If you could only have 4 pedals...

[EmaDaCuz]

On a clean amp
OD, Dist, Reverb, Delay

On a dirt amp
OD, Fuzz, Harmonizer/Pitch Shifter, Delay

 

[pastanator]

Tuner and a gate. if I had to pick more I guess whammy and a fuzz

 

[DragonGuitar]

I think the ones that are showing up most often here, the "average" top 4, seem to be overdrive, delay, reverb, and a gate. Interesting

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

^Pretty much the obvious choices people would pick here, given the demographic.

 

[Alex Kenivel]

Ax8, FX8, Helix, HD500x

 

[InFlames235]

Ax8, FX8, Helix, HD500x

LOL.

Anyways, my four:

Multi-delay pedal like a BOSS DD-500 type, Wah pedal, Volume Pedal, Reverb.

 

[PFlynn]

It'd probably depend on the rig, but for my main live rig, I'd have to go with an overdrive, chorus, delay/echo, and a noise gate.

 

[mongey]

if I'm choosing 4 specific from my current pedal board

empress nebulus

isp gate is close but i can get by without it if I don't use my comp

 

[Jaxcharvel]

Exactly what I've whittled my board down to. OD and a gate in front, Delay and a gate in the loop.

 

[Alex Kenivel]

But in all seriousness, I'd say Digitech Whammy, SD805, ISP Deci, Carbon Copy
