I've been using the GE7, Blues Driver, DS1, Boss Tremelo, Boss Dimension C and Nobels mini ....the Boss pedals have been on my board for 40 years or so. GE7 is now off my board and used in my effects loop on my Fender amp as an attenuator. That EQ can let you adjust from single coil P90 or humbuckers....I recently added a Dispatch Master I won from Jedd Hughes in a contest and I picked up the Wampler Triumph and Phenaom pedals which love single coils. I have 3 wah wahs that I haven't played in over 20 years....I should sell them.
Thanks to this channel I resisted the urge to buy another guitar and instead bought my first tube amp, a Princeton Reverb 65 reissue. Thanks Casino Guitars!
Ooooh a pedal video! I’m excited. For years I said “I don’t need pedals!” And then I was happy with my guitars and amps so of course you need a new rabbit hole to fall down. Just ordered an Unusual EAS by blackskycraft. I like the weird modulation pedals. That wannabee dual drive is such a perfect pun, a perfect name, and it’s so PRETTY. Don’t need it but wish I did because it’s so perfect. I agree with Sean - I want a Chroma Console so bad! The limitations actually seem like a good thing for me to avoid option paralysis. And I love the vintage sounds and aesthetic.
Good video man lots of good petals out there. No love for the carbon copy delay by MXR ?I have one and I love it. It does all the delay things lol anyway, keep up the great work.
lol I’m an older guy too and most of my pedals are from 2003. I took a guitar break for several years, to be a drummer, and came back to an entirely new world of guitars and amps. Just as I’m getting settled all the prices double! 😢 Only 500,000 DS-1s? I would have guessed a lot more!
I have only a few related to the Top Ten: a 40th Ann. DS-1, a Carbon Copy Bright and a GE-7. There are way too many pedals on the pedal shelves in my music room.
Greer light speed and the 40th anniversary Nobles ODR (replaced by regular ODR with this one), have those on my tele board now and they are fantastic by themselves or stacked together!! The plumes is nice too as I use that (setting II) with a cali 1176 compressor for my lap steel board. The new Airchild 660 compressor is really good as well. Pushing that into a greer makes fantastic OD tones.
Genuine question: Since Reverb sales show what people are selling off (as in 'not keeping'), do we interpret a high ranking as a positive or a negative?
Well...every data point on Reverb includes one seller and one buyer, so at worst it's a net zero. In reality though, some reverb sales are of new stuff. So those sales don't include a seller who has had enough with this bs, but rather some retailer selling down their stock -- whereas every buyer (save perhaps the occasional Bad Monkey speculator) is someone genuinely interested in the pedal. So I think we'd have to conclude that a high ranking is at least slightly positive.
Agree with Jonathon. I kn ow what sounds I want, and I know what I need too get those sounds. I use a ZOOM multi-effects pedal, that includes reverb, echo, flanger, phaser, and some others that I don't use. My only other pedal is a Fender Pugilist, specifically for distortion.
Carbon Copys are legendary. That’s why they are on every top ten list. Ol reliable. Sean wins king hater on the internet today. I’m gonna get him a donner multi effects pedal. 😂😂 Temu is running a special today.
I prefer integration with old and new gear. It's amazing what you can do with a boost, OD, Blues pedal combined with some older inexpensive multi processor or floor unit and an IR device to pull it all together. Fun subject, very entertaining.
I think this is the difference between what do guitarist buy and "What has hype that I can find for less". That and 'What do TH-cam videos say I need and can get for less" I think if you saw a top 10 list from say, Guitar Center, Sam Ash or some local shop like Casino, the list would be WAY different. Per what I see the top 10, in reverse order is 10) The latest hot Amp in a box pedal 9) Whatever Pedal John Mayer threw on his board this week 8)Whatever Pedal Josh Scott(JHS)demoed this week and made sound like some hyper expensive classic pedal 7)A pedal some youtuber dug out of his closet and demoed and proclaimed "I forgot it sounded this great! 6)The latest EHX Pedal 5)The latest Boss Pedal 4)The latest MXR pedal 3)The Latest JHS Limited Edition pedal(The Taco Bolt anyone?!) 2)The Latest Collaboration pedal(Example JHS and EHX Lizard Queen) and number one 1)The latest pedal sent to all the youtubers who proclaim it the best thing they have ever heard and dont know how they ever got along without it.(See HX Stomp) The list you guys have are what we normal non influenced guitarist have. What sounds good and whats interesting. ANY list without a Klon on it(Tumnus for me also!!) is just FLAWED. There is a REASON JHS got a bazillion orders for a NOTAKLON in one day.
It’s cool to hate Tubescreamers because players want to separate themselves from the pack. Although, there is a reason it is one of the most popular pedals of all time. Especially stacked.
I don't know about the Noel's ODR1. I have one for sale on Gear Exchange for about two weeks and nobody has bought it. They're looking at it but no buyers.
Excluding extraneous variables (condition, shipping cost, wording of your description, photos included etc.) , the amount of time you’ll spend waiting to make a sale is directly proportional to the amount you’re willing to reduce your asking price by.
Prices on many of top rated pedals can reach level of price of Guitar and/or amp they are playing, pedals do help magically recreate tones and vibe of songs you are playing though
I like pedals, I don’t buy many. I’ve got a reverb a blues driver, a fuzz, delay, chorus, flanger and reverb. They all make way more tonal variety than I can play.
I guess there are so many different overdrives that it was hard for them all to be up there. I love my Klon but I think the "clean boost" movement maybe cut into that which is why the Klones aren't there and the Greer Lightspeed was higher than any Klone. Given the "rock is dead" talk (long live rock!) I would have thought there'd be more reverbs and atmospheric stuff. And of all the delays, why the MXR? Size? I'd have thought an Echoplex style (Dunlop EP103 or Catalinbread Belle Epoch) would be there, or maybe the Timeline still hanging strong. And where's the MXR Phase 90?
Ultimate tone is 3 tuner buffers that don't tune, and a distortion with the distortion off. Package that all in one pedal with no knobs and we're talking $$$$
Dunlop crybaby, nobels, tumnus germanium, imperial overdrive, halo, echohplex, mxr reverb, mxr super badass, omni reverb, a real klon. Both of my pedal boards. Have extras of most of those. A tuner on each board. Have 2 carbon copy pedals, a sd1, cloud burst, and several others that I dont use . Just took 10 pedals down to Sweetwater and sold. Have another 10 im taking down.😂
A little surprised no JHS pedals in the top 20...I thought one of those generic white JHS pedals they make might be top 10. Looked it up, they're called "Series 3" and $99. I don't own one so I'm part of the problem...
@Sean Hahaha! I can't stop Lolin' Out Loud! Phuckin' Sean, now there's gonna be a run on tuners. Everyone is gonna be searchin' for TWO MORE used tuners to add so they can try to attain "Super Booster" status!
I feel so far removed from pedal culture.... univibe, wah, and drive are all I ever needed and every time I try something else it gets sold in a month cuz I have no need for it.
I received my Notaklön last week, put it together - and WOOF! Great on its own or stack it w/ either a Bonsai (ironically set on Keeley mod), ODR mini, and/or an EP Booster w/ the Keeley compressor and DAMN!
Before hearing any of the lists, my guesses - 10 - Strymon Blue Sky 9 - Dunlop Fuzz Face 8 - Boss Overdrive 7 - Strymon Flint 6 - TC Ditto 5 - Dunlop Crybaby 4 - Boss Loopstation 3 - Boss Metalzone 2 - Ibanez Tubescreamer 1 - Boss Tuner
Equalizer, the most underrated pedal on a board

Right on...
nice amp man.
Great pick well done
Best possible choice for a first tube amp! Enjoy it in good health. ❤
Thanks ya’ll no one in my real life cares so I appreciate the support lol!
I love my RAT as a distortion...but I tried the Nuno thing and it really works!
Ooooh a pedal video! I’m excited. For years I said “I don’t need pedals!” And then I was happy with my guitars and amps so of course you need a new rabbit hole to fall down.

Good video man lots of good petals out there. No love for the carbon copy delay by MXR ?I have one and I love it. It does all the delay things lol anyway, keep up the great work.
Lightspeed is very tough to beat. So versatile with different settings of gain/ tone.
Good lists. Lucky for us, Keeley 4-in1 pedals can encompass so many of these, while freeing up space on our boards.
lol I’m an older guy too and most of my pedals are from 2003. I took a guitar break for several years, to be a drummer, and came back to an entirely new world of guitars and amps. Just as I’m getting settled all the prices double! 😢

I have only a few related to the Top Ten: a 40th Ann. DS-1, a Carbon Copy Bright and a GE-7.
There are way too many pedals on the pedal shelves in my music room.
Once I find "my tone" I'll stop looking. Til then take my wallet and keep sending pedals.😊🤘🎸
Greer light speed and the 40th anniversary Nobles ODR (replaced by regular ODR with this one), have those on my tele board now and they are fantastic by themselves or stacked together!!

Pedal vids are my thang!
I have a Tumnus and a backup. Sounds great stacked with a morning glory.
That TU-3 is one of the only tuners you can actually see in broad daylight. There are others but it just works.
Great video 👍 EVH Overdrive. The noise gate alone is worth it!
Love the Keelly compressor. Use it on my acoustic board.

Was hoping to see Friedman. Interested in their opinions.

Per what I see the top 10, in reverse order is
10) The latest hot Amp in a box pedal
9) Whatever Pedal John Mayer threw on his board this week
8)Whatever Pedal Josh Scott(JHS)demoed this week and made sound like some hyper expensive classic pedal
7)A pedal some youtuber dug out of his closet and demoed and proclaimed "I forgot it sounded this great!
6)The latest EHX Pedal
5)The latest Boss Pedal
4)The latest MXR pedal
3)The Latest JHS Limited Edition pedal(The Taco Bolt anyone?!)
2)The Latest Collaboration pedal(Example JHS and EHX Lizard Queen)
and number one
1)The latest pedal sent to all the youtubers who proclaim it the best thing they have ever heard and dont know how they ever got along without it.(See HX Stomp)
The list you guys have are what we normal non influenced guitarist have. What sounds good and whats interesting. ANY list without a Klon on it(Tumnus for me also!!) is just FLAWED. There is a REASON JHS got a bazillion orders for a NOTAKLON in one day.

I like pedals, I don’t buy many. I’ve got a reverb a blues driver, a fuzz, delay, chorus, flanger and reverb. They all make way more tonal variety than I can play.
Wasn't it the Stones who sang "Dancing, Dancing with Mr. T" ? (T = Tumnus!) lolin' out loud! I love this show.
I guess there are so many different overdrives that it was hard for them all to be up there. I love my Klon but I think the "clean boost" movement maybe cut into that which is why the Klones aren't there and the Greer Lightspeed was higher than any Klone.

God Bless mr. Tumnus lol! And the father that watches movies with his sick children. Great video. Hope they’re feeling better now Johnathan
I expected the Cloudburst to be one of the top 10 as well as the Nobels.
Blues Driver for sure.
The Line 6 Helix!!
Everyone needs a looper. It’s like playing with others when you don’t have anyone to play with.
It can be your imaginary band mate. 😎👻
Sean had me cracking up for this whole video 😂😂
Ultimate tone is 3 tuner buffers that don't tune, and a distortion with the distortion off. Package that all in one pedal with no knobs and we're talking $$$$
Gear worth bleeding for! Cheers Casino!!

Just took 10 pedals down to Sweetwater and sold. Have another 10 im taking down.😂
For a wha wha, I've always had the Crybaby. It quit on me, so I pick up a Hotone wha. What a difference. Set it on the warm setting. Can't be beat.
As expected, as many pedals as I own (and I own a LOT), the only one I have from any of the lists is the TU-3.
How can you not like the El Cap?
I mean really, how can anyone not love it?
“This is God’s gift of tone, Johnny!”
Oh man, the hate for the HX Stomp.
I kinda feel like my ratio of overdrive/fuzz/distortion:EVERYTHING ELSE, may be just slightly off. My top ten would have been 8:2 lol!!
A little surprised no JHS pedals in the top 20...I thought one of those generic white JHS pedals they make might be top 10. Looked it up, they're called "Series 3" and $99. I don't own one so I'm part of the problem...
Those Donner are $99. The $200 were for the limited colored ones
@Sean Hahaha! I can't stop Lolin' Out Loud! Phuckin' Sean, now there's gonna be a run on tuners. Everyone is gonna be searchin' for TWO MORE used tuners to add so they can try to attain "Super Booster" status!
Don’t forget those horrendous processing and reverb fees! Screw reverb
It really only sucks for sellers. I buy pedals used on there for less than new, even after the fees.
I prefer the TC Electronics polytune3 as a tuner (with buffer), from Strymon, I like the Mobius and last from JHS the Muffuletta.
The Wannabee is cool 😎 👌 👍
Have 6 of 10 😂
My Little Klony!
I have a Danelectro Fab board with one exception; Dunlop Cry Baby. I feel vindicated1!!! 🤣
ZOOM G1X FOUR
I feel so far removed from pedal culture.... univibe, wah, and drive are all I ever needed and every time I try something else it gets sold in a month cuz I have no need for it.
1 TC Flashback
2 JHS NOTAKLON
3 Boss DS1
4 DUNLOP CB
5 MORLEY Dragon 2
I received my Notaklön last week, put it together - and WOOF! Great on its own or stack it w/ either a Bonsai (ironically set on Keeley mod), ODR mini, and/or an EP Booster w/ the Keeley compressor and DAMN!
i own a Carbon Copy Deluxe 🤦♀
OCD
Before hearing any of the lists, my guesses -
10 - Strymon Blue Sky
9 - Dunlop Fuzz Face
8 - Boss Overdrive
7 - Strymon Flint
6 - TC Ditto
5 - Dunlop Crybaby
4 - Boss Loopstation
3 - Boss Metalzone
2 - Ibanez Tubescreamer
1 - Boss Tuner
It’s almost as if tone snobs have different opinions on pedals to the general guitarist......😂
No King of Tone? Blasphemy. No Llama? Come on!
The Carbon Copy is only good for slapback, if that is all you need then grab one.
These guys taste on delay is terrible! I have never heard anyone say anything negative about the El-Cap.
