I love my catalinbread SFT, and to a slightly lesser extent my naga viper (altough every guitar plyer should own a naga viper) and my montavillian echo.


I guess i'm a huge c-bread fanboy.


I also love my black russian muff, my whetstone phaser, my hardwire dl-8 for its amazing versatility, and the HOG for how crazy awesome it is all the damn time

Meat. Potatoes. Two.

OD. Fuzz. Comp. Delay. Trem. Verb. "Much else". More than two.

Meat and potatoes = amp reverb w/ switch + od pedal. Anything more and you're in John Mayer territory as far as I'm concerned.

Compared to most pedalboards here, his layout is rather basic.

I am a big fuzz fan, obviously. My board tends to consist of a whammy V, about four or five fuzz pedals, an overdrive or two, three delays in various locations, a mobius for modulation and then some reverb at the end. Not in that order, really, just a general list.


As for specific favorite effects, I love all of the Strymon delays. I am also fond of the Echorec and Hardwire Delay. I love the Mobius and I also love IC-based Big Muff Clones. Most of the dirt pedals i use are ones I make/made so I can't really say I'm not biased there, but outside of those I love my Arc Effects Buzzaround clone, a Germanium Ram's head muff someone made, and, surprisingly, the MXR bass DI+ makes a pretty great guitar distortion/overdrive as well as a really handy DI box for recording bass or guitar.

I don't really see the connection between John Mayer and effects heavy playing...he's got a pretty average sized effects setup.

Acoustic and microphone...anything more and you're in John Mayer territory as far as I'm concerned.

I can easily get by with just my amp's dirt, no peds. Fuzz and delay are a helluva lot of fun though, can't have enough of 'emsmile.gif

I'm not counting 'tools' btw, like a tuner, volume pedal, compressor. Actually, my compressor is pretty much on all the time, and in a rather squishy setting.

I've gotten to a point were I've been using the same set-up on my pedalboard for over a year. And most of those pedals I been using from 3 to 10 years. I try other pedals but I tend to come back to a rig that looks something like this. (The Line 6 M9 gets moved down to the side when I'm playing, I just boxed it up there for the pic):

My M.I. Audio Blues Pro is a tube screamer type overdrive, much more transparent than an Ibanez TS-9 yet more powerful. The purple box is a really old beat up MJM Foxey Fuzz, the Boss DS-1 is a Keeley modded SEM, it's not a stock DS-1, much more gain and much better tone on it, the little aqua colored box is a Cusack More Louder (the newest box on there, but it comes in handy at bar gigs). Yes I use two multi-effects units. It's kind of a workingman's Gilmoure/The Edge kind of set-up. I can get lot's of atmospheric stuff with this or just get a regular classic rock sound.

CONTROVERSY


i find that they're standard effects used pretty universally. no flange, phase, vibe, pitch shifting, bit crushers... hell i don't even own a wah. i do have an m9 on my board but it reads comp, trem, reverb pretty much all the time.
