Best Pedal Name

[nshuman]

The Metasonix F-1 is also a good one. Not the "F-1" part, but the tagline under and the graphics on the pedal. I'll let you guys look hat up on your own so I don't break any TB rules...

 

[Lo-E]

Metasonix Scrotum Smasher

My all-time favorite. I couldn't stop laughing when it first came out and I read the description.

I also must admit that I bought the Snarling Dogs Mold Spore PsychoScumatic Wah based solely upon the name. It's a fun pedal to play with, but I would have needed to own it even if it wasn't!

Chunk Brown Dog/Octavious Squeezer, TAFM

 

[KevInDaBassment]

Well most people are naming all of the famous ones already. Personally, I'd like a pedal made for me that combines a super fast vibrato or leslie and reverb into one pedal. I'd call it the Wailing Phantasm. Would give a really spooky feel to guitar and such.

My personal favorite - the "Batch o' Ass".

when i had a swollen pickle i used to love to talk about running my swollen pickle into the big muff but now without the swollen pickle i'm left with only the muff.

I like to run my Swollen Pickle into my Anal Delay.

I'm still partial to the classic Way Huge Aqua Puss. I also really dig all of the names of the Dr. Scientist pedals: Tremolessence, Elements, Cosmichorus!

+1
Love the Aqua Puss, Supa Puss and all the Dr Scientist stuff.

Yeah, those are Canadian as well. Fairfield (Gatineau), Diamond (Dartmouth), also 6 Degrees Effects and Union (Vancouver), Empress (Ottawa), DrScientist (Summerland), Wounded Paw (TO).... And, they all have cool names!

Here's some other names I like...

From Argentina...
Velour FX Fuzzy Pussy

Cioks Pussy Power from Denmark

Mellifluous Pussy MP-1 from Chicago

Rocktron's Black Cat Moan Wah, Michigan's Battle Creek

Garnet Cat's Ass Winnipeg (I want to clone this little amp's circuit and turn it into a pedal)

"... the initial run of units made for distribution at a US trade show had the dirty input jack placed in an anotomically correct position on the cartoon cat ..."


I've got a few ideas myself ...

I will clone the Barbershop and put it in a 1590a I will call the "Shaved Pussy" with suitable graphic along these lines...

or

I've got a "few" more ideas...

 

[CrunchyFrog]

How has nobody said Bassballs yet?

It's too old and too tame in comparison to the newer, embarrassingly obnoxious (IMHO) names. I sometimes wonder if people buy this stuff for the name first, its functionality second.

 

[edencab]

on a more practical note

 

[smo]

Anarchy Audio VAGANUS.
Not just a funny name, it's a great pedal too.

 

[BartmanPDX]

For a distortion pedal, this is a fantastic name:

I like this one too -- with knobs labeled 'stink,' 'drunk,' and 'hostility.'

Not all the cool names are risqué double-entendres, though...

Erogenous Moan

Whoopsie! How'd that sneak into this post?

There's lots of great names out there that don't have to do with dubious anatomical parts nick-naming.

 

[paranoid30]

I'm afraid this is going to be a bit lost when translating, but there's a small italian company, DP Music, and their pedals have some fantastic names.
In Italian "distortion pedal" can be translated as "Distorsore". They make the CRISTORSORE:

The pope's eyes turn red when you turn on the pedal, it's the best thing I've ever seen. The controls are "Sanctity", "Prayer", "Eucharesty"..

Then there's the Phaser Nostro, a pun on "Padre nostro" (the beginnin of the "our father" prayer):

The Rosafante is a fuzz for bass, inspired by the pink elephant sawn by Barney in a Simpsons episode:

The guy is also a big Fifa fan, so he created a pedal inspired by his favourite in-game team:

 

[danyosound]

Oh gentlemen. Many of you continue and affirm the status of the old boys club... maybe. Just something to think about.

Paisley Series was cool, too.

• DF-1 Psycho Flange
• DDS-1 Sitar Swami
• LM-1 Black Paisley Liquid Metal

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the Fuzzrocious Broke Dick Peanut Gallery.

 

[jwr]

I'm going to say the Center Street God Hates Fuzz. Such a good name, but I think God loves fuzz. At least I think he does.

Also, love the Mountaking pedal names. Just makes them sound mean.

 

[Feral Feline]

Well your God may love fuzz, but the Center Street God hates it. Buddha probably likes a good buzz (in more ways than one). Other deities may dislike dirt, but a few like it Allah time – always on pedals.

My God! Is ambivalent towards Fuzz pedals, but loves navel fuzz for some reason.

Austone Fuzz Nutz, I have the TexTone version. Killer on guitar and bass with or without blend.

This is by far the most adorable pedal of all time.
