What are your desert island effects?

Since the effects have to compliment the rest of the rig, and not the other way around, I'm going to go with the assumption that I've got my mexi SSH strat and Traynor YCV20 on the island.  The amp has 2 channels with reverb.

First pick that comes to mind is Skreddy Screwdriver.  Hands down the most versatile dirt pedal on my board right now.  It also plays really nicely with the volume knob on the guitar, so it's easy to set it fairly clean on 7 and then let 'er rip on 10.  Endless great sound combinations, so it's coming to the island.

Second pick is Tri-Vibe.  I fell in love with the sounds in the pedal a long time ago, so it's gotta come. 

Last but not least, a stupidly complex delay pedal that I could spend a lifetime mastering.  Might as well have something to keep me busy on the island.

My vintage Deluxe Memory Man, an OD (either Timmy or BB Preamp), and a boost - my favorite best sounding (with three knobs) is my "Serpent Boost" PCB - based off the Naga Viper.

A Fender Sublime is all I'd need. Then I could flip it over and use it as a boat.

My Carl Martin Comp/Limiter, my muiltmuff (four muffs in one) and my Sea Urchin.

If the amp has real reverb, then I think I'd be pretty happy with this as my pedal board:

I rarely play anything without a compressor, overdrive, and delay. Reverb is valuable, but I would choose an amp with reverb if I didn't have a pedal reverb available.

One of my pedalboards, the most simple, is an Engineer's Compressor > Super Happy OD > Classic Tremolo > Dirtbag. That keeps me pretty happy.

Tuner and maybe a delay or reverb (assuming i can only have my OR15 amp with me)
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.

Assuming I have a 2 channel amp, I'd take a wah, univibe and an overdrive

Then:
Germanium fuzz face
Multiplex Jr delay
Tonepad Ross Phaser (with width mod)

If I was truly stuck on a desert island, I'd pick:

H2O
Pork Loin
Hot Cake

But I'm a pragmatist.   ;D

Does a breadboard count as an effect  :o

Hmm, idk...big sky is the flavour of the month at the moment.  An overdrive, probably lovepedal or honeybee and a high-gain distortion, maybe upperdecker or damage control demonizer.

If my amp is the Twang King (nice reverb and trem in there) then it'd be an Ultra Stoner, Zero Point DD and a Maestro Phaser.

Juan, why not just say "Hashishian" and leave it at that? (It's one box, right? ;) )
