If you could only keep 3 pedals.....

I just answered the Four Pedal Solution thread and now I gotta ditch one of those even?!

I could do my regular **** with dirt/flanger/delay but my freakout **** requires a ring modulator. **** all that, I quit. I'm going back to the tone is in my fingers camp and playing air bass.

Easy on those energy drinks there nad. ;)


I suppose asking you what sole 2 pedals you would render to would be a question that is inapropriate?
 
Why am I limited to three? Small pedalboard? I'll buy a bigger one. Bossy bandmates? I'll quit. Overbearing woman? Kick her to the curb. Oppressive totalitarian regime? I'll foster a revolution. I will obliterate everything imposing these rules upon me with righteous anger! I will collapse the house of my enslavement in a fiery pillar of vengeance! I WILL DESTROY MY ENEMIES AND BUILD A BRIDGE TO FREEDOM FROM THEIR BONES!

Can we get a sticky for this thread now?
 
The title of the thread is what 3 PEDALS would you keep. Not effects. I think your tuner pedal counts.

Tuner (Boss TU-2)
Compressor (BBE OptoStomp)

That's all I use at the moment and sometimes not even these.

Some sort of EQ/Drive would be my 3rd (maybe an RC Booster or Preamp)
 
Korg Pitchblack
EBS MultiComp
and I'll let you know when my Hardwire CR-7 arrives whether it gets the final spot.
if not, it's a tough call...probably my Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive (although the SA BDDI is a close competitor for usefulness)
