You can only have two effects pedals...

Compressor and a fuzz

 

[gumbynotpokey]

Not counting a tuner, buffer, or DI, you get two FX pedals.

Do you need two? Or want two? If so, what are they?

Presently for me it's an Analogman Juicer (always) and a SUF Black Russian (for just a few parts). Plus buffer/tuner.

I would choose a wah for the electric guitar, and a reverb for the electric guitar.



Carrots, best bass for metal, tort pickguard on a P with flats, and all that jazz (no pun intended). YMMV. Carry on, TB.

That is correct, I only have two effects pedals. That's all I have ever needed.

Overdrive
Reverb

Boom. Done.

I was going to stay out of it but I have to say: Your premise is incomplete:

I'll presume you're excluding modellers and multifx. But are you running into an amp or direct?

But my answer is compressor and EQ as that's basically what's in my modeller. Okay. EQ two compressors and EQ. But similar concept.

A MIDI switcher and an expression pedal for all my rack stuff.

Boss Bass Chorus
Boss Octaver

Plus the Boss pwr supply/tuner

That'll work

One dirt pedal and one noise pedal.

 

[LoTone]

Chorus and Octaver.

 

[pcake]

i almost never play with any pedals. if i had to choose 2, a pre-amp with true bypass so i could suddenly change my sound and maybe a compressor.

 

[Standalone]

I use chorus a lot in jams, but the
Octave and Envelope Filter are the real
Crowd pleasers in my genre and those would be my go-tos

I love the Distortion Wah personally, but I do think *all* wahs benefit from having some clean bass underneath so it doesn't drop out the lows too much when you wah. I'm running mine in a crossover loop from my HXFX where it has clean lows and just sends above-300hz through the effects. note: The same series Fuzz Wah sounds better with a full-freq parallel blend, I've found.

EDIT to add: Most of the time, pedals is pedals. Bass/guitar doesn't matter too much, but, bass-specific pedals tend to have things like clean blends built into them to preserve the lows, or different frequency centers, things like that. The Morley wahs are almost certainly tuned more for guitar, but I think they sound good enough - supplement with some dry in parallel to keep the bottom down and you're good to go.

Just picked one up at GC today as they had one in stock. Can't wait to try it out.

That’s all I have on my board now. Fdeck High Pass Filter and Empress Bass Compressor. Might consider swapping the HPF out for a Broughton HPF/LPF.

A noise gate and a buffer!
