I'm looking to assemble a small analogue only (if possible) board to run in mono into my HRDIII (with Cannabis Rex speaker) to have something more simple for playing live/rehearsal as another option. I already have a fantastic ambient/soundtrack composing board running in stereo into a Roland JC40, but would love the variety.

I already have 2 Dr Scientist pedals earmarked for it (The Cleanness, Frazz Dazzler), though I could probably put The Cleanness on the ambient board and get another boost/buffer/EQ or overdrive.

I'd probably need a versatile analogue delay.
Reverb/mod/trem would be a bonus, but I wouldn't want more than 2 more pedals in total, preferably just one.
Total budget: £250 max.

Any ideas?

Don't know the euro value.
My suggestion:
-Delay: Fairfield Circuitry, Meet Maude
-Mod: SubDecay, Starlight Mk II

If I were where you are now, I'd preorder a Tomkat freefaller thingy. It looks like it can do what I use my Meteore and Kilobyte combined for. Those two pedals make up the majority of my small, simple, but oh so tasty board. Then there is some dirt and you're set.

For my HRD chain (it's one of three amps I use, along with a JC), my absolute favorite gain pedal is a Bee Baa (or accurate clone). For the delay, I go with the Space Echo - have both a real one and the Boss pedal. Bee Baa nets you a boost as well if you get a proper one.

If trem, I'd go whatever cheap option fit. But I'm a simple trem guy. I'm also happy with the built-in verb for standard amp verb (if I wanted massive gaze verb, I don't know of any pedal that does what makes me happy).

I was thinking of the Moog Minifooger Delay.

Yes, this will probably be the first instance in my gear-buying life that I'll be buying a pedal again, because I sold one. Like an idiot. Shouldn't have sold it. They're amazing.

if I could get my hands on a 2nd hand MF Delay and a Red Panda Context for £250, I'd be a happy man.

Or maybe just get an El Capistan?

El cap was gonna be my suggestion. Not analoge though, but I suppose that might not matter in this context.

Doesn't the El Capistan have some kind of reverb as well?

Yup! Press both footswithes and crank the time knob and you have a perfectly decent reverb. I see people saying it sucks, but personally I think it's sweet. It's like a simple spring type thing you'd expect on a tape echo

I have definitely settled on the Moog MF Delay. I used to have one and it sounded beautiful in my HRDIII. No idea why I sold it in the first place.

Right, so usual, things have changed board wise, and I'm back to the beginning with the small board. I ended up getting a Moog MF Delay and then looked for a reverb and got a Stereo Wet which has ended up on the larger board. I've also sent my H9 Core back within the 30 days refund period.

So back to the top. I have a Pedaltrain Nano + to fill, all effects in mono into a HRDIII (with C Rex speaker). Could you suggest 3-4 pedals for the small board. The simpler the better. I might shift the MF Delay onto this board, but any combination you can think of, as long as they're all are low-draw analogue pedals that sound great in mono into a HRDIII. Ta!

Fuck Overdrive>MF Delay>Meteore Reverb.

It's a perfect board!

The Meteore will be a long wait, even the preorders are sold out!

Interested in the Fuck Overdrive, though, looks versatile. Maybe that, the MF Delay and a Red Panda Context or a Mr Black Ambience?

Fuck is the way to go for dirt. Or a Mini.

I don't use any other effect pedals, but my friend is trying to do a similar setup so this is very interesting to me.

@Waltdogg A Mini?

The smaller version of the Fuck. If space is an issue.
