something youve always used and you think is really cool?

or could be a particular company you think makes cool pedals

heres one of mine

Boss SD-1 super overdrive

add to an already cooking Marshall and it gives you that fluid scremaing solo every time, love it

as used by

Zakk Wylde(still to this day i think)

Steve Vai (on the david lee roth albums)

Eddie Van Halen(late 80s/early 90's)

My Bad Horsie wah.

Also I still have a Nobels ODR1 overdrive which is the most transparent non-boutique drive pedal I've ever heard.

You can't beat the Boss equaliser on bass. Bloody super useful for any bass player. (not very exciting)

The EQ pedals are awesome - I've used dozens of pedals over the years, and most has gathered dust/been unuseable in a live gig. The eq pedal boosts the clean tone, and cuts through like a dream.

I love my Korg toneworks pedal. Even has a built in digital delay preset called 'These Days' (One of these Days - Pink Floyd)

Hi Robert, I have the MK1 version and love it. I'd upgrade to the MK2 version, but I'm too cheap and this damned thing will NOT break. lol!
