You need a delay pedal and a wah and a vibe pedal and also a fuzz face.

A 67 to 69 series Vox Wah...

I have to admit that it is the only pedal I use and predominantly as a tone color.

Actually a great example of he Vox Wah as a tone modifier would be early Michael Schenker in UFO.

Should I be swapping out the DS-1 for a fuzz pedal? Seems like the Blues Driver, Bad Monkey and DS-1 might be redundant.

Not swapping, add in a good fuzz

depends on what kinda music you play. I play both rhythm and lead. My main pedals are Keeley mod Boss Blues driver a Boss Compressor and Boss 7 band EQ, plus a GIGA 20 Delay and classic Vox wah thur my BDRI. I have it set up like this from my guitar, wah,Giga 20, compressor, blues driver, EQ to amp. And yes i go right in and I have a master volume thing in my loop ins and outs, This makes the amp super hot sounding. This wont give me the crunch sound, but hey i don't play metal , Mark

Ditch the Blues Driver and just put back in the OCD, but if your hell bent on keeping it, ditch the DS1 and get a Dallas Arbiter or a Big Muff fuzz, sell the digitech bad monkey.

But honestly the pedal you are missing is: A Wah, either a Crybaby or a Vox, really play both and decide yourself for your personall tone. Like I said a good fuzz is always an upgrade from a DS-1, i mean really, a DS-1 is like the poor mans distortion pedal, it coats, doesnt punch. MXR Phase 90 is worth looking into, really think about getting rid of your gain effects, I mean its a quality over quantity in the world of pedals. A Tube Screamer, a Big Muff, and a CryBaby are better than a whole bunch of digitech and boss pedals. Not bashing them, they have a few masterpieces, but they also have a lot of generalized ununique pedals

No need to swap, just keep adding! If the board gets full add another tier.

Or take up more floor space . . .

so you just hire a baby to crawl around on those pedals and "see what happens?"

Stratman. The 2nd pic reminds me of the largest pedal board contest they put on at the Namm show. Imagine how long it would take to find a bad connection in that chain?... I am not a huge effects person. I do believe the pedal industry was created to suck up money that would otherwise go to a decent guitar and amp combo. I have an aquaintance whose board has more money in it than all of his guitars and amps. While it is impressive and he knows how to use it by the time the signal comes out the other end I can't tell by ear if he's playing a guitar or a synthesizer. Not to mention the dance moves he uses when he plays. He never gets stage fright because he never has time to look up.

I'd like to see what Pete Cornish would do to incorporate all that into a single board.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

I hope they have power. I'd hate to get the bill for batteries!

I own a lot of pedals now but they don't get a whole lot of use. With that said, earlier this year I went on a fuzz box rampage. I discovered I didn't have a true fuzz unit . . . now I have four. And I still need to replace that long lost Uni-Vox Super-Fuzz with a clone.

Steve check out fuzzbox girl on Youtube...she has an old univox super fuzz on her reviews.

FuzzBoxGirl !!! She's like the female version of GearManDude! I watched about 6 of her demos. Since the woman demoing the pedals is wearing the same ring as the one in some of the opening pics, those might really be pics of her. Yow! Who is she? And more importantly, where can I get a vintage 1968 Univox Super-Fuzz for under $150 ?!?!
