Only one ? Darn, I like my BMS into my DL-8. Since it is only one, Korg Pitch Black, need to be in tune for the natives.

It becomes a very different pedal being able to control the lo and hi sweeps.

Right now it would be my JHS custom pre-amp-overdrive.

Based on an early SVT, this is a great on all the time pedal..

Nice clean tones, to big tube overdrive.

It have become a big part of my sound.

Wow this is hard! Overall if I could only pick one it would have to be my Russian Big Muff only because it's one of three pedals my wife decorated. It also has bigger caps, gate knob, voltage starve knob and self oscillation switch....they'll find me with all the noise I'll make!

RC-20XL or whatever currently kicks the crap out of that loop-wise.

I think a decent delay pedal would work.

heck even if all your strings broke you could still make noise with it. by taping the cord and giving it a good feedback whirl...weeeeee...gah bbah zeek bla bla blah zip
