What's the 1 pedal you cannot live without?

[Nelskie]

Slowhand - Your TB-4 illustration is HILARIOUS!! Indeed, I'd be spinning that "talent" knob til' it busted . . . ha ha ha! Then, it's back to the old drawing board - - again.

Yeah, I'd have to be of the same opinion as the Voodooman - the DigiTech Tone driver is one helluva pedal, with buku versatility. Definitely one I couldn't live without. Guitar-wise, everything I plug into it sounds great - Strats, Les Pauls - whatever. Amp-wise, I use it primarily with my Classic 30 and Valve Jr., and that pedal totally loves both of those rigs, esp. the Jr. The morph knob combines settings for an even greater range of tone - something that my *sniff* old Ibanez Tube Screamer didn't *sob* do. Seems I'm getting verclempt ~ ~ talk amongst yourselves.

is that a discontinued model?...

[duhvoodooman***]

is that a discontinued model?...

Nope!

Tone Driver @ Musiciansfriend.com

Or you can look for a used one on eBay, where I got mine for $33....

[Nelskie]

Nope. Part of the DigiTech X-Series pedals, and probably the best-sounding one of the whole lot. I might be biased, tho'. Anyways - check it out here:

There's some sound clips there, too - bottom right hand side of the page. I believethese pedals go for around $79.99, although you may be able to get one on Ebay like Voodooman did for $35 - $40. I bought mine new. The pedal also came with a DigiTech gig-pack bonus offer, which included a nice 10' braided cloth-type cord, a small padded pedal bag, and a big packet of picks. The picks are those super slippery ones, but I made them usable by sanding both sides with 100-grit, and hitting them with a light mist of 3M spray-mount. Voila' - sticky pix!

I have the Tone Driver and Bad Monkey. I think the Monkey gets more bottom but the Driver is very flexible. I like them both a lot.

Check Harmony Central classifieds too. I got my Monkey there really cheap. $35 shipped like new with box and instructions. If you are patient you might find the Tone Driver there as well in case you can't find a deal on the bay.

The TB-4 actually has a "reverse" suck mode which is located in the mid position. Use sparingly because in this position you'll spray the audience with any food particles that haven't digested yet.

Oh, there is also a "hold" function so you can suck for a really really long time. You can leave the stage and still be sucking.

[Slowhand]

I must thank Lava Man over on the Seymour Duncan Forum for the Pic of the TB-4 I wonder if the Mk2 will have an inspiration Knob

The only pedal I can think of that I absolutely couldn't do without is my old DoD Bi-FET Pre-Amp, and the only reason for this is that the pickup in my Epiphone acoustic is one of the old skool Fishman passive piezo's (Thinline 332).

All of my other pedals enhance certain aspects of my playing, but aren't absolutely needed.

After playing with my Daz Fuzz pedal a few weeks now, I have to say I can no longer live without it! It is numba 1, shared with the Bad Mo and the Blue Mo!

[Tim]

Robert – 1 + 1 + 1 = 3. I believe the tile of the post reads: What's the 1 pedal you cannot live without? So let’s get down to the nitty gritty and fess-up what is truly the 1 pedal you cannot live without? It is decision time.

[Robert****]

Okey. It would have to be the BD-2 then.

[Spudman***]

The one pedal that I can't live with out...other than my bicycle pedals...I would have to say my Analog Man modified Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer. It is the pedal that I've had the longest and used the most consistently. I've had it since 1978. That's 30 years. I've played every gig with it since I bought it. But...now that I have a Bad Monkey...hmmm.

[Spudman***]

Robert
Is Daz Fuzz still your number one?

[snoglobe]

Boss TU-2 (on account of my tin ear)

The rest of the pedals come and go.

[R.B. Huckleberry]

Okey. It would have to be the BD-2 then.

+1. I just can't do without the Blues Driver these days.

[Rocket]

Okey. It would have to be the BD-2 then.

+1... yup Boss BD-2 Blues Driver, that the one!

I did a search for the Marshall BB-2 and it brought me to this thread (search picked up on Marshall), so I took the time to read through the four pages.

You people change your mind probably more than you change underwear. Oh, and Robert, if your North American tour ever brings you to Ohio, I am not, I repeat, I am not taking you to dinner. You would change your order before the first selection got to the table.

This is one of those GAS threads x 100

Ahem, pot calling the kettle black eh?

[just strum]

Ahem, pot calling the kettle black eh?

I meant it in a humorous way. Reading through the entire thread was comical.

Oh and I prefer a white kettle, no blue, wait make that red....
