Members elsupermanny14 Posted May 29, 2012 Members Share Posted May 29, 2012 So here is what I hope can be a fun thread. What pedals would you choose for a budget friendly pedal board? Please let's stick to the term budget (aka cheap/poor/broke/whatever else you want to call it). So if you found a rare boutique pedal for $120, that does not count. The cheap price has to be accessible to everyone, so again, if you found an amazing deal that others could not get it does not count. What would you choose? Here is what I'm thinking so far:DigiTech Bad Monkey ODDigiTech DigiDelayMXR 6-Band EQ ...and I'm out of ideas haha. I'm excited to see how many different options you guys come up with.

Members elsupermanny14 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted May 29, 2012 Well, what the heck are you trying to play with it? Type of music? Type of guitar? What pickups in said guitar? What amp? Nothing in particular. I just wanted to see what people's imaginations could come up with. Make it suitable to your own style if you would like.

Members notjonahbutnoah Posted May 29, 2012 Members Share Posted May 29, 2012 Well then for versatility on a budget with individual boxes instead of a multi unit, go ahead and keep the 3 you have listed. They're solid enough. I would also suggest a wah. Standard crybaby or whatever. Maybe a phaser. Delay, OD, and an EQ makes for a pretty darn versatile setup. Add a wah, and you can do most genres with only very extreme exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bsman Posted May 29, 2012 Members Share Posted May 29, 2012 This pedal is a pretty decent choice as a way to get a lot of decent effects in one package (digitech EX-7): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bsman Posted May 29, 2012 Members Share Posted May 29, 2012 i use a headstock tuner. QFT I like the snark better than any pedal tuner I've ever tried, and you can buy about a dozen for the price of one decent pedal tuner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted May 29, 2012 Members Share Posted May 29, 2012 Get an MXR Classic Overdrive (whenever Guitar Center gets these GT-OD repaints, they're under $40), a Danelectro Fab Delay, and a Danelectro Fish & Chips EQ. You can run your amp a little dirty, use your volume for clean, and kicking in the OD will give you enough gain for most situations. The only effect you really need is some delay, and I'd just use the EQ as a solo boost. That gives you three pedals for about $100. All you need is the patch cables and a scrap piece of plywood to put them on, and you're gig-ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nothingstock Posted May 29, 2012 Members Share Posted May 29, 2012 I have a Vox AD50VT, but I still use a few pedals for variety and because the Vox only allows you to save two settings. I have a Daddy-O, an old MXR Phase 100, and a really old Ibanez Analog Delay that keeps on ticking. That gets me through a lot, and I could probably use it through any amp and survive the night. I also have a Zoom GFX-1 that I love to take to jams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members benzem Posted May 29, 2012 Members Share Posted May 29, 2012 Boss tuner, you can use it to power your other pedals, when you use a boss power supply for it. Also, I enjoy the silent tuning and the muting can come in handy at gigs. Wah I like to use a small multi for time based fx only, which is great for switching, saves you some tap dancing. Also, I set different delay patches that would be impossible to tweak quickly on the dd3. Then I have room for a several flavors of dirt pedals...... Bad monkey, ts9, ds-1, MT2. I do have a boss ch-1 and a DD3, and prefer them to the multi, so I use them when I don't need extreme changes quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
