What pedal has been on your board longest (excluding tuners)

[theavondon]

I got a Bluebeard sometime in the first half of 2013, and now that is my board in its entirety. Okay, plus a tuner.

Before that, it was the Rusty Box, which I got Christmas of '09. Need to fix that thing...

Nothing on my board has been there longer than 6 months.

I even pulled my old tuner for a snark

Big box Rat. Got it about 12 years ago. Has been in my chain ever since. Only been using a pedalboard a couple of years.

This thread made me realize I've been using the same Arion tuner since the 1980's.

More recently I've been trying the Megalith or Meathead Dark clone for everything for about three years. Guitar, down-tuned guitar-thing, bass.

Think it's time to search CL for a sweet tuner.

The only pedal I use that is over a year/year and a half old is a Hardwire RV-7 reverb. Had it since 2011 probably. Isn't always on the board, but it's still my go-to verb.

Oldest still on a board is a Boss OC-2.

i mean. i'd have to look for it. but i think i have an og (not the smaller sized) Pitchblack in my pedal pile i'm never gonna use. you could have it for like $15 to cover the shipping?

My Diamond Compressor, 4 years now?

I probably would never buy one now, but totally bought into the Talkbass hype, and convinced myself I needed a compressor.

Now that I have it... it's essential to me, brings crappy pickups to life, fattens everything, and keeps a consistency in tone in between different instruments.

Been running an fz-2 and a death metal for like 2 years now. They'll never leave me.

[spacelordmother]

I was going to say that it's a toss-up between my Bubble Font and RV-3, but neither is on my board at the moment...

My Rat hasn't been turned off in 7 years.

is it weird that i don't really like Rats?

Imagine if EHX made one

NSFW: show

For me, my Big Muff V4, I've had it for 8 years, and if somehow it gets moved off my board, it gets put back within a few weeks. Despite it's huge size. I love that fucking fuzz tone. And my dyna-comp clone, I bought that at least 6 years ago. I hate how my playing sounds without it.

Delays and reverbs and other dirt get rotated/flipped a lot. Tuner, comp and the muff are the only consistent. I bet they've been in every pedal board pic I've ever posted.

Imagine if EHX made one WHEN EHX MAKES ONE, PRETENDS IT'S A NEW AND AMAZING THING AND IT'S A LOW QUALITY PIECE OF CRAP WITH PROBLEMATIC FEATURES.





fixed that for ya

Prescription Electronics Depth Charge.
