my big gig amp has reverb and tubes so my fave is tremolo i got a EHX worm i speed it up with my toe but any good trem will do. real swampy sound great for Bo Diddly
I'll go along with "Oily" ..... most any of the Digitech Effects units have great processing power.
If you don't need a pedal built in ... try the Digitech RP155 (about $100)
The RP350 and 500 are similar to the one Oily mentioned. Prices go up quite a bit on these, so your budget will be a deciding factor. I believe that all of these units use the same basic electronics but in various configurations.
I do love the sound they produce and there is a built in, adjustable noise limiter (noise cancellation) that works wonders on hums, buzzes and annoying squeaks and squeals.
any kind of overdrive or distortion pedal is all i need. although a little reverb would be nice
I use an old M-Audio Black Box and play through a Fender Super Champ XD amp.
I kind of agree with Jeff Maurer. I like something to mess up the sound a little bit (or very much). Something old school or something new and spectacular. For me the CBG needs a companion as charming as itself, preferably home made in an aesthetic enclosure. The multi effect pedals can be as convenient they want, but they are just not charming enough.
I have tried a lot of pedals looking for THE sound, a lot, and I still find the rat2 the best. I play blues and don't do metal and don't let the name fool ya, the rat can do just a touch of breakup, like SRVclean to Santana thick, to Albert Collins bright. And a lot of your own tone comes through. Most boxes can't play the strat quack (2 and $) settings without muddying up and most can't do very light OD (cleanish when you play easy and rougher when you give it a spank) they fart out as your signal starts to fade. I have owned the Rat 2 for decades and recently bought a second in case the other starts to act up. I haven't had luck with the other rats. For budget, and a third the price, the Behringer TO800 is a real good pedal (they say its a tube screamer 808 model clone, can get it cheap at Walmart)
I have added a short recording on my page, one track improv, just to show the softer side of a Rat2. Strat style guitar, in the 4th position, customized by me with personalized graphics by my daughter
