Recently I acquired a BCB-6 to use as an at-home pedal board, seeing as most of my effects are either at the band room, or locked in a cabinet. So having this pedalboard handy makes getting ideas out of my head easier, as I don't have to spend too much time hooking everything up now. Anyways, I got to thinking that an interesting thread would be finding out what everyone's favourite 6-pedal combo would be, and why.

My current BCB-6:

PSM-5-->SD-1-->OC-2-->DS-1-->DM-2-->EH-2

I seem to be able to get my favourite stock sounds, and I get to have some fun with the octave as well. Tone is very versatile, and the delay is, of course, very sweet.

I have a BCB 60 so no PSM5. Here is my pedalboard for bass :

FT-2-->CS-3-->SYB-5-->ODB-3-->LMB-3-->NS-2

And for acoustic guitar

BD-2-->HR-2-->DD-6-->DC-3-->EH-2-->NS-2

I have ordered a BCB-60 and it will look like this:

OC-2-->OD-3-->GE-7-->TR-2-->EH-2-->DD-3

and sometimes a CryBaby 95Q first in the chain (but outside the BCB). I will probably replace the OC-2 with a PS-5 later and place it between the TR-2 and the EH-2.

If I'd have one for guitar and bass, and use any pedals I'd want, it would probably go:

BD-2 --> SD-1 --> CE-5 --> VB-2 --> TR-2 --> RV-5

Possible replacements would be DD-3 for RV-5, but for bass reverb is probably as useful if not even more so...

If I could push the "boundary" a bit I'd have the BD2, SD1 and TR2 modded by Stinkfoot...

Can anyone think of a good 6th pedal I should add? I'm thinking of the AC-3, but I haven't heard great reviews.

^^ sure do man

i've the BF-2 set to sound like a vibrato/chorus which gives a nice glassy shimmer sound. i've the HF-2 set to a slow RATE high enough DEPTH and loads of RES so it just swirls slowly behind the BF-2. The HF-2 is one of my favorites. it never seems like there's too much of the effect. it never clouds anything.

My RV-3 actually has reverb AND delay, but to be quite honest I'm never impressed by the delay; I just can't seem to get the right setting.

Are the delay(only) pedals similar?

Can you hook the non-pedal Boss tuners up through the AC daisy chains?
