Strymon El Capistan dTape Echo
Avg price: $296.86
Versatile and powerful delay pedal
I got this along with my Strymon Bluesky and I have to say they make a powerful duo. Both Strymons produce a powerful that cuts through the mix no matter what I've playing though. The El Capistan is extremely versatile due to the multitude of options it offers. I use bright clean sounding delay on some songs and a dirty, worn out tape sound on others.

Best reverb out there!
I started using a Strymon Bluesky reverb after finding out that Ahab uses it on all of their albums. I have to say it really has to be one of the best sounding effects pedals I've ever heard, period. Besides having a multitude of different reverb settings it quite simply cuts through the mix no matter what kind of rig I'm using. Strymon has made many fine pedals but I would consider this their flagship product.

Precise tuning
The old Korg pitchblack was everything I needed but this is a total upgrade, I can always get precise tuning in a flash and the led screen is bright and easy to read.

Solid
Solid, lightweight and durable. Couldn't recommend anything else/
Neunaber Iconoclast Speaker Emulator
Avg price: $179.50
Authentic cab simulation.
This paired with the Neunaber Neuron makes pedalboard di capable. I can simply take my board to any gig and plug it into the PA. However my main use for this is for practicing in my own house through a bose speaker.
Neunaber Inspire Tri-Chorus Plus
Avg price: $232.00
Most powerful chorus pedal on the market.
I use a lot of chorus in my songs and consider it an essential part of my sound. I use the Inspire pedal because of its broad range of features and powerful, distinct chorus effect, especially on the "hex-chorus" setting.
Excellent modern OD tone.
Does an excellent job sharpening up the tone on both my Rectifier and preamp pedal.
Avg price: $200.88
Solid alternative to a full amp.
I use this pedal both as a clean boost/eq for my amp and also in conjunction with a Neunaber Iconoclast when I got without an amp. This makes my pedalboard di capable and I can basically play any venue with a decent pa without an amp if I have too. The Neuron is capable of both crushing metal tones and glassy leads.
Rules the roost.
Solved all my noise problems, I use a Mesa Triple Rectifier and this does a good job taming the noise and hum.

Great board. The Depths! I think I want one. It's the one you didn't write a review for 😁 What do you think of it? Take it or leave it, or indispensable?
Thanks! I really like The Depths, admittedly I only got it because I had room for one more pedal and an unused 18v alot. The depths sounds really unique but it can be very treble heavy so you have to be careful how you set it. For me it tends to sound better through my Neuron/Iconoclast setup than through my Mesa. I would get it if you want that Machine Gun/Bridge of Sighs sound but not if you want a regular vibrato pedal.
Awesome pedalboard.
