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

[Sav'nBass]

This thing is absolutely great.... The more I play with it the more I like it.. Versatile, up to 400 tones... 200 presets and 200 user defineable... clean... a 38 second looper.. very easy to use... flexible as all get out... The last pedal I will ever need... I cant imagine an easier one with all that this has to offer...

 

[Gus Borden]

1. Line 6 M9

2. Electronix GeminiDrive MKII

3. Possibly a wah/volume pedal (haven't decided between an organic, separate one or to grab the Line 6 expression pedal and go that route)

 

[Volume4]

Aslo not counting the tuner as a pedal....

Catalinbread SFT
EH Bass Big Muff
VT Deluxe *

* I know it's not out yet, I sold my VT to get the SFT knowing I'd get the VT Deluxe when it comes out.

 

[Pilgrim]

TU2 Tuner - Digitech Baddest Bad Monkey (Humphreys mod) overdrive - Behringer reverb.

I use the reverb about 10 times as much as the overdrive.

I don't have any real experience with a lot of pedals, but I think a truly practical pedalboard for me would hold:

Tech 21 SansAmp DI
Boss TU-2 Tuner
Boss GEB-7 Bass EQ

 

[BassMonstrum]

I think I would prefer two pedals, because I wouldn't be able to choose the third one.

Korg Pitch Black tuner
Sansamp BDDI

I would pick those in a heartbeat...

 

[Altitude]

This answer is someting of a cheat - I would only keep one, my Boss GT-10B. I took some time to learn and understand it so that I could effectively program it to provide what I want out of a processor (which is really not very hard at all). It is so flexible and powerful, and so simple compared to a board full of pedals, each having its own power cable and connection leads, etc - that I will never come back.

Aside from a little lack of flexibility with the synth, I find its effects to be of very high quality, too.

Check the classifieds for some of my old pedals soon.

At this point:

- Musket
- Turbo Tuner
- Jet Phaser

[BioDriver]

Well seeing as I've gone back on what I said earlier....

3 Leaf Audio Groove Regulator
MXR BOD (until I get my hands on an Aguilar Octamizer and like it better)
Subdecay Echobox

 

[roysloco]

Currently:
Boss tuner -> Boss Cs3 -> Sansamp para DI

... but I'd love to try (£££'s allowing ;o) :
Boss tuner -> mxr dynacomp -> aguilar tone hammer

 

[loopee]

Currently
Boss TU-2 Tuner

Xotic BB Bass Preamp
Aphex Bass Exciter
Sansamp BDDI (for DI mostly) will be looking into the ToneHammer or Tri Logic or DHA?

 

[The_NoBody]

Whit the little experience i have in effect, i go whit this:

-A tuner...
-A envelope filter, like a Qtron...
-A Sansamp PBDDI

But, maybe just a good multi effect... that count ? But, i don't know if i can live longer without my Sansamp*!

He also said 'you gotta have it' when referring to his distortion.

Now I don't know what to believe.

OC-2>Pigtronix Disnortion>Pigtronix EP-1 (tuner in trigger sidechain, not a pedal)

I'd have to lose my bassballs, but I've already sold my DL4 and BMS. No big loss.

With an EXP on the sweep, I have a phase wah. Does an EXP count?
If so, hallelujah!
