This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "what are the 3 pedals on the piano for" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Danilliam Illustrious Dominance - (search on google ) ? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to learning piano fast without the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my work buddy got great success with it.
My 5 essential pedals:
1) Metal zone
2) Metal zone
3) Metal zone
4) Metal zone
5) Miku
I'm in!!!
wow, what a variety! ha!
Yup!
Where in the chain should I put the Miku?
@@RileyTech everywhere!
My top 5:
1. Tube Screamer
2. Tube Screamer
3. Tube Screamer
4. Tube Screamer
5. Metal Zone
Screaming Metal Tube Zone
6. Turbo Tube Screamer
7. Nano Big Muff
Dirty Little Secret is better than a Tubescreamer
@@Hallalo no no its not the best is the best because its the best tubescreamer sorry
@@stratjed Tube Screamer isnt great for clean Amps. It is just a overdrive for other pedals or amps
I've just bought all 5 cause of you. Then I've realized i play acoustic guitar.
Feel free to donate to me! I'll also take Cash App and Venmo to help you with your loaded bank! Ahahh, thank you! On a real note tho, that'd be a jammin acoustic set 🤘🏻
Acoustic through a metal zone and a double octave down big muff is absolutely tranquil
@@amritjanardhanan I'll try ahaha
Even better, extra hipster.
Put them inside the resonance hole 🤷♂️
I'm soooo old school. When I think of 5 pedals:
1.) Delay.
2.) Distortion.
3.) Chorus.
4.) Flanger.
5.) Whah
And maybe reverb and compressor instead of chorus and flanger or all
1. Keeley Compressor plus or DynaComp
2. TS or BD or RAT
3. MXR or Supa Trem
4. Carbon Copy or Echoplex
5. Hall of Fame or Blue Sky
In this exact signal chain
1.wah
2.miku
3.metal zone
4.metal zone
5.wah
Grant Cleveland kirk hammett meets anime
This is a cursed comment
u forgot the metal zone
I’m old school been playing 35 years. I need reverb and an overdrive. That’s about it
If it aint broke.
Completely agree.. Reverb, overdrive and a wah.. Play anything..
Get a simple delay pedal, you can find some cool slapback country/surf rock sounds! People been using pedals for a long time :)
I learned how to play without any fx pedals at all so I figured out how to make it sound like I was using delay, trem.. I had no idea they were using pedals..lol..
Been playing 40 years now and just a good amp with a gain stage and a great guitar is all I "need". But as far as wants, I like having as much as possible at my disposal, because you never know what may make something sit in the mix better.
1. Tuner
2. Looper
3. Compressor
4. Equalizer
5. Volume pedal
Atleast get an OD there man
@@zerronyx1362 what do you think the eq is for, turn your compressor into a klon at the push of a button
Kinda vanilla.
Volume pedal? Naw broseph
Bro bro
My top 5 pedals!
Mistake fixer 1
Mistake fixer 2
Mistake fixer 3
Mistake fixer 4
Talent booster 5
Great video Rhett!!!
Shawn, how about some links to those pedals? I'm in desperate need of them as well.
So THAT's your secret...
I need all 5
What, no Blame Shifter?
@@2tallB Haha!! That equipment is usually reserved for the producers and engineers.
At first, I really didn’t think I needed a fuzz, but you’re right. When you find the right one, it’s like unlocking a sound you never knew you had.
I still don't feel I need one. I think I'd just choose them from a multi.
These pedals, linked in this order, produce a great jangly guitar sound:
1. Compressor
2. Amp modeller
3. Chorus
4. Delay
5. Reverb
And a multiprocessor will do of the above, and more, for a fraction of the price. :)
This is great! I was really expecting something like tuner-wah-overdrive-delay-chorus but I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for putting this together Rhett
Oh! For me, I'd say...
1: clean boost of some flavor
2: overdrive
3: delay
4: tremolo
5: reverb
Pretty basic setup really
The last “character pedal” I got was the boss SY-1. The sounds you can get out of this pedal are amazing and so inspiring. Really has taken my playing to another level
Overdrive
Fuzz
Literally any modulation pedal but especially phaser
Delay
Reverb
It's very psychedelic
@andydguitar that's literally my board. Tuner, compressor, fuzz, overdrive, digital delay, analog delay, reverb.
1. Tube Screamer or BOSS BD-2 Blues Driver
2. Big Muff (I use the Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker)
3. High gain distortion such as the BOSS MD-2 Mega Distortion (my current fave)
4. MXR Smart Gate for noise suppression
5. Something like a BOSS DD-3/DD-5 Digital Delay or an MXR Phase 90
That's my list for pedals every guitarist should have. Rock guitarists should have a wah like the Dunlop Crybaby. I suppose the high gain distortion might not be for every guitarist, so someone could instead substitute in a boost or preamp pedal or a chorus pedal. Examples are the Electro-Harmonix Linear Power Booster boost pedal and the BOSS CE-5 Chorus Ensemble pedal, or even Electro-Harmonix Small Clone Chorus. Guitarists that have more dynamic or soft playing styles should definitely have a compressor like the MXR Dyna Comp
Great video
My ever changing setup at the mo is - Roland gr55 out to 1 amp and the gr55 guitar output to boss ds1 > dod dfx94 (delay sampler) > tc electronic trinity reverb > behringer rv600 reverb > ehx superego out to another amp
Very fresh take on this topic! This has shed new light on how one should envision one's rig. And this also finished convincing me to buying Keeley's Synth-1 at one point.
Anyways, my essential pedals: Two Notes Le Crunch, Keeley Caverns, and when I play bass my TC SpectraComp.
Wah
OD
EQ
Mod
Delay
For the longest time I gigged with boss vintage Wah, Boss, CS-2, (OD-3, SD-1, or Ibanez TS-9), DS-1, CH-1, and DD-3. Covered pretty much everything and the Chorus could be quickly tweaked to get faux rotary/trem effect. But today in 2019 I'm using a Helix about 95% of the time and have my old HD500X as a back-up. Additionally I always have a Boss CS-3 comp and BD-2 bluesdriver in my backup bag just in case. I have the HD-500X setup in stompbox mode and can pop the BD-2 in front of it for "go-too" overdrive/boost that can get me what I need very quickly. The Boss bluesdriver can really cover a lot of ground from overdrive to distortion and just straight ahead clean boost even. Back to the Helix; it's got pretty much everything in terms of effects/amp modelling, IRs, In/outs, routing options. I didn't like the PODs, etc. for the longest time until I heard myself playing through one from a DVD video recording of a Christmas program I was playing at our Church using the X3-Live. Been a believer ever since. Since then, as I've moved to the HD-500X, and now Helix and always keep the older unit as a back-up as long as it's still in good working condition. I still have all my old amps and a couple book cases of effects pedals I acquired over my 50 years of playing guitar including some I've built myself.
Great video Rhett :) I would go with:
1. Reverb (in my case Electro Harmonix Holy Grail)
2.Overdrive / Booster
3. Wah wah
4. E bow (as sth extra - I know IT is not a pedal)
5. Delay
1. Reverb
2. Delay
3. Tremolo
4. Looper
5. Some kind of “transparent”/light overdrive
Stoked to finally see the Tone Bender in a video since that backstage journal :D
Satilla gtr sometimes, it depends. I play in a band with some friends and we’ll use it to loop ideas and jam over them to write stuff but then divide up parts when we turn them into full songs
Yea, I don't like fuzz (although I like it sometimes when others use it). But I don't even like distortion pedals (although I own one) and I grew up in and around the birth of thrash metal, and play a lot of different genres of music. I like distortion from amps best. As for essentials, well, amp distortion is the only "essential" I feel I must have. But I've always loved effects and if anything I over-used them in the past. But to choose 4 "must-haves": echo, modulator, reverb, and wah pedals.
Still, a great guitar and amp is all I need to be happy.
You along with a number of other youtubers have really inspired me to play more music, meet fellow local musicians, play live and make youtube videos! Tha is for all the cool content Rhett
Number 1 pedal for me is always a tuner
Maybe add a little reverb to help the tuners tone lol 🤣
That CabZeus pedal is an absolute gamechanger. Totally redefines how one can play in any environment.
been following you for almost a year now (u can thank Rickfor that 😀)....learnt a lot...
this is the best ‘must have pedal’ so far on youtube...
very fresh perspective. the inclusion of both ‘analog modelling ‘ pedals and your take on character pedal (apt term) is really .....refreshing!
Compressor with a blend control, Octave Fuzz, Reverb, Envelope Filter and Tremolo.
I like having a Chorus/Flanger. Just awesome when having to single string your way thru a pre-chorus or interlude in a song. Next would be like an overdrive (Boss Blues Driver). Good for crunch from a clean channel, character and drive from an overdrive channel. Delay pedal is next. Great for a number of different things so I ain’t typing. Next would be a Wah. Awesome pedal if you’re gonna play "25 or 6 to 4" but equally cool 😎 as a wah-wah or exploring the different tones you’ll have access to. Last is an EQ pedal. Depending on what you want or need may determine the size. A 6 band isn’t going to do much but can come in handy if your amp doesn’t have a boost option. Set the tone flat but up your volume. Hit it when time for a solo. You don’t change anything in tone but you’ve upped your volume by 6-8 dB. Larger EQ's can do the same but if you invest the extra $$ in getting one I would think it would be used to help with a tone issue. Check with some of the lists to see what order the pedals should be placed in to maximize their abilities. Most are the same.
For me, a volume pedal between your dirt and your delay / reverb is critical, because you can adjust the volume of your dirt without affecting the gain.
My list:
1. Delay
2. Tuner
3. some sort of boost pedal
4. Loop pedal (invaluable for practice)
5. EQ/Compressor.
hopefully not linked in that order ;)
Frist off I really enjoy your videos, have seen them all, and for me the best channel around. I have always been a "pure amp guy"... But today that changed, with this video and many others of yours in mind (and a lot of listening to The Rival Sons lately) I bought my first Fuzz that I really enjoyed- a MXR Sub Machine. It really changed everything. Thank you so much! Keep up the great work.
I can't say 5 everyone needs, but I can say if you have 5 or more, get a boost. Even if you dont have a big chain or line a boost just makes the character of each different guitar and guitar pickup really shine through so much more.
Rhett that's gotta be one of the greatest direct tones I've ever heard.
nice vid, I run Bias through my IPad and love the idea of having pretty much every amp/cab combo I can think of then add different delays, chorus and just found the synth pedal. Can't agree more to have different sounds that make you play different and try to expand your playing. I played metal for a good part of 20 years and have now just started to expand using Bias... and love it.
"The first pedal every guitarist should own is a great fuzz".....me sitting her with 4 currently on my board (5 if you count octave fuzz)
Bare Essentials no preferential order:
-Looper
-Compressor
-Overdrive (prefer an OCD type)
-Modulation (I like a multi-effects pedal for this)
-Delay
-I use my amp’s tank reverb (controlled with a foot switch)
So do I. But if your amp is old I recomend that you swap your tank for a new one (they are not expensive). When I did that to my JCM 600 it make a big difference to the Clean channel (but not to the OD channel).
1:03 THERE IT IS!!! THAR SHE BLOWS! I've been waitin for that demo. It sounds sick
Rhett - thank you for ALL the info posted accompanying this video. I purchased a Royal Jelly pedal used in your studio recording video with Noah Guthrie.
Even though I’m late to the party I do want to say that every guitar player should have an eq pedal and a compression pedal. You can really shape your tone with both of them, and can make a bad amp sound good.
Rhett, after literally over fifty years of playing (ok, playing WITH) electric guitars, I’ve recently bought my very first fuzz pedal. Jury is still out, so I’m not going to specify, but cab sims a must have? Dude, I’m not a gigging musician, just a very longtime hobbyist. Got the amps I want (well, not all of ‘em, but....) And I have tons of respect for your opinions and experience. Keep on teaching us, please, Rhett. Thanks for sharing, ese.
Great video, thanks!
Fender clean amp with reverb
1) compressor
2) delay
3) chorus
4) Texas Screamer/Tube Screamer
5) Amp in a box for what I want to play
Great commentary!
There should have been some mention of Wah-pedals, which I find to be the most personal, emotional and directly-controlled form of expression when playing guitar. Wah-pedals do more than "cry", they burst out "joy" as well.
Cheers!
Killer video Rhett! I have not found my favorite fuzz pedal or tone yet. i LOVE hearing other player's fuzz tone but have never been happy with mine! That Tone Bender makes me want to pull my fuzz back out and see if I can make it sound like what's in my head.
Awesome video Rhett! Thanks for the information.
The Earthquaker "Afterneath " never shuts off on my board. It's either the pedal that is the focus of my sound, or it's a low drone in the background . I'm glad I gave it a try!! My next purchase will be the "old blood noise Dark star"
Tone game changers: PisodiYAUWOT -emma electronic, BB preamp -xotic, D&M used as clean boosts and Super phat mod full range - keeley and Faux tape echo v2-wampler. Thanks Rhett!
Informative video! The Electro-Harmonix B9 Organ Pedal is one of those unique pedals that make you play in ways you might not have considered. I also feel the TC Electronic PolyTune is one pedal that deserves a space on the pedal board. You can certainly tune in many ways but life is so much easier with it!
Chase Bliss Thermae is my character pedal. Great material. I visited righteous guitars because of you. It was before the pandemic and I had a great visit. Demoed the black suhr hss they had there and keep thinking about it. I enjoy seeing your thoughts on different aspects of guitar. Btw, I really enjoyed your volante and deco videos. Cheers!
I run a JHS Bonsai (9 Tube Screamers) into a Boss Bluesdriver into a Klon into a Delay then D'Addario Tuner into a JHS buffered splitter into 2 amps which have Reverb and Tremolo built in. Great video Rhett as always ! :-) P.S. I only started using pedals about 4 years ago, prior to that I played 43 yrs plugged straight in to my amp.
Would love to watch a full video on all the different character pedals out there now! I've noticed a few, and your thoughts on having one are the same ones I've been having lately.
I have settled on a Clusterfuzz, and I went through quite a few fuzz pedals it sounds great, and you have 5 different clipping options, and you can mix in an 8 bit sound for a gated fuzz sound.
Great vid. I just picked up the EQD Plumes and I love it. Changed my mind on TS clones
Thank you for actually demonstrating the pedal's sounds instead of merely holding them up and describing the sound
My essentials
1) Blues Driver (Boost of Choice)
2) Angry Driver or Power Stack (Amp in a Box)
3) Delay w/tap (Canyon or Flashback)
4) Vibe/Uni vibe (Vibra Clone or Micro Vibe)
5) Tuner (Polytune)
Currently, this all there is on my board, and i might could live forever with just this.
And to add to the mix, in the spirit of the topic...I just got an Afterneath for those experimental times
I Headrush- but your advice on ‘character pedals’ is right-on... perfect for answering the question: “What should I put into my HR effects loops?” Good advice.
This was a great one! Thanks Rhett!
1. Bad Cat 2-Tone
2. Benson Preamp (any of these two pedals work both as fuzz and amp emulator pedals and I use my guitar volume knob to go from clean to fuzz and everything in between)
3. Cab emulator with reactive load to play my clean amp on any volume and go fully DI, so two previous pedals can show themselves at their best and make power tubes cooking
4. Digitech Whammy - amazing tool with great tracking
5. Synth pedals (or character pedals as you call them)
6. MultiFX pedal for delays, tremolos and reverbs to further shape my synth sounds or occasionally as an effect for guitar sound
Great video Rhett! Glad you picked some unique pedals instead of doing a 'tube screamer, reverb, tuner, etc' list lol
1. Compressor
2. Clean boost
3. JCM800 preamp
-- In effects loop:
4. Chorus/Modulation
5. Reverb
I guess the JCM800 isn't a pedal, and it doesn't have a loop without a mod, but that's a great signal chain. And who needs an overdrive/distortion pedal when you have an over driven preamp, a volume knob and a boost pedal? (Can't forget a channel switching mod with volume compensation for the low sensitivity channel). I have more than that on board, but those are my essentials, except the compressor; I just figured it'd encompass more than a wah, and be more useful than a tuner pedal, as those can be found in other forms, so as to save room in the list for the effect pedals.
My essential pedals are the GFI Systems CabZeus, Strymon DECO, J. Rockett Archer Ikon and the EQD Dispatch Master ... my add-on pedals are amp-in-a-box in front of the Ikon, and a flanger or trem pedal. The CabZeus and DECO are ace together ... foundation for wet-dry set-up.
For distortion pedals check out anything made by Brian Wampler. I use the Pinnacle and whereas other dist pedals sound thin and tinny when you roll your guitar volume back, the Pinnacle absolutely shines. IMHO your guitar volume is the acid test for whatever amp and pedal combo you're using.
I've been playing forever and only recently got my first fuzz pedal... the Constellation. I dig how double stops sound with fuzz. Lot of fun.
My essential pedalboard rig:
1) Line 6 HX Stomp
2) Source Audio Ventris Dual Reverb
3) Bogner Ecstasy Red
4) Keeley Compressor Plus
5) JHS Superbolt v.2
I think, that’s pretty enough to have the killer tones anywhere :) it doesn’t matter for me at all where should I play: even at home or at the rehearsal or on the gig, It sound AMAZING anywhere :)
Hi Rhett, here's my pedal board : Boss SD-1 + original Sansamp, Boss DM-2 + Nux timer (up to 1 second), Akaï tuner, EHX stereo electric mistress, Morley wha-volume. Amps : 1979 Fender Vibrolux reverb and Roland JC 120.
Agree for amps in pedal and cabinet simulators to avoid carrying heavy amps for gigs..
But I play bass in my actual band, (I love playing both since 40 years now..) so actually all that heavy stuff stays home ! Just carry my bass and my MB-212 Gallien Krueger for gigs, 350 real watts for 18 kilos, neodynium speakers is a great invention.
My list:
1. Wah (I modded mine)
2. Good OD as a boost or a standalone drive
3. Chorus
4. Phaser
5. Delay
I use the drive channel of my amp as well as my amp's reverb. Also I did not count the tuner pedal, as I assume we are talking about 'FX'.
So glad you included the "character" pedal in this. Could not agree more.
My rig start from the overdrive & distortion, for me is the heart of sound. I like JHS AT+, Friedman be od, Ibanez Tube screamer, Metal Zone, J-rocket Rockaway. I love your channel, I discovered a lot of things. Cheers
Tuner, EQ, looper then whatever two suit your tone/aim - drive and reverb probably for me but with a two channel amp chorus and reverb. Two channel amp with own reverb then chorus and delay.
I currently have my favourite global stomps - drive, eq, chorus, verb, delay all going into a scene pedal (amp in a box, helix stomp) looper. Never been happier
Compressor
Ns-2 must have for single coil
Reverb x2
Delay x 2
OD x 2
Boost
Distortion (fuzz)
Chorus/vibe
Volume pedal
That’s what’s on my board!
Oh and a cab sim
It started as an experiment to make my recorded sound "smaller" but now I require a 10-band EQ pedal or one of the more recent developments in overdrive pedals with six-band EQ built in such as the J. Rockett Rockaway Archer.
My favorite pedals are
Tumnus
Steel string
Empress tape delay
Anasounds Element spring reverb
Almost any chorus or flanger
For being able to get almost any sound a multifx pedal like a zoom
Man Rhett. The tones you were getting with that Les Paul were amazing!
1. Tuner
2. wah
2a. Phaser (gosh - how could I forget! And there is only one: MXR90 script handwired with no LED)
2b. Fuzz (I settled on a tone bender 3 clone that will also give me Muff tones. I run it VERY low gain)
3. boost (I use a TS with 0 gain)
4. chorus
5. tremolo
6. Delay
7. Leslie sim
8. looper (just for practicing)
Sorry it is more than 5.
And a decent amp. I just fell in love with a Traynor YCV50b.
I've used multieffects since the 90s, a collection of pedals is foreign to me.
1) BOSS GT-1000
2) I dunno, maybe buy
3) something cool
4) with the leftover
5) cash from pedals
1) Comp - Plush Effects
2) Overdrive - Timmy
3) Distortion - Hermida Zen-Drive
4) Echo - Strymon Tape
5) Reverb (special effects) - Specular Tempus
6) Clean Boost For leads
I used to have a and play a fuzz regularly, back in the day - a Morley Fuzz/Waw pedal from the 70's. I will take your advice and try a few out.
Before last week I would say a tuner pedal is the only necessity, but after 25 years of playing, I just got my first tubescreamer. Immediately started playing a bunch of songs I didn't know I knew.
I could also add a different drive, reverb, delay, and boost.
I should also add that since I switched to p90 guitars, I use less drive on my pedals, and use the volume and tone on the guitar a lot more.
I use quite a few, but I enjoy playing ambient music. So I have..tuner, compressor, pitch fork, pog, superego, la lady(can set for fuzz and od)xts atomic od, vol pedal, exp pedal, slo reverb, dig dual delay,el cap tape echo, tera echo, timeline, dark sun, big sky, boomerang. It covers quite a bit.
My top 5:
1. Tuner
2. Tubescreamer
3. High gain drive
4. Delay
5. Comp or Noise Gate
Even when using modelers this is how I set up most of my presets, except using amp models instead of drive. Also, it astounds me how some people spend $200 on their boutique drive pedal and then go on stage without a tuner...
Im just intermediate and this is my board (in order). I built it with advice from more exp musician friends of mine.
1. Xotic SP Compressor (almost got the Keeley one, i tried it out and loved it too)
2. JHS Clover Preamp (my Telecaster really comes alive with it and I can control the lows good)
3. Ibanez Tubescreamer TS9 (DUHH)
4. MXR phase 95 (for when I wanna go Budget Van Halen)
5. MXR carbon copy analog delay
6. Keeley Caverns Reverb + delay combo ( I love having a double delay. One in quarter and the other one in eights)
Next thing for me is definitely a Fuzz or a Wah I cant decide!!!
My have to have pedals are my Xotic EP booster... it’s pretty much always on. My Xotic BBPlus is my go to drive. My Strymon El Capistan is my top delay. I love my old Fulltone Deja Vibe. My fuzz of choice is the V1 Walrus Jupiter. All these sound killer in any amp and work my Strats or my Les Paul. Great video Rhett.
Dude great video 👌 thanks for all content 👍
My Top 5 Pedals:
1: Classic Big Muff Pie
2: POG
3: SD-1
4: Digitech whammy
5: Green Russian Big Muff
Russian muff 👌👌👌👌
Love the video. Never seen some of the peddles used. So many out there.
I just got a Fulltone ‘70 pedal yesterday and it blew me away. For those who don’t know it is an exact circuit copy of EJ’s blue Fuzz Face that he used on Tones and A Via Musicom. Get one, you will not be disappointed.
I really love that this episode was very useful suggestions, but not very obvious suggestions. Honestly, amp cab simulator and amp in a box is a really good idea for me. My fiancée lives with me now and I’ve been trying to get better quality ways to quietly record. Which is hard when normally I want the tone of a cranked up Marshall 😅.
EHX Oceans 11 reverb, MXR Echoplex pedal, Catalinbread DLS, Fender Pinwheel, DOD Carcosa Fuzz, Henretta Purple Octopus...my chain back to front. I agree that a good Fuzz should be in the mix, for me since I play through a 5e3 clone, my reverb pedal is the most important sound enhancer. The amp breaks up very fast, so riding the guitar volume yields a broad range of tones. Adding the Fuzz, and modulation provides a lot of ambience to the sound. The biggest part of your sound is how your guitar interacts with your amp. Still playing with the amp in a box concept
This has quickly become one of my favorite channels on youtube!
D'Wan Ellington agreed.
I reached the same conclusions as you for a cab sim, but I feel like an HX Stomp is a better option. You get impulse responses, cabs, plus amp models if you want them and the ability to fill in "bonus"effects.
Thanks for this Rhett. I love your channel. I was wondering what software you use for video/sound editing? Don't think I'm ready for UA-cam but I am interested in teaching and I think videos would be an awesome reinforcement to provide future students with ✌️😁
Amp and cab simulators appeal to me enough to do some research and possibly add to my rig. My valve head is low Wattage, and has volume, tone, and gain controls, a preamp tube and a power tube, and no effects loop. While I'm getting a satisfying range of tones from it so far, I'd love to expand on the possibilities without going crazy on an amp stack.
Being new to exploring guitar effects, my essentials so far are: noise reducer, compressor, and boost (my boost is also a preamp, and has optional distortion, with or without gain saturation). My "for fun" pedals are: fuzz, phaser, flanger, chorus, and delay. I'm very eager to add reverb and tremolo to the mix!
I can say for sure, I wasn't a fuzz guy until I made one myself. I can say for sure that it's the best fuzz I heard and I actually use it.
RS: Thank you! I have a question (and for anyone else who is interested), where do you place your Origin Effects Revival Drive in the signal chain?
+100 on the fuzz. I’ve got 3 of them, an MXR Hendrix Octave Fuzz, a Wampler Velvet Fuzz, but the one I cant live without is my Keeley Psi Fuzz! I love my delays too but other must have pedal is my Fulltone Mini Dejavibe. When I got back into playing electric after 5 years of just acoustic the first thing I bought, before an amp or a guitar, was the Dejavibe. It sat in my shelf for two months before I bought an amp and an axe. Third one creeping in is my Neunaber Immerse. Never thought much about reverbs till that one. I could probably play the rest of my life with just those three pedals, but why would I when there are so many more out their to play around and experiment with? I need to try an amp I’m a box and a cab sim. Thanks for the video, cheers!
I guess 5 most essential pedals for me are 1) overdrive
2) fuzz or wah
3) delay
4) reverb
5) chorus/flanger/phaser/looper/compressor
I play through Fender HR Deluxe’s / Deville’s , most common back line amps. With that said I use CS-3, Vox wah, Voodoo Microvibe, Xotic AC+, M9. Other stuff too but I get a lot of good tones. The cab sim box sounds like a good idea! Thanx !!

Hi, Rhett. Love every single one of your videos. I have a question about the CABZEUS pedal. Are those MIC or LINE level outputs? Thanks!
Great input. I may try the amp in a box. I do use delay on a few songs, primarily slap back. My character pedals are my RV5 set to modulation (my amps all have great reverb), my EH B-9, which I only use the B-3 effect on, and my POG which I strictly use for a 12-string emulator. Timmy for distortion, after a fat boost, wah and volume. I’ve cleared off 5 pedals recently, so I’m doing better!7
The board I'm building:
Wah (used as treble boost)
Fuzz
Univibe / Leslie
Ring modulator / octavia
