Band Wants Me To Play, Need More Gear., I need your input! Options

[Brandon Earman]

Hey GMC. Today I was invited to start playing with a rock/country cover band. I know most of the songs on their set list, however I'm concerned about my lack of a pedal board to obtain the right tones to cover a diverse set list. I'll explain my setup, then list of songs/artists. I'm wanting to know what gear you would buy right now to make me more versatile and equipped for gigging.

Guitar: '08 American Strat
Amp: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe
TS-9
Pitchblack tuner.

That's it, I just started putting my setup together as you can see and haven't gotten very far on the pedal board. Now here's some of the songs I'll be playing:

ZZ Top - Tush
Tracy Chapman - Gimmie one reason
Van Halen - Ain't Talkin' Bout Love
Eric Clapton - Cocaine
Brooks and Dunn - Neon Moon
Lynyrd Skynrd - Simple Man
Bob Seger - Turn the Page
The Toadies - Tyler
Sublime - What I Got


As you can see it's anywhere from classic rock to alternative rock to bluesy/country.

I'm thinking a delay/chorus pedal would be a good buy, but not sure what else. Any input is greatly appreciated.
