I've owned several pedals; from multi-effects to individual pedals and sold them all out of disgust. Now I'm thinking of replacing (some of them) with the best. This is what I'm thinking:
Dunlop Crybaby Classic ---> Keely Fuzz Head ----> Dunlop Uni-vibe.
I'm thinking about adding a compressor and maybe a flanger later :-)
Of course I can't go to the store and test them because they don't carry them. I did check YouTube for examples and these are the ones I liked. I own a variety of amps and guitars. I'm moderately experienced. Play classic rock: Hendrix, Cream, Black Sabbath etc.... I've always loved the rotating speaker sound and dreamed of owning a uni-vibe. TIA

Well.. a Leslie is out of the question...I don't want to be THAT good. Might be in your budget.

It says they (Lumpys ) were use in Porn !! Ickyy !! Rv5 allows stereo in and out - thats a good thing. Wish it wasn't digital (it the only thing thats not analog or tube in my chain). has lots of different modes- I like the Plate reverb setting. MetalMuff with top boost is pretty nasty (especially when you kick in top boost ). The 808 tube screamer is way smoother and more like an over driven tube amp. Lots of time I'll run with 808 feeding Muff ( double distortion). The 808 fattens up the tone of the Muff. - For slide work I use double dist. with lots of reverb. I almost always use the chorus set to barely on, as I do with the reverb. other thing come and go. Ed S.

But with lumpy who knows?
I need a reverb unit for my br amp. I'll probably look for a used fender spring unit.

Yeah....I saw one on eBay for $400. I just keep thinking of why I got rid of all my old pedals. It'll be awhile. I figure the three pedals are going to run over $500. That's going to have to keep me happy for awhile anyway.
I heard some examples on YouTube of the re-issue Uni-vibe, through what looks like a Fender Hotrod Deluxe, that sound pretty impressive.
I don't care much about spell checking but, there sure seems to be a lot of schoolmarms in Usenet land. They get their jollies picking out minuscule details. For me, life is too short for that crap.

I think the Fuzz Head is a lock now. I've only heard good things about them plus, there are some wicked examples on YouTube. Which do you use the most: Silicone or Germanium?
The only chorus I've ever liked was a stereo chorus I had onboard in my old 2x10 Crate amp. Unfortunately, it was stolen and they don't sell that model anymore. I had a Boss CE-5 <?>. Even in stereo it sounded flat.

I use it in germanium position only. I love how I can roll off the volume on my guitar slightly and it will clean up as I do.
I had a silicone based fuzz pedal on my board for a while that was more aggressive, but it got bumped, and I kept the settings the same on the FH.

You've got what you have chained the way I would do it. Personally, I'm not a fan of running a compressor in a live guitar rig - particularly if you have a nice tube amp, but give it a go if you must.
Give the Fulltone Deja-Vibes a look - particularly the newer MDV-2 (I own an original MDV) -
In fact, give all of the Fulltone effects a look-over. I own two OCDs ( I love 'em!), an MDV, and a TTE. TTE...DROOOL!!!
I also own two Morley pedals - a wah/volume, and a wah/volume/distortion. If you like a wah with a longer throw, Morley IS the one. The wah sounds great for each, but I was very surprised by how much I like the distortion in the second one. VERY nice with my Strat...and 3-4-1 in a single pedal gets you more room on your pedalboard for other stuff.
I prefer to run a flanger, chorus, echo, or any other time based effect in the effects loop through the back of the amp, or last in the chain if I put one in the front of the amp. I recently had this flanger pointed out to me -

Fulltone is quite a bit "fuller" than the Budda and the Dunlop. I think I'd get used to the full sweep. After listening to that I can't figure out why the guy would go back to the Crybaby.

Yeah, agreed. I've got the Katana, also the Java treble booster. Both very nice pedals, and rugged as all getout. I've never tried any of their mods (but I'm tempted to).
For the fuzz, I was going to suggest the Bluebeard, which is distributed by a used instrument store near me. It's by far the best fuzz I've ever played through (it's Ge-based). However, it appears they're out of business: the store doesn't have a link to it on their web site any more, and I can't find it on the web.

I agree on the Fulltone. It's the best of what I demo'ed: Crybaby, Weeping Demon, Budda. Although I did like the Weeping Demon, and for the price it's a good buy.
I had to buy the Clyde Deluxe because GC didn't have a Standard.
The Fuzz Head I got home and it was defective. It was making a very annoying popping sound. I took it back and got one of these:
It maybe just me, but the Fuzz Head was coming off more as a boost pedal than a Fuzz.
I told the sales guy I wanted more of a Black Sabbath/Led Zeppelin sound and the Tube Zone was much closer. Nice and creamy. Should go well with the Clyde. I get to try them out now and wait for the wife to go ballistic.
