Delays......that get crusty....or wishy washy......but sound spooky.

Ooh yeah reverse delays too
Rusty box has been a godsend so a good cranky od is essential in my setups too now

Delay (Deluxe Memory Man):
The Deluxe Memory Man is the most beautiful sounding delay I heard till now, as far as I'm concerned it's in a total class of it's own, you haven't heard delay unless you've tried this.

Phaser (Tap A Phase):
Most boutique phasers I tried so far have a bit of plingy or nasal sound in the high midrange that makes it feel like it goes against what I'm playing because I have quite a strong attack but the classic Phase 90 and Small Stone don't seem to have this problem, the only classic sounding boutique phaser I found that works for me so far is the Tap A Phase.

Filter (Xerograph Deluxe):
I use this after my main drive with an expression pedal with a longer sweep (Dunlop Volume X) kind of as how I'd use a wah for slow sweeps only I think this sounds way more awesome and the threadle feels much better to me than those regular wah thingy's.

Sample Rate Reducer / Bitcrusher (Hexe Bitcrusher III):
The secret with this is in the sound of the sample rate reducer and the blend control for me, the Hexe is so beautiful as a layer underneath your clean sound, it also combines amazingly well with delay.

Chorus / Vibrato (Warped Vinyl):
I'm usually not a fan of the typical chorus on clean or drive type of thing but it if you apply lower depth settings it can bring an awesome deep metallic sheen on your sound and it can be great as a faux detuned second oscillator sound with certain more synthy sounding fuzz pedals.

The Elements would be useful on every board ever in some capacity.

I will never get rid of my Crazy Horse.

Man, everyone loves the Elements, but I just couldn't bond with it. I tried, but it just didn't work for me.

Fuck
Mini
TC Polytune Mini
Holy Grail
Rangemasters
My old green muff
Triangle muffs
most delays
most reverbs

I can use 'em all.

Whether I like 'em all, well, that's a different story.

I like all Phasers. But I REALLY like my faye sing for manual phasing. Just set that shit on throaty and then everything I play is like a cyborg or something. I love it.

Some days I feel this way, when using it with guitar, but I always love it with bass

Anything Smallsound/Bigsound.

Re guitar: I don't think it sounds very good at bedroom levels - I much prefer a Metal Zone or a Death Metal. But at gig levels it slays everything in its path. It lets you get massive without getting boomy, cut through without getting mids-honky, and meaty without attack-decimating saturation. Of course, if you want those things you can dial them up too - but they're awfully hard to get rid of in a Metal Zone for example.

Spooky analog delays (i.e. the repeats sound like a cross between whale sounds and metal creaking on a submarine)
Extra-crisp digital (like the repeats are on the edge of freezing they're so cold)
Big, cold, delayed attack reverbs
Fuck
High Five Plus
Wolf Computer
MXR octave pedals

That would make sense since I rarely get to 'loud' by even bedroom standards.
