Smile Funnest Pedal/Effect you own?

Sign in to disble this ad
Sorry if there's already a thread like this, I couldn't find one...

What's the most fun pedal or effect that you own/have owned? This isn't going to help my GAS at all, but i don't care.

Mine is probably the EHX Freeze I just bought. I don't have many pedals though, so that might change.

My OC-2. It regularly cuts out my signal completely when stomped. That's exciting.

Since I own it right now, the Eventide PitchFactor is a very fun pedal.

After that, I'd say it's my Rodger Linn Adrenalinn III with all of its wacky effects and things.

Muza FD-90

So many options it's unreal. Digital delay, analog delay, reverse delay, stereo delay, modulated delay, 2 room reverbs, 3 hall reverbs, reverse reverb, gated reverb, and more! Programmable and selectable.

All in an enclosure no bigger than a BOSS.

Best find ever.

I really wanna try out the FD-55 someday too

Line 6 FM4. Filtery synthy madness, and can save any particularly weird noise. Just wish I could get a band happening I could use it in...

DOD Vibrothang. Tremolo, phaser, modulated autowah, a touch of vibrato, and many combinations of each. Makes sounds that I can't quite get out of any other pedal or combination of pedals. Also, the EHX Riddle. Awesome and versatile envelope filter and synth pedal.

Right NOW, the most fun I have is the Supercollider. Not a lot of modulation sitting around. Been playing with speaker feedback though..

My Boss GT-6B is fun as hell to play around with. One patch I made involved a heavy distortion effect, compression, reverb, chorus, and a flanger. It sounds so completely insane that I named it "Holy S***." Never got a chance to use it, but I spent hours riffing away when practicing solo. Good times.

Much MUCH better tracking. More features. Better quality sound. Relay Bypass (will switch to bypass if power is lost) or buffered bypass. Can be used in the effects loop. Can save multiple banks of preset sounds. Works as a delay pedal with or without pitch bending. With an expression pedal you can do as much and beyond what a whammy could ever do. The list goes on.

Digitech EX-7 Expression Factory. I have wayy too much fun with it. That, and I picked it up for $74, so it was a fantastic deal.

I finally wore the dudes in my band down to point of letting me feedback and oscillate in between songs live.

My rick is hot enough to feedback on it's own but couple'd with the WMD and my delay I can make some crazy noise, a couple knob tweaks and goodbye ears.
