Your must have Pedals..

On my smallest board, i always have a tuner, a boost, an od, and a delay.

normally, i like to have a couple of delays (or my Halo with the expression), a reverb, a couple of gain flavors depending on the amp, a wah, and something for some modulation.
 
I have a MIDI Controller with Expression Pedals..
Anyone have all this on one Board with their Analog Pedals??
I'm deciding how I wanna do this. I could have a potential giant Anchor for a Board..
 
Timmy, Mesa Cleo (or any great Klone), looper, delay (DIG if I must choose one), newly acquired EHX Small Stone (love it!), wah (Jam Wahcko), tuner.
BBE Sonic Stomp and Timmons compressor, have earned a permanent place on my pedalboard. Midnight Vibe and CE2 won't go anywhere.

Those are the ones I'd keep if I needed to trim the non-essential fat.
 
Tuner, wah, delay

Honorable mention for an OD or boost. Depends on the amp.

I can live without swirlies but having a vibe or rotary is nice sometimes.
 
Current favs are:

Keeley Nobels / TS deal
Digitech Luxe
Some type of Univibe
TC Flashback delay
Korg Pitchblack Tuner
 
If I boiled it down to what I actually need and use... a tuner, a wah and a delay.

I like the Peterson tuners. Love the Dunlop switchless wah and my delay crush right now is the Boss SDE-3000EVH.
 
Taking into account that the amp has enough gain without need for a pedal i.e. my JVM, then -

Boss TU3 Waza (for tuning and muting), Digital Delay w/ Presets, Phase 90 - I could get by with just that.
 
A tuner, delay & a boost. everything else are just toys & not needed for a live performance.
 
Have to add my Griffin Analog Hatter's OD to this list. One of the best ODs ever IMO. Slumped my OCD right off the board - no competition.
 
Some kind of OD is my only strict necessity. I would say a tuner, but I could always use my clip on. I can’t clip on an OD and I regularly need one.

ISP Hum Extractor. Best gate I've owned with the ability to kill 50/60 hz hum. Single coils sound incredible without hum. Would love to try other pickups like P90s or anything that has hum with it.

BigSky and NightSky. Timeline. Empress Para EQ. make up the rest of my board.

The nightsky is so damn epic. I get why it isn't larger in the guitar community as a whole but I can create such vast soundscapes with that sound machine in no time at all.

Agreed. Has some excellent "normal" reverb sounds but does the ambient/experimental/synth stuff even better. Lots of options beyond what I expected. Great for being creative and having fun.
