What blocks do you use most? (18 block limit)

[solo-act]

I could use your help gang, I'm working on something and need as many block lists as I can get.
Thanks a million for pitching in and post your list.

Like title says blocks you use most - with 18 block limit.
If you use very few, include your one-off specialty blocks as well.
Or, if you have a 30 block template and tend to max memory with huge variety of blocks in every patch, try to trim it down to your 18 most used.

I don't use a lot of blocks, but here's what I use most plus my one-off specialty blocks.
drive 1
drive 2
compressor
multiband compressor
wah
amp 1
amp 2
cab 1
delay 1
phaser 1
flanger 1
filter block 1 (as clean boost)
chorus 1
multiband chorus 1
PEQ 1
Reverb 1
Rotary 1
tremolo 1

[barhrecords]

Drive -> Amp -> Cab -> Delay -> Reverb -> Geq

 

[Sidivan]

Drive -> Amp -> Cab -> Delay -> Reverb -> Geq

Pretty much the same for me, but swap out the GEQ for a Null Filter (boost) and toss a wah in front. Delay, Drive, and Filter all tied to External 1 (My lead button) and Wah with auto-on. So....

Wah -> Drive -> Amp -> Cab -> Delay -> Reverb -> Filter

I have a 1-off patch that goes like this:

Amp -> Cab -> Synth -> Amp -> Cab -> Sidechained reverb -> Main chained delay -> GEQ -> Vol/pan

The first amp and cab are probably unnecessary in this situation as I could just use a compressor, but that's just not how this patch started when I was experimenting.

too lazy to type them 8)

 

[Sebastian]

Hmm... most used: shunt

Notable mentions:
Amp1
Cab1
Chorus1
Comp1
Delay1
Drive1
Filter1
Flanger1
Looper
MultiDelay1
PanTrem1
Phaser1
Pitch1
Pitch2
Reverb1
Synth1
VolPan1
Wah1

Note, that I rarely use "virtual pedalboard" patches, but tailormade ones for my own songs or parts thereof. Most are simple in content and routing, others, e.g. synth background, clean guitar, lead guitar and looper in one patch are intricate and also take time to set up all the controllers and modifiers.

just updated with more info and added volume 1 (it's in 95% of my patches)

drive 1
drive 2
reverb 1
reverb 2
delay 1
delay 2
chorus 1
flange 1
phaser 1
synth 1
wah 1
pan trem 1
compressor 1
compressor 2
PEQ 1

i run my axe 2 in front of a tube amp so i never use the amp or cab blocks

 

[solo-act]

Here's the data so far.
Blocks used by 5 or more users:
Amp1
Amp2
Cab1
Chorus1
Compressor1
Delay1
Drive1
Filter1
Flanger1
Phaser1
Reverb1
Volume1

I could use more lists/data, so please pitch in.

Wah

Chorus1
Feedback Send
feedback Return
Flanger1
Phaser1
Rotory 1
Pan/Trem 1
Delay 1
Multi Delay 1
Reverb 1
Cab 1
FX Block
PEQ1

Well, thats 20 - BUT not sure if Feedback Send & Return count - its just to extend my run. if they DO count and i have to ditch 2 - either the 2 Filters (used to keep the patch vol the same when i engage the drives) OR the Chorus and Multi Delay would go. i dont use them that much.

 

[Scrutinizer]

I usually use just these 8 blocks:
amp1
cab1
comp1,
wah1
drive1
delay1
multidelay1
reverb1

These ones I use less often:
chorus1
flanger1
phaser1
pitch1
rotary1
trem1
ring mod
synth1
peq1
looper

just curious, if this is your virtual pedalboard (i asume this since you use it in 95%), why and how to you use the synth block?

well, i have different patches with different effect configurations. a typical patch would be: compressor 1 - compressor 2 - drive 1 - drive 2 - chorus - phaser - delay 1 - delay 2 - reverb 1 - reverb 2. i will swap in a wah or a tremelo block instead of the phaser in some patches. i don't use the synth much- mainly for doubling keyboard parts on club date gigs.
