Members davedgeman Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 What pedals do you think would make the "all star" pedalboard based on popularity in this forum? I'd say it goes as follows: distortion: crunchboxOD: bad monkey (narrowly beats out ts9)fuzz: big muff clonesdelay: DMM (by far the leading vote getter.......but if it gets hurt the SMMH will takes its place)wah: nobody ever talks about wahphase: small stoneoctave: POGchorus: small clone I would be happy with this pedalboard.

Members justintee Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 good question about the chorus. not sure if i've ever heard much consensus around it.. the timefactor is well-loved here too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crxsh Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 There are a lot of variants to this equation ... but I'd be generally happy with this setup too. Dealing with a non-tap-tempo delay would be tough ... but I'm sure the DMM would more than make up for it in the long run. If I could propose some changes though... I'd probably swap the Small Stone with a Phase 90, the Bad Monkey for a Blues Pro and ditch the chorus for a tremolo ... but that'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members davedgeman Posted March 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 forgot about reverb. I'd say the verbzilla wins by a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members davedgeman Posted March 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 Are crunchbox and bad monkey really that popular here? Whenever anyone asks for a marshallesque distortion recommendation, the answer almost invariably is crunchbox. And I think at least half of the people on this forum own a badmonkey and compare it favorably to Boss overdrives. When compared to a TS9, a lot of people prefer the bad monkey because it has less of a mid hump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FuzzShifter Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 From what I read on here, the following are the All-Stars distortion: Rat OD: OCD fuzz: Pink Flesh/ Zero delay: DMM (by far the leading vote getter.......but if it gets hurt the SMMH will takes its place) wah: RMC/ Clyde phase: small stone/ script mod phase 90 octave:micro POG chorus: small clone/ CE2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members friction Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 Yeah, there's gotta be a Rat somewhere in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dandy13 Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 With delay i think the most common thing around here is to have one analog and one digital (at least!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members davedgeman Posted March 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 Yeah, there's gotta be a Rat somewhere in there.You would take the rat over the crunchbox? I haven't tried the crunchbox but based on it's popularity in this forum I am considering ordering one since I trust many of your tonal opinions. I tried the rat.....wasn't so impressed I'm late for dinner because I keep sitting here reloading the HC effects forum to see if anyone responds to my post.

Members SharkMinusBear Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 the Skreddy Screwdriver definitely beats out everything for OD/Dist as long as you don't need high gain. It gets my vote for both categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thatmullingskid Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 i think everything's represented except a DS-1/modded DS-1 for distortion (probably more rat love here though) and another vote for verbzilla or RV-3 for verb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SharkMinusBear Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 I thought the Screwdriver got into fuzz territory? It can if you want it to, but I really think it shines as an OD/Dist pedal. I have the trimpot set up so it gets right on the verge of fuzzy. It pretty much covers all my gain needs and the mayo covers the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EvilSoup Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 It would probably look exactly like my old pedalboard, with a Timefactor instead of the DD20.Yeah that is a Mayo up there.I only have the Nebula, Octron, Small Stone, and PS5 now.

Members Zer0beaT Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 I think the HCFX Allstar board list would need a computer program which would randomize the brand/model name (with a large slant towards newly released pedals and the odd "vintage" effect model) next to each pedal type on a weekly basis. Tuner: TU-2, DT-10 Eq: Dano, GE-7. Wah: None, RMC, Buddah, Vox. Fuzz: Big Muff, Zvex FF, Monsterpiece NPN. OD:Skreddy, BD-2 (modded), Bad Monkey, Rat (maybe not that much), an OCD and Crunchbox here and there. Chorus: CE-2, Small Clone. Phaser: Phase 90/clone, a Small Stone here and there. Delay: DMM, SMMH, DD-takeyourpick, Carbon Copy soon to saturate... Reverb: amp, RV-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mrweems Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 there needs to be a Rat on there. As well as a Muff of some form. Also I really like my timmy. Alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
