    Only one pedal: Which one?

    If you where forced to only have one FX pedal (not counting multi-effect ones), what would it be? Distortion, reverb, flanger, phaser, etc.?

    Tubescreamer or one of the derivative pedals, but you really can't have just one. You have to have a compressor.

    Distortion. Cover more ground for me. Silver Dragon these days. Though, it does depend on the amp. If I had a TSL or my Genz Benz I may just want an echo or chorus.

    If I can get drive tones from the amp then I would have to say either a nice wah or phase pedal. If only clean for amp then I would have to settle on a good pedal for dirty rock tones.

    A well overdriven amp and a compressor. It can add sustain on leads and smooth out finger-picking/funky stuff while clean.

    Boss tuner.

    I figure if I've got an amp I can overdrive, so long as the guitar's in tune I'm good.

    Now if you were to give me TWO pedals, things change significantly...

    I'll say my Barber Direct Drive.
