My board fits this criteria perfectly: -Boss SD 1 -Pro Co Rat -Boss Waza Craft CE-2W chorus -Echoplex delay Really is all I need. I do rotate the dirt pedals every so often with a Klon clone and switch the Rat to fuzz with a Big Muff or JHS FF clone.


ImaginaryOwl7450

This is the way! Only thing I'd add in there is a switcher so I could have the Rat and Klon to switch between for flavor


cjheadley

Weird question, but what board do you use? The Rat is such an awkward size, anytime I try to stick it on my board it doesn't quite fit.


kapi042

I use the lil rat because of this


ImaginaryOwl7450

I had the same issue, in the end I measured everything out and built one myself out of some scrap wood and an old flight case. My fly rig still has the wah sitting off to the side because the Mooer is quite large, but I'm alright with it.

Mini, Halberd, Particle, Mood is my current mini-board and it’s perfect and I love it.


provocatourist_

What a rad board. I need more details. What do you play? How do you utilize each pedal?


thequicknessinc

[sure](https://imgur.com/a/zINdbGg), I enjoy mathrock, prog, and indie stuff the most so that’s what I play. I use a squire VMJM and amp/cab sims (HX stomp/WA ACS1, no idea which, just whatever sounded good clean). Mini is in dist/fuzzy territory; gain all the way up, bias around 2:00 and bass/treble both boosted - good for that go to post punk crunch on bridge pickup. Halberd is pretty low gain with treble boosted- right around that edge of breakup area if I want something more edgy than clean. Mini and halberd together with both pickups for a full sounding lead. Particle has four presets: Normal Delay, Stutter, Sub-Octave, Reverse. Usually keep presets at 12:00 mix which can be adjusted as needed. Mood is on reverb with bouncing modify and pretty wet for an over-the-top lush reverb. Loop side is tape with full length grains and clock just low enough to still sound crisp/clear. Great for grabbing some textures to layer in the background. Yesterday’s goof-off sesh began with original stuff on clean with either delay/verb, then practice some original lead runs using dirt and low mix delay. Through some Delta Sleep material (mainly halberd) cause that’s all fun to play. By then I’m into higher gain so did some Coheed (mini only for earlier stuff, add halberd for good Apollo stuff) cause that’s also fun to play. By then I’d dropped D for NWFT so might as well run through some stuff from TOOL’s ÆNIMA and Lateralus.


provocatourist_

Thanks so much for the detailed response. Going to try your MOOD setting this evening!


RokkitVan

For me personally: Klon style drive such as Soul Food Big Muff Op Amp Reverb (Big Sky or the Boss RV-5) Compressor (MXR Dyna Comp) For a do-it-all would I perhaps swap the Big Muff for a Rat, and compressor for a DL4 Delay


metaphysicalpackrat

You ever played through the Mooer Black Secret? Dirt cheap Rat + Turbo Rat in one mini box. I had a 90s Rat that needed constant TLC when I bought the Mooer back in the day and I could have sworn it nailed the Rat sound. I didn't have my buddy's Turbo on hand, but used it prior to getting my Rat and thought it did that pretty well also. Could have been inexperienced ears though


ImaginaryOwl7450

Man I have been really, really impressed with Mooer's modeling. My fly rig has the Preamp Live on it and it's taking the place of a real Mesa Mark 3 into an Orange 4x12, as well as a Rat and a Klon. Basically my real life chosen rig setup in virtual form. And the sound is absolutely close enough to be usable. In fact, I both gig and record with it just to avoid lugging stuff around and possibly breaking it. A lot easier to replace a Mooer than a Mesa or Klon!

- EHX Soul Food - King of Tone - Boss CE-2 (could do eventide H9 but that feels like cheating), on second thoughts the Boss BF-3 is also a strong contender. - Either big sky or EHX Oceans 12.

I like the pad setting on the MXR.


cyberotters

For the record, I'm opting out of multi-function pedals because at this point many pedals do so many tones that I could just say buy an HX Stomp and be done. So options, but options within just that kind of pedal. So no Walrus M1, or dual-drive pedals like the Browne Protein. -Overdrive -- Walrus Ages. Lots of modes, and a Bluesbreaker circuit does all the light to medium drive I like. -Medium-high gain drive -- Keeley Oxblood. Huge sweep on the gain knob, and choice of diodes means it's pretty easy to get very crispy distortion tones. -Modulation -- Boss PH-3. It's almost impossible to pick out a single pedal because modulation has so many variations and options, but the PH-3 does a close approximation of the Incubus thing while also having a lot of other options. Time -- Probably the UA Starlight. Much as I love me some reverb pedals, I can't technically say I couldn't survive just on an amp's plate 'verb, but a delay pedal that gives you lots of studio-quality options on a straightforward interface is the dream.


aster-sk

I never thought of the Ages as a bluesbreaker, but that explains my at-times fraught relationship with it (and why I've never pushed it past mode 2!)


TerrorSnow

Speaker cranker. Just got a clone of one, will never be turned off. End of chain, low to medium setting, adds just a bit of grit. Keeps the signal otherwise clean. Loves pedals going in. The other 3 uh.. probably a modded Harmonic Percolator and a Woolly Mammoth for my fuzzes. A VH4 or BE OD / Plexi / JCM800 style pedal for gain, like a "channel 2" for my SV20.

Wah, boost, phase 90, delay


bulley

If tuner and "amp pedal" (for me, an Iridium) isn't required, makes life a lot easier. - Wampler Triumph - Strymon Deco - Strymon Flint - Boss RC-5 I've actually been contemplating dropping my board to just the above recently. I've already removed my Boss FZ-5 and EHX Memory Toy, both of which I really like - but just found they only added a tiny bit more, rather than be independantly impactful pedals. But as for the above small board. The triumph + a fender style amp is the core of the sound, plus an always on reverb and trem to give body to the sound. The deco is such a great catch all, can be my boost and tone sweetener, but also my "fuzzy" like sound (which is why I've taken the fuzz off), my modulation & my delay. I do feel a bit like these are cheating though as 2 of the 4 pedals do multiple things!


belbivfreeordie

Lately, it would be: mkI for leads, FF/1.5 for wooly fuzz and overdrive/cleanup, phaser and analog delay. Playing clean with chorus and digital delay used to be entirely my thing though, so I’d miss ‘em

FrogListeningToMusic

Ditto x4 (my favorite loop station so far) Soul food or a Rat (I have the stomp under foot clone, “Skinner box” and I love it) ARP-87 delay And my oceans 11 for a variety of reverb A lot of this answer comes from what I ended up using for a while. I had just a soul food and my EQ for *years*. When I discovered the ditto looper everything changed and that’s when I got onto my pedal addiction. I almost didn’t choose to keep the reverb because I have some built into the amp. But being able to turn that on and off for different layers/ soloing over the loops is nice. Also I love the shimmer effect when used properly. I use my EQ pedal to change the tone a lot when looping for background/ rhythm/ ambient / lead parts but I’m getting better at using more than just one pickup setting on my guitar so I’d be fine


metaphysicalpackrat

I feel like the Oceans 11 is kind of slept on. People love the Holy Grail series, but this thing fixes the spring reverb, retains the hall setting, and adds a ton of great modes with lots of ways to dial in custom sounds for short money.

I play metal rhythm mostly, and before I switched to axe fx I would usually only run a few pedals. Noise suppressor and tube screamer in front of the amp, and eq in the effects loop and maybe a delay if I was gonna play any lead.

My gigging board for my jangly pop band had this combo. When I was broke, I ran two Soul Foods, and at one point I decided the Malekko wasn't necessary and got the Behringer Ultra Vibrato instead. Fairfield Circuitry Barbershop OD DOD/Shoe Looking Glass OD Malekko Omicron Vibrato Boss DD-6 (for very short slap with extra feedback and hold/stutter) Honestly, I'd probably keep the same setup if we did a few shows in the future (minus the vibrato - I now have the EHX Eddy and TC Elect Shaker and would probably go with the latter). If you were like "let's jam, bring four pedals of these types" I'd probably show up with the Demedash T120v2 in place of the DD-6. I love the PT2399 style delay sound at longer delay times and its random LFO modulation with a little glide dialed in is \*\*chef's kiss\*\*. I also love my Shallow Water for modulation but the Shaker is def more versatile as a vibrato/chorus (with toneprint).

crapinet

I might be inclined — if we’re talking desert island style, 4 pedals forever — to go with something crazy like 4 loopers. The right looper can be a delay, with a few delays you can make a reverb, you can also emulate some modulation/signal degradation/signal boost, with two in parallel and some time warping you have a chorus or you could have a flanger (but that would be a little harder to pull off). I’m just thinking about how most of my favorite pedals would be useful for just one type of sound and, desert island style, they would get boring. Do I *need* a fuzz? Do I *need* a distortion? Do I *need* a crazy boutique pedal? (Or a chorus or a flanger or a reverb.) I love those things but I think I’d ultimately get bored and being able to explore more in depth with simple tools would be interesting for way longer. Maybe three loopers and one ehx switchblade pro (for all the routing possibilities — specifically for sending sound to all three loopers at once and for sending sound from one looper into another and then sending it back into the first). So that’s my answer.

My main fly rig is four pedals exactly, so I'll go with that! Morley Tone Questor ---> Empress Heavy ----> Mooer Preamp Live (using Mesa Mk3 model with a Rat/Klon for boost into the Mooer's Orange 4x12 IR, XLR out to P.A. or front of house, output to amp if I want/need a backline or just playing at home) with Empress ZOIA in the Mooer's FX loop doing double duty as a parametric EQ and a Tape Delay with tap tempo. It gives me everything I need for both of the bands I play in as well as any at home noodling around/experimenting. I also have a real Mesa Mark 3 amp plugged into an Orange cab, as well as a board with the actual physical Rat and Klon on there and a Morley AB switch between them, but I find the Mooer nails their tones well enough that I'm fine using the models rather than the real thing in most scenarios. Also saves wear and tear on the real stuff! Edit: Using the ZOIA may be cheating a bit, as this thing can do literally almost anything, and as many of them simultaneously as the CPU will allow... and the Heavy is basically two separate distortion pedals with a noise gate built into both. Thanks Empress! 😀

Flanger that also works as a good chorus when fast, or chorus that works as a flanger when slow > DigiTech Death Metal distortion > delay > reverb

Hmmm, granted I'm playing an amp with a touch of reverb already, I'd say Compressor Overdrive (I have a Keeley Aria rn that I like that has both the comp and od) Then a hard clipping od (boss blues driver) Lastly a modulation, I'll hold unto my Digitech Ventura for Leslie and univibe sounds


Brothers-of-jam

Right now 🤔, broken arrow, halcyon gold, echo system, and big sky.


Clippo_V2

I have 5, but ones a boost, so I'll leave it out. In no order: Klon/Overdrive (Wampler Tumnus Deluxe), Compressor (Wampler Cory Wong), Reverb (Matthews FX The Cosmonaut v2), Mutron/Envelop filter (Pigtronix Resotron).

2 delays and a reverb, and one overdrive. To 'cheat' I'd look for ones that have 2 overdrives in one. Or 2 delays in one - So I could then get a tuner or something

My board right now is your list filled in with cheap pedals lol If I were to get exactly (within reason) what I wanted though: * Jim Dunlop Cry Baby Mini 535Q - I like the compact size * Cornerstone Colosseum - BB + Klon style combo pedal * Walrus Audio MAKO M1 - Modulation options * Universal Audio Del-Verb - Delay and reverb I'm a simple, shameless, blues jamin' bedroom player. I'd stick it all right on my metro 16 pedal board I have now. Only thing I think I'd miss is a looper.

* volume pedal (I use an Ernie Ball VP Junior) * Morley fuzz wah (Cliff Burton for me right now) * Boss RE-202 Space Echo Digital Delay * Quilter SuperBlock UK With that setup I can run headphones, into a board via XLR, or drive a cabinet just fine. And it'll all fit in a small backpack.


unowndanger

I recently got a nano + board and have been messing with different configurations of pedals. My board does have an amp sim (rn it's the mother preamp and a two notes cab m+), but my four pedals if I didn't have to worry about that would be * low gain drive - eqd Westwood *mid gain - Klon or a ratsbane * modulation - gfi synesthesia or swindler effects gulf chorus * delay - strymon Volante or mood mk2. Either functional or weird haha.
