Two-pedal pedalboard

[Joshual-L]

And a boss Tuner

This was my main pedalboard for years lol

I've played several gigs with only these two pedals:

(Axe-FX III on rack. That is not a pedal)

 

[FuzzyAce]

What amp?

Yes

Ok – a tuner and a Spruce Goose? Is the EHX Spruce Goose really that great a BB style OD? I have a Wampler Pantheon (not the double one) that has more EQ and voicing options - at least from the specs.

Maybe it is and I’m the one missing out. But I’d probably go with my OG AmpTweaker BigRockPro and a Strymon Volante with a headstock tuner.

My amp has reverb and tremolo already.

I own a polytune and Boss SD-1 in real life.

They are sufficient for me at the moment.

If I were to chose two pedals, I selected a Boss tuner because of the "large-target area" easy to hit in the dark footswitch.

I liked the demo of spruce goose which I saw on youtube. It seemed simple, yet versatile because of the bass knob. I didn't wanna suffer from option paralysis.

Many guitar players can properly utilize different voicing and EQ options on complicated pedals. I am not one of them, and I admit it.

You are clearly not as needy and emotionally co-dependent with gobs of gear like most of us here are.

There's still hope, and time, left.

I am not just the guitarist, but also a singer in our small group. I play covers in bar gigs, and I am aware of my limitations and mediocrity. This ensures I don't spend too much on gear.

It sounds silly but if I meet a genie: I would request a loud, clean, tube amp and the best earplugs in the world.

Assuming an HX Stomp doesn’t count, it would have to be delay and overdrive… el capistan and barber gain changer.

Ok, I would go for some kind of Delay for sustain and saturation and some minor modulation. A Strymon Deco or El Capistan are excellent but possibly expensive. Maybe a Boss DM-2.

I have a lot more gear than talent or chops, and don't play live, so might not be the best source of knowledge for you.

If I were to select two of the pedals I have kicking around right now, I could definitely make do with my DemonFX King of Drive and Strymon Brig into whatever amp.

I don't think I have too much talent or chops. I have seen musicians who are much more proficient than me, but they don't play live often.

I don't have any other option than playing live. Helps me keep food on the table.

I had asked for help around here sometime back when I tried to incorporate a delay pedal. It felt too much work, so I just returned the delay pedal I had bought. I am also a singer, so playing with a prominent delay and switching it on and off seemed difficult.

I use my Strymon Deco as an always-on tone sweetener and for sustain, not a prominent delay, fwiw.

That never stopped many guitar players! :)

Sorry. I should have asked this earlier.

What does the additional footswitch mounted on the ibanez delay do?

 

[newpedals]

It's ok, for the $0.00 it cost me. I'm really wanting something small and tube powered lately. I don't play anywhere but home. Christmas is coming. I should drop some hints.

I saw a small "monoprice" branded tube amp in a store which was on sale recently. It had a small, perhaps 10" speaker. Volume, tone and gain knobs. Noodled on an epiphone SG plugged into it and it sounded good.

They said such amps are available online too. If you are looking for a small and tube powered amp, you may like it.

I remembered I had read that some phasers can imitate rotating speakers. Does this one do it?

Ill check that out. I had one tube amp. Carvin x100 i think. I bought it a long time ago. My son has it now. I didn't tell him he could have it, he just took it. Fine. I told him it was ok, just dont sell it or trade it.

They sold that amp, I enquired at the store.

They suggested Bugera Brand amps. The salesman said if you are recommending it to a pro musician, he or she may like to swap the tubes in it for better ones. Best wishes!
