Boldest pick: Source Audio Programmable EQ

Only 10 pro artists on Equipboard own it, but it's ranked #9 in Equalizer Effects Pedals.

Noise Gate Effects Pedals

Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor

Avg price: $107.33

Great! Surpresses noise, not just gate.

I used noise gates before, the TC Electronic Sentry being the best. But this thing actually filters out noise without loss of tone, instead of just gating.

Compressor Effects Pedals

Wampler Ego Compressor

Avg price: $166.48

Smooth

I have it on most of the time. Very transparent. Less twangy in comparison to my Xotic SP, but I like the effect to be subtle. Not sure about the tone knob though, I turn it almost all the way down,

Flanger Effects Pedals

MXR M152 Micro Flanger

Avg price: $117.94

pkrul's rating:

Overdrive Effects Pedals

Great overdrive

Warm tone, great pedal.I use it together with my Analogman King of Tone pedal, great combination.

Overdrive Effects Pedals

Klon KTR

Avg price: $567.88

Great overdrive, who needs the horsie?

Great overdrive, especially at low gain into an amp on the edge of breaking up. Price is reasonable compared to the original Centaurs (what is the hype?). Only drawback is that there is no text to tell you what the knobs do.

Equalizer Effects Pedals

Source Audio Programmable EQ

Avg price: $117.00

Great EQ pedal.

Great EQ, especially because it has 4 presets that can be selected through midi. Has a "shadow" band that makes it suitable for bass players too.

Reverb Effects Pedals

Catalinbread Topanga

Avg price: $195.49

Delay Effects Pedals

Boss DD-500 Digital Delay

Avg price: $375.24

Overdrive Effects Pedals

Paul Cochrane Timmy

Avg price: $286.24

Good overdrive, a bit noisy.

I use this one for a bit more high gain overdrive, compared to the King of Tone or de Klon. Nice warm, creamy overdrive, but a bit noisy,

Distortion Effects Pedals

Classic distortion sound.

Classic distortion sound. Must have pedal. Personally, I prefer overdrive, but sometimes you have to make this sound. This anniversary edition is black instead of yellow/orange.

Pedal Tuners

TC Electronic PolyTune 3

Avg price: $65.69

Great, give me a mini!

Best tuner i.m.o. Would give it 5 stars if there was a mini-version. Tuners should not take up so much space!

Chorus Effects Pedals

Limited edition of the standard Corona.

Looks great in black. Apart from the color, exactly the same as the standard Corona Chorus.

Wah Pedals

Vox V847 Wah

Avg price: $132.49

Great with Griffin Effects modification kits.

Vox V847 Wah pedaal met Griffin Effects modification kits.

V847 Wah Q Control Mod Kit Adds a knob to control the vocal quality. This allows you to reach more McCoy vocals and is good for controlling your wah when it gets out of hand when using gain pedals.

V847 Wah Sweep Switch Mod Kit A switch to add more bass to the sweep of your wah so you don't loose the bottom end anymore. This is great for bass players also.

V847 Wah True Bypass Mod Kit True bypass and a 5mm LED. No more loss of tone or guessing if your pedal is on or off.

Overdrive Effects Pedals

Wampler Pantheon

Avg price: $180.08

Good, but no KoT killer

Nice overdrive, a bit harsh to my taste. Supposedly an Analog Man King of Tone killer. But owning them both I must say they sound quite different.

Switch Effects Pedals

Excellent Looper / Switchers with 8 programmable loops and Midi capability

Features: 1. Tiny footprint :460(L) x 96(W) x 68(H) mm 2. Instant recall, no delay at all. 3. Relay Truebypass design. 4. Individual Tuner/Mute switch 5.

Two dedicated footswitches, latch type in major presets, FS1 could be programmed as momentary footswitch controlled by shadow footswitch. 13. Intuitive Programming/Rehearsal mode.

Effects Pedal Accessories

Airturn BT-200 S-2

Avg price: $91.84

Very convenient and reliable.

I use this to turn pages of setlists, using OnSong on an iPad. Nice upgrade from previous Airturn versions. The main advantages are 9 volts power (instead of the 5 volts USB connector on previous versions) and it no longer disables the keypad of an iPad while in use.

Instrument Cables

Line 6 Relay G10S

Avg price: $205.79

Great! Finally a decent 9 volts version of this wireless set!

I've used the 'normal' Relay G10 for years, but it was never really meant to be on a pedalboard. Had to customize it to accept 9 volts.

But this version has it all! Finally...

Phaser Effects Pedals

Limited edition of the Phase 90

Limited edition of the Phase 90. Exactly the same as the original, but with a psychedelic print.

Boost Effects Pedals

Teisco Boost

Avg price: $109.50

Great board! What do you think of the KoT?

I love it! I own two (one normal, one 4-jack version) and two Prince of Tone. They are the basis of my sound.

Nice! I was curious to hear from someone that also own the Timmy and KTR. I have another year or so at least until my name is up on the list....

I like the KTR too. It’s got a bit more high end ‘bite’ than the KoT. I use it mainly for rhythm, the KoT both for rhythm and solo.

The Timmy is more saturated (and noisy), I use it for high gain solos. But most if the time I use the Paisley drive for that.

Wow what a board. The mothership.
