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.dubkitty wrote:silicon or germanium?Lurker13 wrote:It would be my Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face RI.

Probably RM-1N just because it does the most stuff. Very simple. 
Extremely close runner up if I decide I don't need reverb in this hypothetical scenario is The Elements.

Would someone be so kind as to outline under which circumstances I'd only be able to keep one pedal?

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 soChankgeez wrote:Somehow that seems unbelievable.

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

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"

Re: If you could keep only one of your pedals, which one?
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)
