What's the pedal that makes your tone go down the pooper?

Granted, it's not really a pedal per se, but it sure did suck tone in bypass mode. It was really good at mangling the tone when engaged, but that was the point. |

a close second would be the Crybaby 105Q. All high frequencies seem to disappear.

I am really picky about tone suck, and find the 105Q to be no worse then any other non true bypass pedal. I hear a slight loss of ultra highs but its acceptable.
Any Boss pedal, on the other hand sucks way too much tone for me.
