6 essential guitar pedals you should buy

[@wonbangcho3687]

I’d add some kind of phaser/slow chorus/uni vibe. Something to fatten up clean and drive tones with slow wooshy goodness.

Great choices, even if I haven't tried them personally. Here's my favs that I own: Overdrives: Drunk Beaver - Bloom: Incredibly versatile and at a nice price. It has 4 clipping modes: overdirve, crunch distortion & fuzz. It looks beautiful too! Witztronics OD 3682: It's supposedly the country OD from the company. It claims to cover Blues Breaker, Timmy, Langraff OD and that hard to find King of Tones + Rat and DS-1. I don't know if that's true, but it's a versatile pedal for sure! It has 3 clipping options and a boost. Fuzz: Katanasound - Furious Man - Multifaceted Fuzz: This japanese pedal is, again, a versatile 1960's style fuzz. Reverb: Fathom Multi-Function Reverb: It's just a great "feature-rich", analogue, reverb. I'd choose this one. I'm not sure if it's entirely analogue... Tremolo: Matthew Effects - The Conductor: It's a optical tremolo featuring lots of options, though I don't use many of them. With pedals it's often set and forget. I rarely explore the sounds in depth. I have one pedal which forces me to explore: Made by Mystery - Castles: It's a chorus, vibrato, delay + + The craziest pedal that I own! Small turns of the knobs gets "new" sounds. Very sensitive knobs :) I rarely use it, but it's fun experimenting with it.

Amazing suggestions! Ashamed to admit that I haven't come across a few of them. Time to head down the rabbit-hole!

The Greer Lightspeed is a staple on many boards for a reason. Something about both the LS and the Timmy is not only do they sound great into a clean amp, but they work equally as well into an amp that is either on the edge of breakup or distorted without changing the character of the amp

[@tomfoolery2082]

Do I need both ? Iv got a Timmy am I lacking if there's not a LS ?

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

@@tomfoolery2082 Eh, they cover a lot of the same ground, but they are also versatile enough to work well with one another. While not necessary, it's not a bad idea either.

This literally describes every overdrive pedal ever.

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

@@kisschicken Eh, some overdrives can be hit or miss when used with a clean amp. Some pedals do like a bit of dirt first.

A great alternative to the Flint is the JRAD Mr. Moto. There are some trade offs. You only get spring reverb and one trem type. However, the spring emulation sounds really great, and the trem is a great sounding analog trem and you can control the wave shape to dial in different tremolo effects. Quite a bit simpler than the Flint, which can be good depending on your needs, but it just sounds absolutely killer.

[@JacksonBrooksby]

JRAD makes some great stuff but the Mr Moto flies under the radar. I'll have to check it out!

Great riffage, but even better quiffage!!

[@nathanjosephmoore]

The GreerAmp Lightspeed is a Timmy v.1 with zero more done to it than adding a clipping diode. I have no problem with a take on another pedal. My problem is if you open the pedal they covered the electronics with goop and painted out some of the parts. This in my mind is totally deceitful. If you know what you are doing you can get the goop off and the painted over parts can be traced by small differences the manufacturer of the parts makes when they make the part is different from other makers parts. Their values can be addressed with a meter to tell you what the value is. Caline make a dead on clone of the Timmy v.1 the Pure Sky but both admit and do not try and hide the parts. I prefer it because the v.1 is more open and transparent. The Caline Pure Sky is $30 ....so the LightSpeed should NOT be 10 times more ay $320.00 USD. All you get from Greer is deceit and gouging!!! Do yourself a favor and by the Caline.

This "hot take" sounds kinda personal chief. Change you show me where on the pedal the bad man hurt you?
