You get a trinity and an herb…

[T Gobbs]

Say, gun to your head, you have to pick three pedals that make up a core tone, and one you can kick on for some flavor.

I’d run an M77 into a Talisman into a Boneshaker, with a Carbon Copy as my herb.

What about you guys?

Strymon Compadre, Deco, Flint and the herb is Volante.

 

[metropolis_4]

Pedal76 -> PA-1QG -> Lightspeed

Bathing to add flavor

 

[the swede]

Trinity T2 reverb -> Nobels odr mini2 -> Carcosa

Neunaber Wet at the end

 

[Chocol8]

Hmmmm. I use the amp for the core tone, so do I get 4 pedals to kick on?
