Just in case the studio doesn't have a DI worth a %#[email protected] really want an Avalon, though...
For effects, I usually just bring in my specialty stuff, and my Boss VF-1. Experience has shown me that any "decent" studio (home or pro) will have better effects processors than any pedal I could bring in. The VF-1 works great straight into the desk, though. Anyway, here's the others:
The absolute bare essential for me would be ART Tube MP and Zoom 607 or Digitech BP8 depending on the studio. For live right now I am using the Art Tube MP as a DI and also a line driver into a Boss PSM-5, EHX Bass Balls, Akai Unibass, Akai Deep Impact and Zoom 607 for everything else.
