For those of you who use such things, what pedals do you normally use?

I'm only using a Boss Chorus and an ElectroHarmonix POG...

I got four Danelectro FAB pedals and a Zoom G1X multi-effects processor with expression pedal...

I don't use any of them! But I got 'em if I ever need 'em...

Acoustic board in this order:
Fender tuner
Trace SMX compressor
Jacques Overdrive (used very sparingly, but still used)
Keeley Blues Driver (primarily as a boost)
Zoom A2.1u


XLR out from the Zoom to the house board, and a 1/4" out to the AAD Cub which I use as a supplemental monitor. For one or two songs played about every three months, I'll add a Cry Baby wah on the front end of the board.

Other stuff on the 'lectric pedal board.

I use boss chorus, compressor, E.Q., and tuner pedals along with an Aphex Acoustic Exciter / D.I.

I use the compressor and the E.Q. mainly for fingerstyle stuff (or my feeble attempts at it).

Oops, forgot. If I'm playing out solo, I'll add a Boss RC20XL loop machine between the board and the amp.

I gots ta try me one of them there loop pedals.

I want something I can lay 2 parts down one by one in a live setting then play over.

Would that RC20XL do that?

1. Strum a rhythm for a measure, keep it going
2. Pick a pseudo bass line (but with a guitar) over part 1, then keep 'em both going
3. Do a lead over those 2 parts.

Easy to do live?

I sold all my analog DOD pedals a while back and bought a Digitech RP200 multi unit. Used it quite a bit but now I've stopped. With the Deacon or the Viper, it's hard to beat the nekkid sound of the guitar.

With the acoustic, I may add a little chorus or reverb from the amp, or not.

Damon, that is exactly what I do. I'll lay down a rhythm track, then a second or double rhythm track, then the melody line, then I'll either double the melody, play a counter melody or noodle live on top of the melody. Works great, eats up a lot of time, and the patrons love it. I bought this unit after watching Kaki King use the very same model. The downside is that I can't easily move into and out of tempo changes, and I have to end the songs rather abruptly, but I just stop playing, let the tracks take over and fade the the volume to nothing. A three second stomp erases everything and you're ready to repeat the process for the next number. There are other models available, both more expensive and less expensive, than the Boss RC20. Something will fit your budget. For solo instrumental performances, it is a must.

I've been trying to remember the pedals that Robert Johnson, Lonnie Johnson, Django, Charlie Christian, Tal Farlow, Barney Kessel, Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Doc Watson, Peter Green and Martin Taylor used.
I'll post them if I remember.

All I use now (for acoustic) is a Yamaha Magicstomp AG. I want to get a looper too, as I like to make drum noises on my Adamaii.

DOD Compressor and Digitech Bad Monkey tube distortion. The Toneworks PX4 (digital multi-effects) gets fairly regular use with the electric but not the acoustic guitars.

Old Zoom 504 for a touch of chorus and verb.

Just don't like to lug a bunch of crap.

Matt Smith recommended a Trace Elliot SMX dual stage compression pedal during the Amelia workshop. These things are not all that readily available, so if you're in the mood, there's one on the bay. The posting says that the 18v power supply is not included, but they also come up now and then as well. . . .

I've got one of the old Zoom 504's, too. It still does the job for chorus and reverb for me. I also have a Digitech Multi-Chorus stomp.

Electric Guitar:
None, just amp reverb, or on board distortion for my papoose. (I'm considering moving into the 21sth century and getting some sort of line 6 device, though I keep trying pedal after pedal and just going back to nothing)

Acoustic Guitar:
Alesis 6fx. A nice mixer with a mutlitude of effects.

I guess if I didn't use the Alesis, I'd use a Sans Amp, a Boss Reverb, the POG, aphex exciter and a visual sound route 66 ompression / overdrive. Or maybe the line 6 POD.

Since my amp doesn't have built-in reverb, all I have is a Line 6 Verbzilla.
It suits my needs.

Well, I've had a rethink about pedals since I got two for free and one at a ridiculously low price ...
For electric guitar
Tele copy > planet pedal tuner > BBE Green Screamer > BBE Soul Vibe > Yamaha JX30 combo with reverb. I'm thinking about getting something like an exciter. Will post more later.

...very nice.

I recently added four new Boss pedals: Boss BD-1 Blues Driver, Boss Distortion-1, Boss DD-3 Digital Delay and a Boss NS-2 Soise Suppressor.... as well as the nice new Radial Bigshot ABY Switch I got from Saint Al.... all very cool. Surely too cool for me!
