Silicon. My Bone Bender is the only germanium fuzz I own, although I owning one of the red germanium FFs is definitely on my bucket list.

Probably RM-1N just because it does the most stuff. Very simple. :lol:

Extremely close runner up if I decide I don't need reverb in this hypothetical scenario is The Elements.

Pedal-munching aliens from space come to destroy them all.

You are saved from utter annihilation by their love of purple, and get to keep only one.

It's just as believable as every other person I've met that has said they have either been abducted, is a walk-in or seen a ufo's take this type of thing so :idk:

Plus: be more lazy.. I have lots of pedals.. they are cool.. but most of the time they stay packed up as it's a pain in the ass to bother unpacking them to get that ONE for you NEED for whatever.. so... EQ :thumb:

What if it was rephrased as "If all your pedals were destroyed when your rehearsal room got flooded, and you've only got enough scratch to rebuy one pedal, what would it be"

I'd ask Doug at Mid-Fi to build me a big pedal that include: Electric Yggdrasil > Demo Tape Fuzz > Magik "I" > Full Frequency Overdrive > Clari(Pirate)

:lol: :hug: Funny you should say that... if I gave a genuine answer it was going to be “probably a mid-fi Pedal”.
