Guitar & Musician Forums

Some guitarists leave certain pedals on all the time as part of their core tone. Do you have any pedals that stay permanently switched on?

I usually keep a mild overdrive on for extra warmth.

I often leave compression on because it smooths out my playing.

I prefer switching pedals on and off depending on the song.

If it is a lead tone then I will almost always have delay and reverb turned on. But I do vary up the settings of these depending on what I am doing. It is so easy to do these days with modellers / mult fx - can easily have multiple patches set up for multiple songs. Though I do have my go to favourites that I use for jamming out in the majority of times.
