Desert Island pedal

[Rolling Thunder]

First of all, I'd like my deserted island to be jungle with a mountain. Screw the desert.

As for pedal, big box EHX Memory Man for sure.

No more goodness can be found in one small pedal...

Pedal or a paddle?

because a paddle would be very helpful

My Cooper FX Arcades. It will take forever to unlock everything it does.

this count? I don’t have one but it is technically one… pedal


If not, probably the hx stomp I’d want something that can make a bunch of different sounds

Excluding tuners/noise gates/loopers/etc.

Do you mean "loopers" as in signal routing loopers, or "loopers" as in looping delays? If the latter, your exclusion seems totally arbitrary.

Actually, even if the former it might be semi-somewhat arbitrary...although I guess in the hypothetical world of Desert Island Pedals you can only have one pedal by definition.But I find a signal routing looper -- or, more acurately, a 2-loop selector/flip-flopper -- to be practically mandatory as soon as the other pedals in your collection exceed the count of 3 or 4.

But for the record, my Desert Island Pedal is a looping delay...specifically, the original (circa 1980) Electro-Harmonix 16-Second Digital Delay.

Solar-powered looper with a headphone jack. Sorry, that's the it for me.

I'll take my Grease Juicer for sure!

Something that would alert the Coast Guard.

Yep;

 

[matdras]

Comp is my favorite, but I voted delay because if I’m stuck on an island by myself that’d be the most interesting!

 

[eddybuzzard]

I didn't realize my desert island could have electricity...

This is a valid point

Silly enough, I have been getting most of my tone out of an Empress compressor set to mid hump tone colour... but I know if I had to narrow down my pedalboard to one, the last to go would be the BDDI.
