Here's my guitar effects pedalboard for my blues rock band. I put it together using the effects that I have, but I think I'll slowly replace each piece, except for the wah on the right and the looper on the top, which might come off completely.
From right to left:
Fulltone Clyde Wah - This is a wah wah pedal made by Mike Fuller in California. It's a great wah, and versatile due to the three position switch that allows you to adjust the sweep of the tone. The three positions are: Wacked (a reproduction of the Colorsound wah of the 60s that gives you a strong bass response), Jimi (reminiscent of Hendrix's Vox Clyde McCoy wah), and Shaft (the 70s styled wah sound). I'm still figuring out which sound works best for the blues band.
Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive - This is the pedal I'm using to get my basic low to medium gain. With my guitar's volume on full, I get a nice drive for Strat neck sounds ala Philip Sayce or Chris Duarte. When I back off the volume, I get a nice low gain sound for stuff like Little Wing. I'll play with this pedal on about 80% of the time. This pedal sounds really good - if I do replace it, the replacement will need to be really good.
Danelectro Fabtone - This is for higher gain distortion. This is a sleeper pedal, it's really good, though the treble sweep is funny - at 0, it's perfect, but anything above 2, it's really buzzy. I'll use this pedal in conjunction with the SD-1 for Gary Moore style high gain. I want to replace this pedal with a really good overdrive like the MXR 5150, and maybe add a fuzz pedal like the Mojo Hand Colossus.
Ibanez CS-9 Stereo Chorus - I'm using this guitar to get uni-vibe sounds for that SRV vibrato tone. I'm going to replace this with something that gets more authentic vibe tones.
Boss RC-1 Loop Station - this works really nicely when I'm playing by myself and I can loop my rhythm guitar to play lead over, but we'll see if my drummer can handle this. This might come off of my pedalboard completely.
Things I want to add:
A delay pedal for short quick tails. I used to own an Ibanez AD-9 delay pedal but sold it. I'm going to buy the new mini delay pedal for my board.
An envelope filter like the one Eric Gales has on his board.
I will probably also put my Boss tuner back on this board, but I'll need more power supply to do this.
