK]

I run about 9 pedals and a tuner. They consist of 2 overdrives and a fuzz, vibe,trem,delay and boost,phase, wah. I use pedals to get me as close as possible to a song i'm doing a cover of and my boost is on most of the time. The poll didn't really cover my choices but it all depends on what effects are used in the songs i'm covering and i buy my pedals accordingly.

[Job-Job type Job]

CS3, Bad Horsie wah

[snaredrum]

i don't know which one to click, as i have aspects of two or three of them and there isn't an "all of them EVER" option.

my chain is guitar > wah > volume > [the rest of these are in this order but in a girig pro14 switching system, so different variations of them can be switched on/off] > tuner in aux out > Wampler Triple Wreck > boss BD-2(modded) > EH Freeze > Boss BF-2 > Boss PH-2> TC Alter ego > Strymon El Capistan > Boss RT-20 > amp.

and no, i don't need to see a therapist as the first step is admitting you have a problem and i'm nowhere near that yet

[Rich]

I have a shitload of pedals I goof around with at home but, on the board I use with my band, there are five besides my tuner:

treble booster
vibe
flanger
delay
overdrive/boost

[PraXis]

12? lol

[kingedb]

I've become a pedal whore. I'm truly addicted. I lost count. Never bought a tuner pedal. I use a Snark. I don't have a pedalboard yet either. I just link a few together depending on my mood.

I'm still trying to find my way.

[Thunder Dump]

One--Hardwire Tube Overdrive. All I need. Everything else I get from the amp and the guitar.

[Boppy]

It seems I have two of everything--dirt, modulation, delay.
Also, I have ONE compressor and a wah.

Dirt and ambient delay are integral to my sound, so I could do major de-population on my board and not really miss all that much.

[studio1087]

I have tuner - compressor - overdrive - tremolo - delay - reverb on each board.

I use the trem and delay sparingly.

I own over 60 pedals but I like to try and collect pedals.....I've been doing so for 20+ years.

There's a big spread between what I use every day and what I have. Pedals are fun. Looking for intersting deals on ebay and the forum is a favorite past time.

[joff]

I have 7 pedals at the moment...i play as a hobby and for fun but i didn't just randomly buy the pedals that i have...i have a Compressor, Overdrive, Silicon Fuzz, Germanium Fuzz, Distortion, Phaser and a Delay...and i have Reverb in my Mesa LSS.

or so i tell myself

[retrobob]

I really only depend on one pedal to achieve my sound. But have a collection of vintage pedals I pull off the shelf from time to time.

[bsruther]

Clean boost from my fulldrive 2 and a tuner.

[toneguy86]

Actually I don't have a pedal tuner. I use one that clips on my headstock. I just like it better. My pedal board is small (3 pedals) right now, but I have a few others I haven't sold still sitting in boxes just in case. Right now I have a Joyo ultimate drive into a VFE blues king into a Line 6 rotary simulator. Truth is I don't take any of them out all the time and if I use my Mesa amp I really don't need anything...although I like em for color and am loving the sound of the Line 6 more and more for some viby rhythm stuff. It just adds magic...but I try not to overuse it.

I sold a bunch of things recently that I had around--an old 70s Ibanez EQ, an original Thomas organ cry baby wah, a 70s Ibanez CE1 chorus...never used them though. Made pretty good ching on e-bay. More then I thought I would. I'm just getting back into using pedals at all...and like it. I'm not dependent on them though.

[Thumpalumpacus]

I keep an RP300A in the effects loop, for volume control, basic chorus and delay. It's pretty rare that I use any effects, though -- maybe 10% of the time.

I'm seriously considering getting a Peterson clip-on, it seems more sensible, but then I wouldn't have that immediate cut-off of a tuner pedal. Oh decisions...
