As a kid I was a bit of a dinosaur nerd, so I just have to correct some things...brachiosaurus was a big sauropod, but doesn't mean "thunder lizard." That was "brontosaurus," but that was actually a mix-up of the skeleton of an apatosaurus and a diplodocus---so it's either considered "not real" or an apatosaurus.

I was going to suggest seismosaurus instead ("earth shaking lizard")---but apparently this is now considered a diplodocus?

To echo earlier suggestions, I LOVE "Compsognathus" for a compressor. Someone said "Stegosaurus Sawtooth" for fuzz, I say why not a synth? Some other options, thinking about fins or sails as waveforms: Spinosaurus and Dimetrodon (the latter is not technically a dinosaur, though).

Working in an Ankylosaurus somehow would be nice, but I can't think of what effect I would associate with "armor."

Maybe an octave? Like a second layer to the sound, or armor.

Are you designing and building real bass effects pedals? Or is this a bit of a laugh?

I mean, they aren't bass pedals (though, I am working on modding a couple designs I'm working on to work with bass), but I am definitely building pedals. Working on a bass fuzz right now, a MOSFET overdrive for guitar, an analog delay with tap tempo and modulation, and a Marshall Guv'nor clone for a buddy on here (modded for bass of course!).

I'm not sure of a name, but this has to go on a fuzz!

The color suggestions would make great pedal names!

More dinosaur nerdery---what everyone thinks as a "Velociraptor" from Jurassic Park is actually closer to a Deinonychus (author Michael Crichton used a different classification scheme that was debated at the time). I always like "Deinonychus" as a name better.
