In college (late 90s) my roommate had a DigiTech PDS 2730 HotBox. He played a PRS into a MESA head and 4x12. I had a Samick KJ-560 and a Crate GX-212 combo with maybe a Metal Zone and a Vox wah. I’d seen and used multi-effects (had a Zoom 9000 for a while), but never something like this before at the time. I remember thinking it was amazing. There are a bazillion great dual overdrive/boost, and delay plus reverb is another popular combination. What are some other dual-effect pedals people are using or have their eyes on?

      EHX sure is naughty for a guitar pedal company. You got the Lizard Queen Electric Mistress in a Tone Corset and OD Glove, setting Lumberjacks into a Cock Fight, getting Satisfaction Plus with Hot Wax English Muff’n and Cntl Knob.

    My favorites are the EQD Spires and the Strymon Flint.

    Love the idea of a double fuzz that allows you to swap tones with one switch. Green side is gnarly.

    I sold my flint for more extreme reverbs but the tremolo is amazing. If they made a pedal that was just the trem side of the Flint I’d probably get it.

    The Flint is a great utility, end of the board pedal. With a favorite switch, you can save a setting with boosted level for solos, level is one of the alternate controls.

    I’m scoping out v2 since they added an alternate control for reverb pre-delay.

    Strymon Zelzah needs more recognition imo. I dialed in a super convincing Electric Mistress setting, with the time knob, and you can set the other side to envelope phaser for the funk. It’s one of the few digital modulation pedals that sound analog to me, and it’s got a lot of tricks up it’s sleeve.
