What are your ‘desert island’ guitar effects

[fever606]

Easy... Big Muff (V3 or Tall Font) and my RE-150. Everything else is gravy.

RE: tuner... if there's no one else around, does it matter? As long as the guitar is in tune relative to itself, who cares if E isn't really E? Tune to the coconut that you're kicking for percussive accompaniment...

Apparently i chose the same ones everyone else chooses, fuzz and delay, but I'd like to specify that by 'delay' here I mean Montreal Assembly Count to Five, which is a bit more than just a delay. If no CT5, I'd go DMM.

I'm the asshole who voted for no effects. I honestly think I've leaving so much on the table by not experimenting more with effects, but it is what it is. I hardly ever use them. I like writing. Most of my favorite records involve very few effects, and/or effects that don't "define" the sound/ would work about as well dry.

But, if I'm gonna be on a desert island then.... probably a tape echo because they have the largest chassis and the most parts inside. The actual tap could be good cordage, and the various metal parts inside could be fashioned into fishing lures or cutting implements. Plus the case would be good for catching rain water.
