If I Lost Everything... The 3 Pedals I’d Start With

If I lost everything and had to start my pedalboard again from zero, these are the three pedals I’d buy first. It’s a fun thought experiment, but honestly? It taught me a lot about what I actually value in a rig. After years of trying hundreds of pedals, these three feel like the core of my sound, the tones I can build a whole board around. In this video, I’m rebuilding a minimal setup from scratch, talking through why each one made the cut, and sharing a few stories from my very first pedals. Whether you’re starting your first board, rebuilding your rig, or just curious what I’d grab in an emergency, hopefully, this gives you some ideas for your own three-pedal setup. What would your three pedals be? Drop them in the comments. 👉 How do bass pedals sound on guitar? https://youtu.be/M2hZhz8k620?si=FvceqQYcZfWFhJqb 💸 GET 5% OFF YOUR DAWSONS ORDER with code JACKSON: https://www.dawsons.co.uk/JACKSON _____________________________________ My favourite gear: • Fidelity Stellarosa Lite II • Heritage Guitars H-150 Standard - https://collabs.shop/qtrkgt • Heritage Guitars H-535 Custom Core - https://collabs.shop/st7fgw • Music Man Cutlass HSS • Music Man St Vincent • PRS Silver Sky • Victory V40 The Duchess • Victory VC35 The Copper • Victory Sheriff 25 • Boss Waza Tube Amp Expander My other affiliate links: Reverb Affiliate: https://tidd.ly/42VIVfD Andertons Affiliate: https://bit.ly/3PLuiGX Thomann Affiliate: https://clickfi.re/iELlA6O3 DISCLAIMER: Some of these links have an affiliate code, if you purchase gear with these links I will receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
