chapersdale's Pedalboard
New delay pedal means new, more efficient layout. Sadly my memory boy has a weird bug on the max delay time so it'll no longer do what I need of it, enter the CTC TI:ME and we're back in the game!

Mix of standard and budget
Boldest pick: Pedaltrain Classic Jr
Only 7 pro artists on Equipboard own it, but it's ranked #8 in Pedalboards.
Tone City Tiny Spring Reverb Pedal
Avg price: $59.51
Great and simple reverb
Awesome spring reverb, simple single knob control makes it very easy to use. A lot of reverb from such a small footprint!
TC Electronic Hall of Fame 2 Reverb
Avg price: $122.16
Massively versatile reverb
Really great reverb, not a bad sound in it. Does the classic spring, plate and hall really well but it excells at the more ambient sounds, church, shimmer and lofi. The tone print ability is such a fantastic idea, but I found it hard to use and so haven't really delved into it too much.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Shimmer reverb after a volume swell pedal for the ultimate ambient wash.
Avg price: $193.54
Just Wow, what a pedal!
Bought this cheap off facebook sales on a whim. Best. Purchase. Ever. Versatile is off the charts, delay and loop quality is incredible. I've lost so many hours in an spacy ethereal delay induced creative bubble and I don't think I ever want to leave. The sheer number of amateur and pros alike that use this pedal should speak for itself. If you see one, buy it.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Impossible to pick one favourite setting for this pedal. It does everything you want and more and it does it brilliantly!
The very best of both worlds
All analogue signal path, digital control. Absolutely brilliant delay! Tap tempo, note divisions, modulation, it's got it all. Unlike some delays with modulation, I find that the full range of the mod dial is completely usable.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Dotted 8th delay on the edge of self-oscillation for a perfect ambient pad
Electro-Harmonix Neo Clone Chorus
Avg price: $75.85
Great classic chorus
Fantastic chorus that I kind of bought on a whim. Got some really great usage out of it though! Despite only having 2 controls, you can get a surprising variety of tones out of this! My only drawback is an annoying pop I get when first turning the pedal on after the power has been off, it's never been enough of an issue for me to need to do anything about it so I have no idea if it's just an issue with mine or a more widespread issue
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Depth switch up, dial on half past 10 gives a great, rich, washy chorus sound; perfect for strumming chords into.
Avg price: $52.81
Great Plexi Tones
Was bought this for Christmas many moons ago and it's been on my pedal board ever since. I've used it as a lighter overdrive into a distortion, a heavier distortion after an overdrive and as an always on amp in a box "pre amp" into an amp where the standard tone just sucked. This pedal can give you a great variety of sounds depending on your gain level and guitar volume so I'd thoroughly recommend it.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Gain at 8o'clock, volume at unity and tone just before noon. Turn your guitar down to about 6/7 and you've got perfect Hendrix "clean" tone
Avg price: $37.99
Affordable, gritty Rat for all of your Rat needs
Great, affordable Rat clone that emulates the Rat and Turbo Rat sounds that have been used in countless songs spanning almost all genres. Stacks nicely with other pedals for your classic Rat tone combos. An all round good copy of the 70s icon.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Volume at 9 o'clock, Gain at 3 o'clock Filter at 11 o'clock - Perfect heavy distortion to run into a lighter overdrive like a klon or tubescreamer (or appropriate clone)
Avg price: $52.69
Perfect for small budgets
An excellent imitation of one of the most iconic overdrive sounds. The small footprint makes it great for cramming on to your pedal but the lack of space for a battery means you've got to have some sort of power supply running to it. Gets a little noise with higher volumes and gain, but I've never been disappointed with mine.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Great for use as a light gain into a distortion or as a mid boost after a fuzz such as the big muff.
Avg price: $173.17
Solid unit, but it's never big enough
Great pedalboard, comes with velcro and a carry case so you're all set to gig! Plenty of room underneath for a psu and cables. I feel like this pedalboard is a gateway pedalboard, if you enjoy pedals, your gonna want more pedals and you soon find that this one isn't quite big enough, and the next one won't be big enough either, nor the one after that... it's a slippery slope from there
