So if you were stranded on a island with an electrical outlet and a single tube amp what one pedal would you absolutely need to have with you (assuming you needed ANY pedal)?

aznrambo481 · March 26th, 2007, 09:27 PM

are you kidding? I live in an apartment, gimme a huge amp, lemme crank it all the way up and hear the cracks as the tubes break up over the ocean, man that would be pure bliss. Cold prolly use a bit of reverb though... :-)

An echo pedal so I can get that rockabilly slapback!

Which ever one comes with a live, naked girl attached to it.

Tuner.

hayseedtele · March 26th, 2007, 10:45 PM

the only pedal i use wit my rig is a dd3 but my ac30 has tremelo and reverb.

maybe one of those mod4 echoes by line 6 so i could have some cool options.

bassbuster33 · March 26th, 2007, 10:49 PM

I am going to cheat and pick a Digitech RP350:)

Well I almost said an overdrive pedal of some sort but since this is a desserted island and a tube amp I could crank this puppy with out torking off the neighbors. Still I might need an overdrive pedal just to get more of a gain boost for those times I am feeling "randy". Sure AC/DC tone is nice sometimes but sometimes that isn't enough gain. All in all though I would probably keep the amp turned down to clean because that's my style 99% of the time, in which case a delay pedal would be my main choice.

GUITARmole · March 26th, 2007, 11:34 PM

So it sounds like Delay/Echo is the top choice followed by overdrive of some sort? I guess what I was looking for was something more specific like "I couldn't live without my " XXXXX " pedal".

The naked girl pedal could be useful regardless of whether you were on an island or not

MXR Distortion +.

Probably the best candidate for knocking coconuts down from the trees too! Built like a tank.

well after all it still falls under the "single pedal" category...

SixStringSlinger · March 27th, 2007, 07:12 AM

If I can crank the tube amp without killing myself, then my Crybaby Wah.

Veitchy · March 27th, 2007, 08:04 AM

a wah, since i can get real distortion by cranking it. desert island+no neighbours.

I'd have to keep my sanity...so I'd take my modded Boss BD-2 (Blues Driver) pedal.

gerryhoban · March 28th, 2007, 08:06 AM
