I place this before my overdrive/fuzz/vibe, and it faithfully re-creates the classic Hendrix/SRV/Clapton wah sounds

Must have pedal for the classic Jimi Hendrix fuzz tones. Can't have any pedal with a buffer in front of it. Since the Vox V847 wah is true-bypass, I can place this fuzz after the wah

This pedal paid for itself in just 1 gig. When you step on the pedal to turn it on it serves to must have functions. 1: obviously its a great tuner. 2: it mutes your signal so nobody has to hear you tune. When you tune when everyone can hear you, it's really unprofessional. Also, the muting is a must have for anyone switching instruments. Nobody wants to here that loud buzz when plugging and unplugging, plus it's not good for your amp. Must have pedal.

This compressor is one of the best studio grade compressors that money can buy. Not to mention that it takes up minimal real estate due to its compact size. This means there are 4 internal dip switches inside for a pad, high pass, low pass, and attack time. I love it right out of the box. The most special part of this pedal is the mix knob. You set your amount of compression with the 3 way switch: Low-Mid-High, and then you can blend the amount of compression you want with your dry signal. This pedal is a must have for any clean tones.

The pedal does a decent job of sounding like a Klon Centaur, and for the price of $62, you seriously cant beat it for what it does. I use it as a clean boost instead of overdrive, like John Mayer does, to either stand on it's own or to push my other pedals. It really shines when it's pushing a tubescreamer, or other similar pedals.

The Maxon OD-9 Overdrive pedal is the original tube screamer. They made the all the parts for Ibanez, with Ibanez just putting their name on top. I use this pedal as a base SRV tone, with all of the knobs around 50%. It compresses really nice and adds a great sustain to your tone. It sounds like how a tubescreamer should. I don't like how it cuts the bottom end, but hey, you really cut through the mix with the mid bump!

I use this pedal for its great overdriven tones. I really like it's flat EQ response, like how it doesn't boost the mids like a tubescreamer does. It also preserves the low end like a tubescreamer doesn't. I usually set this pedal at 25% gain and that's plenty for me. I also use it as a boost after my tubescreamer for a little bit more thickness and sustain. I do find it to be a bit bright however, so I have the tone knob tune almost all the way down, around 15%.

I love this pedal for everything it does, plus it splits my rig into stereo! I love the standard tremolo, but the opto (Fender style) and bias (VOX) style, are really killer. There is also a unique duel tremolo but I haven't found a use for it yet. The Leslie rotating speaking simulator is one of the best I've heard for the money. Not to mention the stereo separation, but you can also hear the horns and bass rotor spinning at different speeds. The uni-vibe is pretty standard, it sounds great. Finally is the Vibro-pan, sounds like a perfect mix between the Leslie and Uni-vibe sounds. I use this setting for Cold Shot by SRV

An amazing analog delay pedal. This was my first delay pedal and honestly I got it because John Mayer had one. The delay repeats are so warm and compliment your guitar lines so nice. The slap-back settings are really killer. I send this delay last in the chain to only my Fender amp, while my Traynor don't not receive the signal. This makes for a stereo/wet/dry rig.
