I don't actually own any pedals, due to the fact that I've always been in bands with other people who owned tons, so I don't really know what I have used. So, pedal geeks, recommend some good pedals!

ElectroHarmonix. 
-Big Muff, Memory Man, Electric Mistress, Black Finger

You might also want a Rat pedal, for a different kind of crunch.

Will look into all of the above, thanks LMNO.  :wink:

Incidentally, because they like clever names:

Big Muff, Rat = Distortion
Memory Man = Delay
Electric Mistress = Phaser
Black Finger = Compression

Have you seen this site before? I just found it today and think I just found my new video game. Also this counts as technology.

The site is useless.  Doesn't support ElectroHarmonix.

If you're the only guitarist or are otherwise playing alone, you might also want a chorus pedal to fatten up the sound a little bit, especially when you're playing clean. I think Electro-Harmonix's is called Clone Theory. The DOD chorus pedal I have is actually pretty good and probably the only decent pedal DOD made. It's discontinued now but you can occasionally find them used on line. Though I am tempted to get another one at some point with a more pronounced vibrato fuction, like maybe the BBE Mind Bender or a Univibe or something.

The Memory Man has a pretty kickass chorus as well -- after all, chorus is essentially a lightning-fast delay and some filters.

I usually turn on the chorus effect on my amp to take care of that. Having a pedal wouldn't be a bad idea though.  :)

True that. I think that's what Pat uses. I think that's the only pedal he uses really, and usually just gets distortion from his amp. Not really sure how I became a pedal junkie but I like the variety of different sounds it offers. I need to use my phaser at some point, since I haven't used it since my last band. I am quite fond of my tremolo though and is probably my favorite pedal, along with the reverb.
