Name your favorite one-trick pony pedals

[Taylor Livingston]

I'm interested in those pedals that you love but would only use on one song a set. The ones you can't justify owning, because they only do that one thing, but that one thing is pretty cool to you.

Here's what I thought of:

Slow Gear
Blue Box

What else? I know there are tons of them, but that's all I can think of offhand. They can even be funky patches from obscure rack gear, etc.

WMD Fatman. It does a wicked jungle sub-bass 'womp!' sound but didn't like it as a regular enveloper filter. It was a cool sound but I returned it as it was an expensive pedal for a sound that I didn't really use. If I was in a drum'n'bass / dubstep band though I would get the Super Fatman without a doubt.

DOD FX25B for the same reason as above

[bongomania]

DOD Meatbox
ZVez Ringtone
lo-fi broken-speaker or AM radio effects

hmm, interesting...


my nomination is the Barker Assmaster. Love it, but versatile it ain't (or subtle, understated, smooth, genteel, polite...i could go on).

actually it is capable of a few 'softer' sounds - but frankly, if you've got a plate of steak in front of you, you don't fill up on bread rolls, yaknowwammean.

Small Stone. I should own one again so I can pine about how I never use it.

[Green Mind]

I'll second the Blue Box and Ringtone.

[Kwin Smith]

Systech Phase Shifter from the '70's.
I can justify owning it though. I've had it since '84, and I never get rid of stuff.

[dullsilver_mike]

I second the slowgear. Love it to death, almost never use it.

+1 on Bassballs

[dmusic148]

DOD Octoplus. It does one thing, really, really well. Love it; it's actually the only pedal I use anymore.

[Gopher Bob]

Another for bassballs. I'm thinking about getting rid of my USA version and checking out that smaller form factor version... it just looks so much nicer.
