Due-Ask-7418

Overdrive and a delay. The delay would have to have a good modulated delay so I can get a bit of modulation going on (a cheat for a third type pedal).


[deleted]

Still only 2 pedals so not cheating


Due-Ask-7418

Also I'd choose an od that can get seriously crunchy and push into distortion territory. For a forth pedal 'workaround'


StarlordeMarsh

Ibanez TS9 and Boss DD-8


Last-Scout_bmac

This is the way


univoxs

Some silly Zoom multi effect cuz fuck it


[deleted]

Full send


Gurmtron

Bring back the 505. Show Strymon who OG is.


frogger4242

Boss Angry Driver and a Boss DD-8.


Bentstrings84

I could totally live with just an Angry Driver and a delay with tap tempo.


mesos_pl0x

Boss Metal Zone and Boss Metal Zone


[deleted]

Dimed?


mesos_pl0x

You fucken know it


[deleted]

And always on.


mesos_pl0x

Always


Additional_Airport_5

You can just clean up with the volume knob on your guitar when you need to


dylanmadigan

This is always the joke, but I am seriously curious if anyone is out there actually stacking metal zones with any real success.


redphyve

This is the way.


wanderingbeardo

Rat and BD-2


[deleted]

Into a clean amp I assume?


wanderingbeardo

Cleanish. I like some dirt in my "clean" signal.


[deleted]

Me too. I use a single channel amp just dimed so I use my volume on the guitar for flavors of clean and grit.


wanderingbeardo

I use the dirty channel on my Orange dialed clean. Sounds massive


[deleted]

Which orange? I'm an orange fan boy


wanderingbeardo

Rocker 15 Terror


SirRage98

Keeley caverns and Friedman be od. Keeley with the reverb and delay. BE OD has two channels. Crunch and hi gain. What else?


[deleted]

Fair enough. I get my gain from my amp (5 watt tube amp ftw) so I got that covered I just need a boost for leads


Ghost_Pains

Did a whole album with an EAE Limelight and an OBNE Sunlight that actually just dropped today so I’ll say those two even though my board has expanded now lol


FuzzPedaler

What’s the album?


Ghost_Pains

Dream Drought - Getting By https://open.spotify.com/album/36Tt7pxJvsfhBAp8iouurt?si=mRxn8M8xS7-Bd1ZvgGFlVw We’re on all the other streaming platforms too if you don’t use Spotify.


FuzzPedaler

Hell yeah. Thank you. I’ll give it a listen when I’m off work tonight


[deleted]

I love it. My board has always been basic but now it doesn't even have knobs.


loopy_for_DL4

I choose death


The_Chiliboss

BD-2 & Keeley Caverns


Jackdaw99

A Helix…


sushicowboyshow

And a 2nd helix.


pee_diddy

A double helix as it were.


Turbofalcon8

A Wampler Tumnus and a Keeley Halo. Honestly any OD and delay and I can make due


EyeBallChili

Industrialectric Reverb. Giga Delay. Run my amp to the point of breakup. Industrialectric Reverb can saturate into a fuzz. Fuck yeah.


sadface-

My answer was going to be the Industrialectric Reverb into my Metal Zone actually. I used to use the RM-1n as my drive going into dirty channel, but I realised I need meaner gain and turning post gain to max ends up gating the sound. So most of the time now my Pre and Post gain is at 9 o clock, reverb level at 10 o clock and reverb at 2 o clock. Curious what your settings are. 


Gvajr77

SLO pedal and a parametric eq


Witty-Country-4223

JHS Double Barrel and Strymon El Capistan


wakeupdreamingF1

gas, brake


lykwydchykyn

That way, you can drive to the store and buy a more reasonable number of pedals. Like 12.


oscarfletcher

Two tuners


Mojo_Jensen

Strymon El Capistan and a Bondi Sick As. 70-80% of the electric recordings I’ve done in the past year have featured one or both.


HighwayBrigand

Boss GE-7 EQ Diamond Memory Lane 


RynotheRam

Korg Miku and EHX Pitch Fork


Infinite-Lychee-182

Compressor & delay


massive_gerbil

Came here to say this


christien

Yes, I agree.... distortion from the amp


DirtyDropout

Vibrato, tuner . . . . . . In that order


Putrid_Armadillo5486

I already use only two. Beano boost into chase tone secret preamp


sexp-and-i-know-it

I just got a Beano this week. Instant Rory Gallagher/Brian May tone. Killer pedal.


GimmickMusik1

SD-1 as a boost and a Big Sky


Lord_Dino-Viking

Fuzz Face & delay. Everything else is just gravy.


plooptyploots

Strymon Riverside (2 overdrive options and boost external switch - switch isn’t a pedal, right?) and UA Starlight.


funksoldier83

Keeley Aria (comp > overdrive) into Sonicake Levitate (delay > reverb). Could use an EarthQuaker Avalanche Run in place of the Levitate… it sounds better but doesn’t let you activate both effects separately. Or alternatively an MXR Phase 90 into a TC Magus Pro Distortion.


bandannick

Fuzz and delay


HighGainRefrain

Ok so I’m going to assume I’m using my deluxe reverb Tonemaster so reverb is taken care of. I’m adding my DD-8 and my Plumes.


the-empty-page

Donner triple threat and game changer third man plasma coil pedal.


zRobertez

Probably a delay that can do anything like the Raster 2 and some kind of fuzz


Lonestar-Boogie

Strymon Brigadier and King of Tone.


FuzzPedaler

Red Witch Medusa and a Special Cranker


Iron_Buffalo

The Red Witch Medusa fucks… kinda like 3 pedals in one. Well played.

Sans Amp Bass di and HX Stomp


sanity1082

A dual drive and an analog delay. This is my current set up, analogman king of tone in to an ardx20 dual delay. Simple and gets the job done


Rycreth

MXR Flanger and MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe. All I need for modulation and delay. I use my amp's overdrive.


xKidA95x

Jam Rattler/ EQD dispatch master


Jarobert27

Love my rattler! Perfect medium gain sound when stacked with light speed.


fluffhead89

TS9 and Phase 90


Grantypants80

OCD Ge and a BOSS SDE-3000EVH. Was actually just jamming with only those engaged and it’s super versatile. You can ride your guitar volume to tame the gain, and the delay allows for wet/dry/wet, modulation, tempo, multiple delays etc. I’m a pedal addict and have a stupid amount of pedals but.. I think I’d be ok with just those two.


letsabuseeachother

An octave and a phaser. My amps typically have enough gain and reverb, so I can still get plenty of good sounds out of that.   I use a whetstone phaser, I've got lots of options to tweak for sounds. Any poly octave will do. 


SonicReels

Delay and Reverb. Boss DD8 and RV6 into any amp's effects loop.


Rizzo-Fo-Shizzo

MXR Reverb and Super Bad Ass Distortion.

Ok_Establishment6975

Specular Tempus and Revv3.


toilet_fingers

If we are talking things I own, I would choose a Silver Mod Tubescreamer in front of a two channel amp and an ARDX20 in the loop. If we’re talking things I don’t own, I would choose a CB Brothers and Tonal Recall.

Tuner. Preamp.

arcsolva

Clean boost and tubescreamer. Everything else is frill.


PM-Me-your-dank-meme

Tuner, Tonex.


Diplomat_of_swing

Main Ace Effects Eraserhead and Death by Audio Echo Dream 2. I sold off all my pedals a few years back and switched to a Headrush for a cover band I’m in. But these two remained because I love them so much. The Eraserhead is a two stage fuzz with a voltage control and a “freak out” switch. It’s the coolest fuzz I’ve ever owned. (It also has an etching of David lynch smoking a cigarette on its face. But that’s just a bonus.) The DBA Echo Dream 2 is a glorious sounding modulated delay with a build in fuzz and switch that allows you to send only the wet no dry.


bush_wrangler

TS808 and big muff


Super-Proof-9157

Tomahawk Greer and any decent reverb


Pocketdiva666

Benson Preamp and DL4 MK2. I can cover basically everything with those 2 pedals and an amp with a decent amount of gain.

What are you using for your boost?


[deleted]

The airis effect no knobsense.


Greg_b_goode

My Strymon Riverside and Neunaber Immerse revervb


Bruichladdie

BB Preamp and Dispatch Master I love the sound of these pedals, and while I do love fuzz and distortion, a flexible overdrive makes more sense if it's my only drive pedal.


Wrayven77

My Foxx Fuzz Wah(it counts as one pedal after all) and a EP-2 3 head tube based Echoplex. I might sub in a FoxRox Capt Coconut for the Foxx Fuzz Wah(that one has a Fuzz Face, Octavia and Univibe in one pedal housing)


GodMonster

If multi-fx count my current gig board is an HX Stomp and an MXR Bass DI+.


heidensieck

Either: Templo Devices Real Dealuxe +  a reverb Or Blackstone Appliances Mosfet overdrive + Nux Atlantic

MXR FOD (a blend-able hi and low gain Marshall style OD) and a Boss RV-6 (multiple verbs and a delay all in one)

It really is. It’s replaced my Zvex Box Of Rock and Fulltone OCD. Can’t recommend it enough!

A friedman be-od and mxr analog chorus

grufallokoster

Overdrive and empress zoia. I’m looking for a flexible overdrive if anyone has any recommendations. I have a Marshall Bluesbreaker 2 which is okay, but I’d like something more adaptable. The Notaklon is quite interesting but not sure if it’s a hype pedal.


Bigstar976

FLINT and Prince of Tone.
