IMHO, every pedal should be named after something from Tremors............. |

| | | I must admit I had a hard time fighting against the urge of buying a BBE Two Timer based on name and looks. Luckily they are quite hard to find here in Italy, thus I gave up. |

None of my pedals have humorous names, and that's fine with me.

And it definitely lived up to its name... |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: Malmö, Sweden | | | Well, I do want a "The Great Destroyer" by Dwarfcraft Devices, and the reason it caught my attention in the first place was its name, with the Low reference. But, in the end, the only reason for my planning to actually buy one is the fact that it seems to sound good. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: Belgium | | I bought the Metal Zone because it had the word "Metal" on it. In my defense: I was 17 at the time.
Still love that pedal although I don't use it anymore.
I bought the RE-20 Space Echo, for the name.
And I do want a Hairy Balls.
Not so much for the name, but because a great national bassist makes them... an they are at a fair price. |

The first one that comes to mind is the D*A*M Ezekiel 25:17 |

Also, the green stache just looks so cool.
