If you could only have/use 1 pedal for a gig what would it be??

[Sir Axeman]

Single effect pedal only...so no smarty pants with some multi Fx jobbie!

Me it'd quite possibly be my Wampler Pinnacle. If not that then certainly one of my Guv'nor pedals. 1 good OD pedal and an AC30 would do quite ok for me. The rest is just fairy dust.

I think I would go with my DL4

I think it just meets your criteria

[monquixote]

I did a gig where the sun wiped out the ability to see any of the pedals LEDs.
Ended up the doing the whole thing with just the Liquid Sunshine and the volume knob.

It was very satisfying.

Suhr Riot. I know I don't play gigs but, if I did, I'd only use a distortion / or OD pedal and a tuner.

It would depend on the gig- in my old originals band it would have been my Timefactor. If it was the current lot then Rat all the way.

As per the other thread (the never left your board thread), BOSS RT-20.

I can even use it as a drive if needs must.

Rat

Assuming my amp has 2 decent channels and reverb, I think I'd go for a delay. My Digidelay would suit me just fine.

A tube screamer just to give the Marshall a kick for solos

[digitalscream]

If I was using my own amp (and its footswitch)...then I'd only use the tuner. Tuning aside, it'd have to be the TC Flashback.

To be honest, though, I don't need any pedals since my amp has more dirt (and the right kind) than I could ever want. They just make things a little bit nicer.
