Delete this if it has been done before, however i couldn't find anything with "search".
I've seen a few threads pop up now and then asking for "X" pedal on the cheap. I thought it might be nice and helpful to create a nice big thread with cheap, but decent pedal reccomendations. I was hoping to keep this in the sub $100/$150 range for others, like myself, that realistically can not afford $300 for a pedal (even though we recognize it's worth it and would scoop it up in an instant were it possible). So, fire away! Let's try and help eachother out here!!

*I know I may be missing some effect types, just let me know.
**When you reccomend pedals it would be nice to add an approximate price for the pedal New and/or Used.
***Also, i realize that there are TONS of cheap pedals out there... i would like to keep this as cheap but GOOD pedals. It's be nice if you would share personal Pros and Cons as well!
****Don't be afraid to include kits and mods as well!
*****If there is JUST a new price listed; it's pretty safe to assume that a used one would simply be less.
