Cheap Pedals (Fuzz, Dirt, Chorus, Delay, etc...)

Some of the buyer reviews complain that the wet signal lags behind the dry, and the latency gets worse in the octave ranges. I'm slightly tempted anyway though, because it sounds like one of those cheap effects that suck at replicating an expensive effect but can be useful as their own idiosyncratic thing. The Fox Music store on Aliexpress has an 11.11 discount of $27.

Thanks for the heads up on the latency and sale!
 
HEADS UP!

From one of the other threads... MEGA-CHeapO Chorus from Hofner here:
Invalid Link Removed

$15! and there's a Blues OD and Comp for $15 each, too.


BUNCHA EBS dirt for cheap cheap cheap. $40 for the FMDisc FuzzMo *(sorta Sheehan's sig pedal without the sig), $40 for the Metal Drive; DPhaser or TremoLo for $70 each (that's less than half-price)...


I'm trying very hard not to pull the trigger, 'cause none of it interests me (and I've empty pockets at the moment), but at those prices... Yeesh!


Yes Virginia, Virgil, you too can have decent pedals on a budget ... if you're patient and ready to pounce.
 
As "cheap" is a primary requirement here, I thought it worth noting that Artist Guitars in Belfast are selling cheaper clones of the joyo ironman series on Ebay.co.uk. At 35 quid, they seem to be more or less identical to joyo's 50 pound offerings.

Presumably the "wah machine" is a clone (or perhaps a badge job) of Joyo's Wow-wah which is itself a Snow White clone. That and the chorus are the only ones I can personally recommend (assuming they're the same as the joyos). They don't seem to have an Ocho equivalent.
