Not sure we've done one of these before, but it seemed appropriate enough. Some of us buy a LOT more of one type of effect than another, so you can rate based on how much you buy it, or how much you enjoy one particular effect you have.
BEFORE YOU VOTE: Please classify boxes such as the BDDI, VT Bass, M-80, Tone Hammer or BDI21 under preamps, unless you use them strictly as dirt units.

right now, i'd say digitech whammy - sort of a class of its own. i've been using mine for the 2 octave up stuff, for solos- its really sick. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: College Station, Texas | | | I guess Fuzz, considering I have three right now and have gone through three more. So I've owned 6.
Compared to two chorus pedals, two flanger, one compressor, two wahs, one pitch shifter, five overdrives, two delays, one phaser, two autowahs, and more.
So I guess fuzz, then overdrive, which tallied up all together is 11 different pedals throughout my tenure. |

And as you know Freaqy, I combine them!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Zagreb, Croatia | | I picked other modulation because I use chorus/flanger/phaser effects equally and can't pick both. Wah'd probably follow.
Should've made this a multiple-choice poll.

|  | I'm a tumbler, born under punches | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Northern California | | So overdrive, distortion and fuzz each get their own category while chorus and flanger have to share and tremolo doesn't even make the list? I see how it is.
I love filters, tremolos and delay but phasers are my favorite. |
06-17-2009, 02:55 PM
| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Virginia Beach, VA | | Bah! I forgot tremolos. I knew I missed something. 
I forgot Ring Modulation too. That's different enough from everything else to have one on its own.
If two more effects can be found that were not added, I'll request deletion of this thread and reboot it.

| | | | its a dead tie currently, three of each, comps, filters, chorus, octaves......by the end of the week i should be getting one flanger and one synth. which will raise the number of those on my board to three also.
something has to go soon, but its all so much fun. |

What about boost/gain, or EQ, do they count as effects?

Then again, I suppose the same can be said about tuners, but tuners have no effect on your tone or signal (at least, no intended effect.)

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: North Dakota | | | I voted for the 1st one, but would also add compression. Right now I am using a tuner, nothing else. I try to like/want/need other stuff but when I have it at a gig I never seem to use it. It never seemed to translate to the FOH mix. Maybe I just didn't use "extreme" enough settings. |

| | | | Toss up between filters and compressors. My DBX 166A is one of the best purchases I've made. I love my BASSIQ but I also want a 3 leaf and a cool tremolo. I voted for compression. |

Accessories Sales Associate, Guitar Center Rancho Cucamonga, CA | | Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Upland, California | | By amount purchased in the past: Envelope Filter
(After checking, I've gone through 16 different ones  . A small amount compared to some on here, but more than I expected! Two currently on the board, one coming back after it's repaired.)
By most enjoyed: Fuzz/OD/Dist
By most used: chorus/flanger  |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Wakefield, UK | | I voted phaser. Although I'm without phaser at the moment, I'm hoping to get a Small Stone or another Phase 90 (a Quasar would be great  ). That list seems pretty comprehensive but I would split up chorus and flanger
