Cheapest giggable pedal?

Sign in to disble this ad
What's the least expensive giggable pedal you've ever used? Not something you got off eBay or CL, but something that sells new for very little but is totally usable?

Behringer Ultra Vibrato (27 €/new). It is a Boss VB-2 clone. Played several gigs with it and it worked like a charm.

At "new" prices, the Digitech Bad Monkey and the Boss LMB-3 are troopers.

I've played quite a few gigs with a Danelectro Fab Chorus. It worked great. Now I have it on my chuch board and it still does the job. It cost about $12 new.

I think this is enough to make me take the plunge as well.

I have to most highly recommend the BBE Opto Stomp. Got mine new in the box from a dealer on EvilBay for $65 - its a $150 pedal that typically sells for $99. If you PM me, I'll give you the dealer info - they were a straight shooting outfit, but I'm not going to advertise for them here.

Credit to Bongomania tho for his wicked reviews - they helped me settle on the BBE and I couldn't be happier. Makes everything sing a little longer, snap a little smoother, and it does it without noise or the nasty squash of some comps. And its a nice looking box. I basically never turn it off.
