I realized sometime late last year that if I'm playing guitar or bass, I'm going to be playing some shitty screamo/hardcore. I realized playing bass live that basically no effects actually carry over well on a bass except for the Ct5, but I don't have many uses for that. Might think about swapping out the PS-3 for a Phaser or something, but maybe I should find people to play with first.

Now my guitar set up is:

Melx Fuzz 2 -> PS-3 -> RV-3 -> R.Attack -> In Limbo II -> Tuner

Bass is:

Unknown Muff variant or something (haven't gotten this far) -> Tuner

To get by comfortably I'd need:

Pretty Years or RML 432k for versatility of OD
I like fuzz too much so would at least need one... probably Fuzz Mutant
Depending on the project I could get by with no modulation or other projects may need two or three
Nemesis delay for versatility
Empress reverb for versatility

I play as a one man band and have already cut my pedalboard in half over the last few months, but I reckon I could get completely by with just

tuner > Rat > TAFM > Nemesis > RM-1N(!!!!) - looper.

If I had one frivolous pedal to add on it would probably be a bitquest.

With a dirty amp, I need a decent guitar and a flanger.
Bass is light dirt and a compressor.

Why does the dirty amp make make up for no chorus/delay?

I use chorus and a slap back delay mostly to thicken my clean tone, with gain it becomes too subtle to matter for me.

all i use live is a volume pedal & a boost. sometimes i wish i could scale that down!

I could get by with nothing at all except my bass and amp. I know right?

^almost all my bass gigs are bass-amp, the only pedals I tend to use are either tafm or Pharaoh if any songs need fuzz. Hopefully starting a new band where I'll use more, but yeah realistically I don't need any pedals to be happy playing bass.

Guitar, just give me an amp that's nearly breaking up but not quite, and Fuck->Suneater. That's almost always the only stuff I take to gigs where I play guitar.

These are both dependent on the style of the band I actually gig with though, if I were in a different type of band the pedal requirements would increase (but never decrease!)

I don't know what I'd do for the live stuff I'm doing now, but it has been on my mind a bit since Oslo (which I wasn't entirely happy with although it came out all right). Laptop + QuNexus is cheating, I take it?

As far as Bass goes I was down to Badascan + Pitchblack for the infrequent outdoor jams of 2015/2016 (think substandard Colour Haze sonics), but I'd use that in combination with a singing tree and a PDF if I had the space and time to bring them. Still pretty minimal for ILF standards, I think.

all I really need is a tuner, mini (or buzz/super puzzle), hamalith (could sub for a muff), dd-500, space and rc-3. you can do -so- much with the dd500 and space alone utilizing the hotswitch and assigning ctrls. can even use them for dirt (mangledverb/SFX mode). I couldn't really expand on this for a while because $, but that helped me figure out exactly what I'd like to get next. the buy/try/flip cycle gets old.

i know its not the same at all as what u guys are talking about but gimme an MPC500 or SP404 or OP1 and i'm golden. don't even need the power outlet

Well if we're talking a non-guitar context than just give me my laptop.

Tink I could get by with:

Crash oscillating fuzz
Wizard of Pitch for weirdness
Futureman boost/od
Nimbus reverb

For guitar, bass or synth, headstock tuner maybe, into a clean SS amp like the HH IC100.

1) Bass -> 4046-M -> amp
2) Add drummer
3) Maybe put a Reverb pedal between a mic and a PA
4) Congrats,you just recorded a sick electro-punk album

I'm with this guy, I'm starting to like Norwegians.

Ideally I could rock with a Jazzmaster, Rat and a Twin Reverb, but I'm already there so it's not funny.

I think I could get by with an RV5 a Rat or Heavy Fuzz and a delay with modulation like my echobox or the timebender
probably could do RV5 RAT with clipping choices and Timebender and be pretty happy
maybe I need a tuner like a pitchfactor type tuner

I did do a 4 song a few weeks ago with just a G3 and I felt like I got good tones but needed way more cable between my guitar and amp
Sounded like Icepicks to me, AC15 was not designed for a direct signal
