Two-pedal pedalboard

[Sleezy E]

Love the 3 knob versions too. It was my first ever drive pedal. Still have it. Not quite as robust as the big brothers but still sweet tones. I have 2 of the big ones as well. BK still makes them as far as I know?

A former bandmate gave it to me when he was downsizing. I never used it much but kept it because it sounded good and seemed unique. If they still make them I guess not, lol

Well I guess it does a decent facsimile thereof. However I use a real Leslie G27 rotating cab, so I'm the wrong person to ask.

I envy you

I am assuming pedals like this one simulate a rotating speaker, upto an extent. They are portable too.

But real leslies always sound so good.

I think an MXR Phaser can do a reasonable facsimile of a Leslie on the cheap.
Just a great effect for adding some subtle texture and movement without
throwing your timing off like a delay pedal can.

Phase 95 gets a lot of love and is fairly cheap and easily found all across the
Globe. Ok, maybe not Antarctica.

What a stupid question for this message board. If I could only have two pedals, the world could as well have stopped spinning already.

 

[Aelred]

Tremolo and Phaser can get close, but there's a few Leslie pedals out there.

For a small, clean tube amp on the cheap maybe a (used) Vox AC10C? Crowther Hot Cake to go with it.

IRJ and VP4 would be killer
but more spirit of the thread
El Cap and Riverside

We still don't know what guitar and amp the OP is using with his Polytune and SD-1.

If any, hence the later wish for a tube amp and earplugs.

 

[Sascha Franck]

If it was really just two non-programmable pedals and a single channel pedal platform amp, I'd likely go for either an OCD (or clone), a JRockett "The Dude" (which I absolutely happen to love) or maybe even an ODR-1 (would possibly buy the new version with dedicated bass control) on the dirt side and possibly a NUX Atlantic because it has delay and reverb in one pedal (I'd vastly prefer a Source Audio Collider, but that's programmable).
Ah well, as I usually want at least a simple boost here and there, I might perhaps get a different dirt pedal as well, featuring on/off and boost switches.

I am a woman.

I play an hardtail HSS strat into a 5 watt supro amp.

However, I created this thread to find out two pedals which others would use with their guitar and amp.

I have a habit of rambling, sorry for that.

I have a weakness for loud, clean tube amps. I will use earplugs so that I could listen to them without going deaf :)

It feels challenging to incorporate a leslie speaker or such a pedal into our rigs, because it will probably be used momentarily and will have to be switched on and off. Unless it is being used for an original song. I appreciate those who use rotating speakers and relevant simulator pedals. It is never easy to tap dance.

A forum member who had replied me on here was looking into small tube amps to be bought for Christmas.

Thank you for suggesting a small VOX amp to him.

Sorry! My bad entirely.

I assume the Supro has reverb. When 1 pedal is a tuner that kinda limits the other options, especially if you don't care for adjusting them on the fly.

The Boss SD-1 is a classic for a reason, as are Klones, or a RAT if you are looking for some extra Gain. I don't know Supro amps, but they have a great reputation.

From elsewhere online, they seem to like Fuzz. A DOD Carcosa is a good, inexpensive intro to Fuzz.

It's all right.

It's hard for me to tune with clip on tuners, as I play covers in bars with background noise.

I love my amp.

My comment here is only to show that I can't give an objective opinion on using a EHX Small Stone for rotary sounds because I don't use pedals for rotary sounds. However if that is a sound you're looking for, a lot of people do use pedals for rotary sounds.

Yes a Leslie speaker cab is not necessarily a good practical solution. They're heavy. However when you turn off the rotating speaker it becomes a regular guitar cab and can be used for "standard guitar amp" sounds without the rotating speaker.

A small lightweight amp that serves me well and is easy to carry at 20 lbs. is a Fender '68 Vibrochamp Reverb. Even though it has '68 in the name, it is a current amp. They're all tube 5 watt, have a 10" speaker with a great clean sound. The best features are a built in good digital reverb and a great sounding tube driven tremelo. That's two less pedals to carry. The only thing about this amp is, give it 2 or 3 weeks of playing it every day to break in and it will sound much better. I use it for clean jazz, and country rock. But it has a nice sound when you push it into breakup too.

Good luck with your search for the pedals that work for you.

I don't think I will ever part with my SD-1 or tuner.

It is nice to know which two pedals others will chose with their guitar and amp.

Saw an amazing guitarist last night playing classic rock. He only had these two pedals, the bluesky may have been v1. He had ziptied them to a plank of wood.

Is this cheating?

There's no crying cheating in baseball rig whoredom!

Hmmm, some sort of Strymon delay, and a Mesa Road King footswitch...?
