@ubersam, the decimator really lives up to its name?
Hmm, since were in the topic of analog setups, maybe we should have a list of recommended pedals here?
I'll start:
(Mainstream)
Compressor: MXR Super Comp - Insanely transparent compressor, relatively easy to come by, very low noise floor and great dynamics.
Wah (Tweakable): Dunlop 535q - Nothing can really match the power of a tweakable, fasel-loaded wah. Great sweep and deep vocal like wah.
Wah (Fixed): Dunlop Wylde Wah - VERY Deep vocal wah quality, perfect for rock/metal wah-meisters. Some may find the range too low.
Dirt: Carl Martin Crush Zone - Amazingly versatile pedal, great voicing. Lacks eq, but the tone control is tailored extremely well.
EQ: MXR Ten Band EQ - Transparent and Very Quiet. 10 bands of tone shaping is rivaled only by higher end EQ units.
Phase: MXR Phase 90 - A classic, very vintage-correct phaser with great voicing. Plus, with one knob, set-up is easy.
Chorus: Electro Harmonix Small Clone - Very Lush vintage chorus, simple controls with a very deep and warm chorus.
Delay: Carl Martin Red Repeat - VERY warm delay, almost sounds like an echo, the delay times are pretty short 400ms max, but is a great delay nonetheless.
Gate: MXR Smart Gate (I would put the decimator, but its too hard to find) - Second to the Decimator, this gate allows great signal integrity whilst keeping noise levels to nearly zero.
