essential fx in a pedal board

Tuner. Comp. Wah. Done ...

Brutalz: Tuner ->wah -> comp -> OD  -> chorus -> delay 1 -> amp -> delay 2 -> phaser.

Funk: QTron -> comp -> drive -> amp.  

It's fair to say that, while I can write stuff for brutalz with POD Farm, I won't be able to afford to be in a band unless I simplify things down to this, which would be fine.

Tuner -> Wah -> comp -> OD -> amp -> delay -> phaser

I think having 2 distortions/overdrives are important, you need some variation

tuner

the rest is just icing

Well @Barney, if we could all play as well as you, it would just be a guitar and amp
However, back in the real world, I'd go for these:-
Tuner - Compressor - Overdrive - Delay
Extra flavours - a modulation pedal (chorus or phaser) and a wah or auto-wah

Wah - fuzz - treble boost (always on) - delay.....that's my mini board, my big board just has more fuzz and a Strymon Lex. I have reverb and tremolo in the amp...so maybe I'd add those if they weren't already there

Its a rat bruvs.

frankus

Squishy Compressor (Dyna/Ross) and Vibe/Leslie type thing.

ROOG

Reverb and tremolo, (Flint)

Tuner and some sort of treble boost.

Even in my covers band I don't us any modulation or delay, can't stand either tbh.
