DD3 delay thats it. Maybe a litte reverb on some songs when playing live.
In the studio I use a Presonus Studio Channel.

A lot of emotion, and a little imagination.

I have a Dunlop Q-zone pedal, which gives a Dobro-like sound, hard wired into the effects loop om my Quilter Steelaire.
Sometimes I like to sit in with blues bands and use a Pro-co Rat.
When I do my classical thing, I just use reverb.

I have a handful of effects, but most of them I use sparingly, except for reverb which gets turned up or down but never off.
For light overdrive, I have a Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive. I don't use it much.
For full-blown hippie fuzz, I have a Mahoney Buzz Tone (new production Boss Tone).
I have, and love, a vintage Mutron Phasor.
For dobrolic effects, I have a Dunlop/MXR Resonator pedal.
When I play through a Twin or my Session 400, I'll use the Tremolo now and then. My only regret on my Milkman was not asking for a tremolo. I didn't think I'd miss it. Oops, I do.
Delay? I own one. I don't like it, you can't make me use it.

Zoom MS50G and/or Boss VF-1, depends on the gig and amp setup.

Reverb and delay almost always,(TC Electronics G Sharp, or Lexicon MX300) I also have a Sarno Earth Drive which is outstanding for that overdriven smooth distortion type sound -- and I use a dobro simulator (Telonics Combo amp). Nothing much else other than those.
I have just bought back a Benado PF Steel Dream from Dallas too so I am currently having a bit of a play with that to see what it is capable of :-}

Agreed. Both Leo Fender and Tim Van Tassel did Dr. Hammond proud. |

Smoke and Mirrors and lots of reverb with a little delay at times set at 300 to 450 ms. Rack mount effects systems use either TC Electronic G Major 2 or M-OneXL. If using a stomp box it's the Hall Of Fame reverb set on "CHURCH". For most recordings I use a mix of the above reverbs when recording with at times some stereo DAW reverb,usually the free Vst Ambience.

Mostly reverb.
I use a Boss DS-1 distortion pedal on a Jason Aldean tune. I hate the DS-1 on 6 string guitar but it works with my MSA.
I use a Lexicon MX-200 for verb and delay and to create a stereo split for my Nashville 400s.

Usually reverb, [Wet] and some times delay with it, [DD-3 or Flashback].
I really like the MXR 10 band graphic eq. with my MB200 into a Telonics 15.
When I use my Nashville 112 with a Double T speaker, I just use reverb and sometimes delay. |

| Mostly just reverb. But sometimes a rotary speaker sim or a phase pedal can be lots of fun. |

Mostly just reverb. but recently our lead guitar/keyboard player had to quit the band. I got the B9 and Mel9 to cover some of the keyboard parts. I run a Hall of Fame reverb through the effects loop of my Nashville 400. The B9 covers the organ parts. I run that path into my Tech 21 Rotochoir for the leslie effect (not in pic - on ground next to my volume pedal so I can turn it on and off / speed up and slow down), then to volume pedal. The Mel9 gives me strings, violin (for "Amarillo By Morning"), and sax sounds.
I run my guitar into the Big Shot, which is an effects loop selector. This allows me to keep the effects out of my signal path from guitar/volume pedal/amp chain.

Mostly reverb and delay.
Used to have an RV3 but the knobs were kind of touchy.
Now I have a Dispatch Master and Lexicon in the Rack.
