What would they be? I'm talking stompboxes here rather than like..."station" pedals. I guess Whammys are allowed...

For me:

  • Overdrive

  • Vox-Wah

  • Chorus
  • I'd probably take either the Boss or Digitech Overdrive/Chorus pedals....but you don't necessarily have to be specific.

    Assuming I have a decent amp with a proper reverb:

    -EQ
    -Volume
    -Compressor

    Accelerator
    Brake
    Clutch

    ... ?

    Actually I do have three for my guitar too
    Tube Screamer
    WahWah
    and,erh...some kind of dirstortion

    But I don't use neither of them a lot. It's kinda my intention to be better at playing first before I experiment too much with sound. IMO, pedals may make me sound better than I am - I'm not interested in that. Practice first. Pedal bonus later. But that's just me

    i dont actually have any pedals, but the top 3 on my list to get are:
    cry baby wah
    delay
    big muff fuzz

    This is my signature. Fear it.

    I don't have any pedals at all, so I can't really say for sure as I don't have the experience of owning them. But I have some ideas...

    A Wah Wah, for sure.

    Fuzz box of some sort.

    A looper pedal. I'm getting one for X-mas and I know I'm going to love it!

    A tremelo would be cool to, but those top three are the essentials for me at the moment.

    Wah
    versatile fuzz/distortion
    delay
    (Close 4th would be EQ)

    I have:

    EQ
    Overdrive
    Wah (Cry Baby)

    I also have a tape echo unit, which doesn't count as a "pedal" :lol:

    The overdrive is not really for playing through an amp, but for input into the pc - my amp's overdrive is more than adequate (I'm currently running a 12AT7, a 12AX7 gives me much more distortion, but also as much less clean).

    If I was to remove the overdrive, I'd probably replace it with a chorus pedal.

    I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
