What effect do you 'geek' on?

[Inkstained]

I wanted to say 'delay', but on reflection ... electric guitar sounds have become so consistently dirty throughout many music forms, clean is now almost an effect, a gimmick. So I'm gonna say 'clean' (not sterile, hi-fi clean, but a nice tubey clean like you get from a Fender or Vox valve amp).

Well said. Marshall "clean" has become compelling for me lately.

For specific applications I really dig phaser.

For example, I use it on one tune in which I do a "gallop" picking on a heavily muted string in the verses. The phaser is set to a slow swirl.

Looping pedals ( depending on which one). My favorite is an older oberhem Echoplex Digital Pro. Lots of control over the loop, which modern pedals mostly lack.

I used to be more into pedals more than I am now. Nowadays, it's usually some sort of dirt pedal. The old standby is a Tube Screamer, but I also use a boost pedal when I want a little less dirt.

Two delays. One short, one long. I actually have 3 on my board.

IDK. I'm more into the chains created in my POD.

+1 I love messin' around with that thing on the computer and then uploading to the POD.

Not an effect, but that's the one thing where I chase different "colors," characters, etc.

Two delays
One short, one long
I use them when I play my song
I have three upon my board
You could even say I hoard
Sometimes my song goes on too long
And to get too many repeats of my chord!

Oh, me! Oh, my!
Oh, me! Oh, my!
I try and try and try and try
To keep delay from making you sigh
At times it seems as if I fly!
But that's enough for now, good-by!

Im all about the memory man and fuzzes at the moment. Pretty shoegaze-y

Yezzir! And of course my #1 will always be an OD of some sort. Right now it's a "not-so-secret" MXR Classic OD.

I'm not a big effect person for the most part. However, I do have a love affair with this pedal:
