If you could have one pedal?

gruveb · 10-31-2009, 11:42 PM

What would it be? I have four of them I love and not sure I could pick one. I have a version 1 OCD (#40 actually), a fulltone, fulldrive 2, and a BBpreamp...and a 73 electroharmonix small stone.

I think of them I'd probably take the fulldrive 2...but not sure...what about you?

My Barber Direct Drive

RichCI · 11-01-2009, 04:54 AM

Analogman King of Tone. So versatile that I bought a second one - one to use as a "mostly clean" boost with the master volume amp I use with my band and a second one to use as a dirt box for home.

Keeley modded (but done by yours truly) Boss BD-2 is the one I take when I've only allowed myself one pedal. I reckon I could get away with no pedals, but I'd feel kind of naked somehow...

MXR 10 band EQ (either KFK-1 or M-108).

This was the one I was going to post, it just does so much for the one pedal. I'm still debating between building one or buying. The 50 extra bucks is pretty much what I'd have to spend on the tools/finishing it anyway.

gruveb · 11-01-2009, 01:57 PM

I guess this question should have a condition.

For my twin reverb I'd want my BBpreamp.

For my univalve, I'd want either my delay or my small stone.

snaredrum · 11-01-2009, 01:59 PM

either my BYOC shredder or my Zvex box of rock clone. tricky one

FEARLESS9273 · 11-01-2009, 02:34 PM

my wah, i can get clean and distorted tones from my amp (even though the distortion is crap). i just find it more important to have variety than lots of the same thing (even if it is perfected)

Leumas · 11-02-2009, 02:52 PM

Wah. Actually, it's the only pedal I've ever used.

Goldtop75 · 11-02-2009, 10:48 PM

Digitech Hardwire Valve Distortion. Does everything great from low gain to high gain... Fantastic headroom, Great transparency and eternal sustain.

I don't know why I bother with other drive pedals anymore...

R8R6Ben · 11-04-2009, 09:55 AM

My Lovepedal Eternity, pretty much the only pedal I have been using for a long time now. I got one of the "magic" ones that sound amazing all the time.

jonesy · 11-04-2009, 10:00 AM

The only pedal I have really ever wanted/needed and I have owned and worn out quite a few in the past 30 years.

dynabite · 11-05-2009, 11:05 AM

Just one ?? It would be this, but I sold it in the 80's like an idiot. The Morley WVO, no pots, ac power and the vol part was controlled with sideways motion on the pedal - so you had vol/fuzz/wah at the same time.

Tel-Ray Morley Page

I still have the JH-1 Crybaby from the 80's with the Bradley sealed pot.

AlvisX · 11-05-2009, 11:18 AM

Luckily I have 3. The middle one I bought with my HS graduation money in '81 for 19.95 at Guitard Center,still in use today

OR

An AYH Blood Drive

darkr_reaver · 11-05-2009, 11:45 AM

I'd love to have an Empress ParaEQ pedal if I could only have ONE! But if it's out of the pedals I have already... Probably my Fulltone Catalyst. Just love how it sounds... =3

My Fulldrive2. It's like two pedals in one both. Or the Rockbox Boiling Point.
