TC Electronic Plethora X5 Multi-Effects Pedal
Avg price: $468.94
The easy way to get your effects AND save room for drives.
This pedal allows you to gain access to all of TC's toneprint-enabled effects pedals without having a massive pedalboard. The ability to deep-dive into these effects through the editor, and through the use of an external expression pedal makes this the most detailed setup for these effects possible. If deep editing isn't your flavor the ability to load an effect, tweak the settings, and play it is also an option.
Through updates more effects have been added, and the features keep expanding. What this pedal does not do (currently, anyways) is drives. There is an effects loop to add them into the signal, or it can be used with 4-cable method to add effects before and after your drives/preamps. Routing is all digitally controlled - meaning you can have 127 different pedalboard layouts with separate routing options for each, depending on your needs. TC's effects were already amazing, now they're more compact, more versatile, and a lot more intuitive.

Wampler Gearbox - Andy Wood Signature Overdrive

Tumnus + Pinnacle = Drive Toolbox
2 of Wampler's best in one box, tweaked to play nice with each other. The Gearbox can go from soulful bluesy lead tones to saturated chugging with a few turns of the knobs. The routing options add versatility allowing you to separate the pedal into 2 different sections for use with a loop switcher. Also, a pedal can be added between the 2 sides as well. The gate feature works extremely well and makes this pedal perfect for a fly rig or mini board without having to have a separate noise gate.
