Your "MUST HAVE" Pedal?

[p0k]

Probably my Tonehammer if we aren't counting tuners...

 

[Mosfed]

Probably the FEA Opti-Fet

With the Barbershop very close behind

 

[Yaphet]

Strymon Big Sky all the way! I'm even willing to trade my Warwick $$ for one at a huge discount to what I would want for a straight sale.

...The two pedals I'd use at a gig if I could only take one would either be an OC-2 or my custom Foundry overdrive from johnk_10 depending on the music.

so jealous over that Foundry...

For me its my Turbo Tuner, followed closely by my Submarine

I don't know if this has been covered recently, but with the amount of pedals coming out daily I wanted to hear everyone's pick for the ONE pedal that they can't live without. Don't list 2 or 5, etc... Just the ONE pedal that you consider your Holy Grail.

For me it is the Keeley Bassist Compressor

I have a Keeley Bassist Compressor on the way. As someone who always dug dbx style compression (I had a Maxon CP9 Pro+ for quite a while that also claimed to be a "dbx in a box") I"m really excited to check it out.

3Leaf Enabler.

It's a great little box isn't it? When I got it I wasn't quite sure how much I'd use it and now it's indispensable.

John did a great job on my Foundry. The Submarine side has a mids switch but since I leave it in the default spot it's the same as a normal Submarine. The special sauce is that the Blueberry side is capable of much higher gain than the BJFE or Bearfoot version. I love my Turbo Tuner too. Perfect for setting intonation but almost TOO accurate for gigs since I spend more time trying to tune exactly on pitch!

Ummmm if I needed a pedal it would be a tuner.

Best bass rig:

Bass - Tuner - Tube Amp

You could also add a tube DI on the end of that if it is needed at the gig.

 

[Tom Howland]

For Fretless- Boss CS-2 - MXR 134 Analog Stereo Chorus.

Fretted- Solid Gold FX Beta- JohnK F2-Preamp.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Pre-amp pedal based off the op-amp of a RE301 Space Echo. Crank up the gain and it gives a great distorted sound. Back it off a bit and it enhances the dynamics of your fingerstyle. An 'always on' pedal for me.

 

[KevInDaBassment]

I don't have my Fuzzrocious Rat Tail yet, but for now my EHX Bass Big Muff Deluxe is pretty indispensable. Runner-up would be my Boss CE-3.

 

[mistergoats]

Tuner, all the way. The ol' trusty Korg Pitchblack is the only pedal that has remained constant on my board. Might get a VT Bass DI tomorrow.

 

[zekebass808]

Markbass Compressore (or Empress Compressor in a coin flip).

... and the VT Bass.

Sorry for not sticking to the question, but I've really got the compressor and drive working in tandem - for tone "phat"-ening.
