Your KEEPER pedals!

[Wes Mantooth]

Can't see myself ever getting rid of my
Eau Claire Thunder, Fuzz War or my Pat Corrigan Phantom Ring

The ECT and Fuzz War are just great fuzzes and the Phantom Ring provides all the glitchy octave stuff and allows me to combine it with any fuzz. Also it just looks amazing

No longer have the Fuzz War but I'm proud to say I still have the ECT and Phantom Ring

[goroth]

The Elements.

Everything else is changeable, even if I can't see myself doing it. It's also very early to say, but I could possibly add the Velcrobot to the list.

Old post?
The only pedals I've never gotten rid of after ehhhh a year-ish are a boss ds-1, tu-2, and my Malekko vibrato. The vibrato is purty much my fave ped evar. I couldn't ever get rid of it. Another keeper is my MXR M-117.

Hey! I still have the flanger! and the ds-1. But I passed on the vibrato Still looking for a replacement. Also safe to say I have a polytune mini now

As I'm about to sell off a lot of my shit, I think I can accurately post my list now.

Cathedral, Mini, TAFM, DD7.

That signal chain order does nicely, too.

Wren and Cuff the Caprid
Industrialelectric the Incinerator
Boss CE-2

I've been holding out for a boutique delay for a long time and I hope the No Memory ends up on this list.

Fuck

[ChetMagongalo]

Fuck

Same here, don't think I'll ever get rid of mine!

[Moose]

My keepers are;

Proco Rat Reissue (I know it's the reissue, but I fucking love it. Core of my tone!)
EHX Passive Attenuator
BYOC 5 Knob Compressor
A/B Loop selector
TC Electronic Trinity Reverb
EHX Small Stone Phaser



Although I must admit, I find myself using a Boss SD-1 more and more regularly, it might just be a keeper!

Also, just realised half my keepers aren't actually effects, they're more utility pedals haha.

I think my one pedal that I will NEVER sell is my TAFM. Not just because of how it sounds, but because it was my first boutique pedal I bought and the great email exchange I had with Brian and the fact that I got it custom colored. It's second generation, so I got it before he started making anything else. Since I've had it for so long, there's a lot of sentimental value to it as well. Plus it sounds fucking awesome.

Runner up pedals:
Boss DD-3
Montreal Assembly C.A. Ring Mod (similar story of having a great exchange)
Boomerang 3 (also, it was a gift, so I'd be a dick if I sold it)

Although I don't plan on completely changing my board any time soon. I really like what I have, but if I find something better I'm willing to make changes.

[goosekevin]

boss sd1, some variation of a fuck, source audio reverb, some sort of boss delay

hey i still have the first 3 but no boss delay
i have no idea why i said sd1? i havent used it in ages, probably because its too beat up to sell
id like to add the tafm and el cap to the list

[Tendollarcat]

Endangered Audio AD4096 (90210)

It just seems to work with every pedal I put on my board. Works with heavy sounds, works with melodic stuff, does ambient stuff. I never have any real idea what I'm doing when I use delay but this thing is probably my favourite pedal of all time.

[rot gut]

my OG white face rat that I got for $10, i'd sell the rest.

[Shish]

I posted somewhere in this thread. but now I can't find it so I'll post again.

My first choice for keeper is my old pre-DLX version of Xerograph with envelope control. I bought it way before hype started, it was about four years ago and I think there was a single youtube video of it back then. I have Xero DLX now too and the envelope response is quite different and I like the old Xero better.
The second keeper is Pitchfactor, unless Strymon comes up with something crazier, but even then I'll likely keep it. It's just incredibly deep and inspiring.
