As much as I hate chorus, I think that list is pretty solid. My all time favorites are

 

- Fuzz Factory

- Mosrite Fuzzrite

- Maxon/Ibanez OD808

- MXR Phase90

- Univibe

 

There should be an analog delay in there too; maybe an Echoplex?

Maestro made a boat load of killer fx pedals. I used to own a Phase Shifter phaser. What a tone suck, but the phasing out of it was rich and dreamy.

I chose these as these pedals seem to be most popular on everyone's pedalboard spanding within the last 20+ years.

 

In no particular order:

 

1. Ibanez Tube Screamer (TS-808, TS-9)

2. Electro Harmonix Big Muff

3. Boss DS-1

4. MXR Phase 90

5. Electro Harmonix Memory Man

6. Electro Harmonix Electric Mistress Flanger

7. Crybaby Wah (Dunlop, Thomas Organ)

8. Fuzz Face

9. MXR Dyna Comp

10. Boss SD-1

11. Ernie Ball Volume Pedal

 

I'm not including pedals that were not around more than 20+ years ago like the Fulltone OCD....etc and other botique pedals as I believe pedals that are still available after over 20+ years have proven to be popular and stil a need for them due to their unique tone that set them apart from the rest. This gives a meaning for "Best Stomp Boxes of ALL TIME....EVER" IMHO.

No Vox wah in there? [cursing] I thought they would put it in the top 5 [thumbdn]

 

Also is the boss dd20 giga delay in the list?

The older thomas organ Vox wah were great, but the majority of wah pedals you see on pedalboards are crybaby wahs. So that is why I deliberately excluded it from my list. The DD20 is too recent to even make it on the "Best of ALL TIME" meaning its been around for a long time IMHO.

Yeah. To me the original wah was the Vox wah. Cry Baby came later.

Thanks.
