Your essential pedalboard
Moderated By: mods
Had a good afternoon this afternoon using pretty close to this setup (I had the Memory Boy along too) as I was limited by the size of my satchel: HulioGreenMuff (my fuzz tastes change from day to day: until my IC Muff is fixed, this one's getting a lot of play) > Ibanez PM7 > GigFX Chopper > SMMH (this pedal was fucking immense today, can't stress enough how good it is).

Sweet, this'll be easy for me cause I don't like pedals!
If I were to have a board (might some day), let's see:
The EHX Hum Debugger is a must - just so useful. That's first. Then a tuner, probably the Pitch Black. I like a wah sometimes, probably my modded Crybaby. I could also see having reverb as an effect - probably whatever the most recent BOSS thing is.
Don't know if it counts, but I'd also add a small mic preamp in case I wanted to plug into the PA.

my pedalboard consists of my amp's foot switch, a tuner, an eq, and a chorus, the latter two of which never get used. if all i had was a single channel amp, i could get away with the saltbooster and a tuner. . . and the tuner could taken off if you really wanted to get picky.
