good cable is the most important effect for all my guitars - beside that

for 12 string:
janglebox - not on mostly but it just sits there and is being used here and there
bigsby volume/tone pedal - used all the time
rockman acoustic simulator for solidbody sometimes
to aiken invader 18w to 2x12 loaded with neo celestion

for 6 string add:
sometimes true pitch vibrato and bias modulated tremolo of my juke amp via ric-o-sound
ibanez weeping demon wah
sometimes old dod fuzz or EHX POG for that hammond fake shimmering sound.
all above to samamp45 or aiken invader

for bass:1x15 fender 75 ultralinear guitar amp with reverb or direct box
dusan palka who is also known as grazioso on infamous auction web site

The only effects pedal i used was an old Korg A4. It was brilliant and i'm kicking myself for selling it years ago. It was great for vocal effects to. I've since been happy playing my rics through my Line6 Spider 2 150W, i get a really clean sound. I'm watching an A4 that has appeared on ebay, so hopefully i can snare it back!

Being basically a rhythm player I only have a couple of small pedals that I occasionally use - Boss DD6 delay and a Janglebox.

I always use my Korg AX-1500G in the loop with my new Hot Rod Deville 4X10 - for chorus or vibrato mostly but occasionally some overdrive if I don't want to use the gain in the HRD. With my JC-120 I use it for tuning only.

Been thinking about a Boss RC-2 or RX-20XL loop station..... you can do some really neat things with those! :mrgreen:

Here are some of my main pedals. Of course, I am always looking to add more and still searching for a delay pedal that fits the sound floating around in my mind.

Right now...for Ric guitars, all I have is a 660/12. For pedals, all I've got is a Fuzz Face...

The two go hand in hand when playing the solo of "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" by The Who.
