Favorite pedal...

[CTC564]

Which pedal (that you own) is your favorite and please explain why...

For me...it's my new GR2...I've had a few filters in the past but the quality of the construction, flexibility of the controls and THE SOUND is just buttery smooth delicious!!!

My all time fave is a modded EHX Bass Balls.
My favorite distortion is the Fuzz Nutz Textone, pictured above.

Human Gear Animato. With the clean blend I get from the Boss LS-2, this distortion accents the guitar distortion perfectly.

I'm most fond of my Drasp Modded (Line6) DL4.

[NoiseNinja]

My Small Stone phaser second by my Wooly Mammoth.

[CopperheadLXXIX]

Eventide Space...the reverb algorithms are all amazing sounding, plus it does distortion, delay, chorus, tremolo & more depending on settings. Lots of knobs, 100 presets. Total tweakers dream.

[OriginalSnub]

Supercollider is probably my favorite especially when it comes to fuzz.

[Swift713]

BJFE Blueberry Bass Overdrive. All hype aside this pedal has a warm, low gain overdrive that just puts a smile on my face. It's very responsive and while it may not be the most flexible dirt pedal, I can coax some fairly different tones out of it by adjusting my bass's preamp.

I know I'm going to catch a lot of grief for this...

Bass Pod XT. It seems like if you spend enough time with it, you can get some good effects out of it. I use it all the time, mostly with it's EQ and amp selector. And in a band setting, any issues I may have with the sound are unnoticeable (to me).

I like them all...

[RickenBoogie]

+1 couldn't pick one, that's why I have several different boards, BUT- these 2 control everything else, and I couldn't get by without them, so...

What kind of mod?

[behndy]

shhhhheeeeed. i'm with Matter. i'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite FUZZ, let alone all over effect.

Filter's easy, Xerograph, Octaver's probably the Aggie Octo, Delay/Chorus/Verb/Time Modulated - M9 for versatility and save spots.

Fuzz.... woof. IE Oxide for all around most accesible tones, Pickle Pie B for easy dial in cutting through'ness, TAFM for Face MELTING.....

so.... nope. couldn't pick a favorite.

[sillyfabe]

This is hard because I have a few favorite pedals so I'll narrow it down by type.

Octaver: Boss OC-2 Octave FTW
Fuzz: have to list two. Planeta Fuzz wooly mammoth clone and Fender Sub-Lime Bass Fuzz.
Wah-Wah: Wah-Wah Whale Dunlop 105Q Bass
Envelope Filter: 3 Leaf-Audio Groove Regulator MK I
Tremolo: Watermelon Crawl Make Sounds Loudly Tremolazer
Modulation: Boss BF-2 Flanger
Delay: Boss DD-7 Digital Delay and Strymon El Capistan
Weird/Fun: Pump N Dump Montreal Assembly Wrong Side of Uranus and Electro-Harmonix Polyphonic Octave Generator 2 POG2

Whatever pedal i just bought. At least for the first week. But I'd have to say my Carbon Copy isn"t going any were for a long while.

[mattfong]

at the moment, EHX Flanger Hoax. It's insanely versatile... musical sounds as well as self-oscillating madness... flanger, phaser, ring modulator, tremolo, chorus, and more all in one box. And it's not a multi-effect.

I usually have it set on a (sort of) chorus-y type sound that is the secret to my synth tones, in conjunction with my octave pedal. It's incredible.

[TheWoodShed]

Easy...My modded CW Muff (added 9v and true Bypass). She's beat all to bejeebus, but the tone with my EMG 35DC's and ACG Filter based pre is just incredible.

[theory028]

My favorite pedal is probably my Aphex Bass Xciter. I really only use it to record bass and acoustic guitars. When used wisely, the results are quite impressive. Acoustic guitars sound really warm and full when being processed by the Xciter. I'm a fan.

I don't own a lot of pedals anymore but I really dig the Xciter. I'm considering the option of adding a Sansamp BDDI to my recording chain but the Xciter will probably be here to stay, regardless.

[s_mcsleazy]

erm theres 2 that i cant do without.


SALTBOOSTER


muff

tbh they will have to do untill they invent one of these

[caeman]

I am able to answer this question easily...my EQ pedal. I play most clean for 99% of the songs in church and my EQ pedal is my always-on pedal. It gives my passive pups a small level boost, allows me to tame some of the stranger harmonics and such.
