Guitar Tone & Effects

If You Could Only Have One Effect Pedal…

By Brett ⋅ Email This Post Email This Post ⋅ Print This Post Print This Post ⋅ Post a comment

This question is more for the electric guitar players, although acoustic guitar players might be able to chime in, but, if you could only have one effect pedal, what would you pick? Also, let’s say you have a good amp. If you want, you can pick an amp and one effect pedal.

My Pick

Saying that I had a good amp, with a decent clean and overdrive channel, I know that I would definitely pick a good delay pedal. If I had to pick an all around good delay, I’d probably go with the Boss DD-20 Giga Delay (pictured). Give me a delay and I’m a happy camper.

Your Turn

You can only pick one effect pedal. What is it? Post your comments.

  2. I do only have one effect peddle… I just recently bought the Keeley Fuzz Head.

    Here’s a quick review and video with samples:

    I’m curious about compressors right now too and if I add a second pedal, it would probably be a compressor.

  3. I’d get a Fender twin, and probably use a Thro-Bak Stone Bender. Overdrive and fuzz from one pedal is hard to pass up.
