Distortion is my favorite and most used effect, so my MIJ DS-1 is at the top of the list. Because of this forum I am now also coveting a HM-2. After Distortion, it's a tie between Delay and Chorus. For me, that means a DD-6 and CE-2. Conversely, the effect that most frustrates me is Overdrive. I've had various Boss ODs and Ibanez Tubescreamers and I'm just never ultimately happy with them as a pure overdrive effect. I do like my SD-1 with my amps tube distortion, though. Really tightens it up nicely.

Used to hate the ML-2... Now it is one of my essentials (for the hard stuff), and of course the DD-7. I think the DD-7 is by far the most used pedal by myself. With a little setting/effects adjustment, the DD-7 can complement almost any sound and pedal combination, giving that little extra my ear is always looking for...

I haven't tried BF-2, but would really like too now that everyone seems to vouch for them... They really make that difference?

awesome guys!! i highly favor the Delays, don't have a distortion pedal... i link up a couple over-drives to create distortion (since distortions are usually dual-stage overdrives anyways). as far as the Boss Flangers, i've never tried any of them but would like to

even an MIT will do

as what i've heard from demos, MIJ BF-2s sounds more metallic than the MITs, mine's a bit metallic and a bit watery.

Slight edgy overdrive totally dry (no fx). I switched over to finger picking after seeing Tommy Emmanuel on TV a few months ago. The dynamics when playing+muting more than one note at once, as I used to do with a pick, makes echoes being in the way for that dynamic sound.

I use the Blackstar HT Dual. Also use the RC-2 mostly as a metronome.

I used to use the AC-2 a lot before buying the Variax.

Personally I prefer my HF2.

Had a MIJ BF2 for a while, but it just don't do what the HF2 could for me.
So I sold the BF2.

The HF2 has remained on my pedal board for over 10 years now.
Other than my DD20 delay, it's the only effect I now use.

If I was stuck on a desert island I think I'd want an RC-2 as that would keep me entertained for the longest......

Tonally though the one I like the best is the OD-1, very often my 'pedal board' consists of just that alone- nothing comes close to it at all, I just love it.........

If I had to get rid of all my pedals and just keep one that would be the keeper definately :)

The OD-2 is a pretty sweet pedal too though, thats the next best overdrive in my opinion. I used to use one of those as my main pedal before I found an OD-1......

But sentimentally maybe the MZ-2 as its the first pedal I ever had when I was 13, I'm still pretty fond of that one.......
