The Favorite Pedal of All Time Thread

[HighDeaf1080p]

A couple of threads, like the board of not used pedals thread, recently got me thinking about this topic. We all have pedals that we use for various tasks, and some that we hold on to for various reasons...There are pedals that we relate to and love more deeply than others on or off our boards even if we don't use them very often or for very dramatic effect. It's the one pedal we would most be lost with if it were gone. Maybe it's something easily replaceable, and maybe its something that would be hard to find if your current one crapped out...

For me its my Pigtronix PHI Echolution Chrome. I find that almost 95% of the time I have it on, and set either very dramatically or very subtly. I know it inside and out (literally)...I know every millimeter of every knob's range and what effect it will have on my sound, so I can quickly get to just what I want with it. And it can do things I haven't found in any other available delay pedal. It has been back to Pigtronix once for a repair already in its lifetime. If it ever dies the big death, I will have a gut wrenching decision regarding what to replace it with, if I can't find any still available out there.



I'm interested to know what one pedal you guys have bonded with above all others...because to me, that seems like an enormous compliment to the pedal's design, and might be a pedal others should own and spend time getting to know.

An extension of my guitar, an extension of my body, an extension of my soul.

90% of all my dirt tones comes from this guy. The control it gives you over oscillations and noise, the weird sweeps, the tones, the fact that it actually cuts through in a mix. Yeah, to me it is the best pedal ever created.

Sounds amazing no matter what you do to it.

I read this title as "The Favorite Pedal Thread of All Time". Which I'm gonna have to think about.

I know I'm going to be in a minority on this but the Toneczar Echoczar. After I sold mine, I had so much regret and missed it constantly to the point of I've thought about it almost everyday. I've never had that happen with a pedal. I love the delay on it. It's sounds so magical to me. I'm not sure what it is. It's not the price, I know that, because the price hurts and I hate that side of it, but the tone of the delay is just so perfect.

I could sell everything else I have and own just that pedal and be happy.

Aescher Resonator, dude. C'mon.

Judder and Count To 5 spring to mind immediately, seeing as the ct5 is my longest sitting pedal on my board (I know, I know). I only sold my Judder because of financial need, and I'm still hurting over it.

This pedal. In this finish. One of the first 150 that were tuned a little hotter and gate slightly. Hnnnnng!
All Elements are good but this is the best.

Another pedal I miss dearly. I'll be getting one post haste though.

Fav pedal thread of all time is easily any of the few dozen DEGOOPED IT AND YES ITS ANOTHER TUBESCREAMER CLONE YOU SUCKERS OVERPAID FOR BY $600 on TGP.
Take your pick.

Edit: I think it may actually be the DUMBLOID one, in particular.
Some builder, not going to namedrop...degooped that $800 pedal or w/e, posted a pic of the gutshot...then quickly took it down before starting to build a clone for *only $400*
