A tuner for sure. I run a Boss DD7 delay pedal because I do a couple of tunes that need a delay. Sounds cool on slower tunes if you set it up correctly. DaveT |

of course the tuner is most important. make sure you tune the guitars and bass with the same tuner unless its live. but otherrwise, od/distortion pedals have the biggest impact on tone PEDAL wise Sent from my Vortex using Gearslutz.com App

I'm sure it's different for players , but a tuner is the last thing I ever needed , I'd tune before the set and I'm good . Never needed one in all these years . To me it's like wearing a watch , if it's there I look at it all the time but if it's not I get by just fine . FYI some are tone suckers as well.
