Favorite Weird/Random Pedal Names?

[Wade10987]

First rule of the Support JimmyM club, you don't talk about what happened to JimmyM...

Check out the TB lobby, there's a whole thread dedicated to him.

Gotcha. On it. Sorry if I was a little sarcastic its just soooo random.

 

[Wade10987]

Ok. So I found out he is banned. Doesn't say why. And whats the deal with banning?!? Couldn't he just make a new account?

You would have to always do it at the public library or something. Too much effort.

Brothernewt did you see the Star Wars pedal above?

I did... don't know what it does, but I love it anyway!

That's really cool!! I like the Muff part because it pays homage to the famous pedal and sounds sexual in a clever way without being over the top.

Did you paint it, paint the name on etc?

Speaking of "Muff Slap" my friend suggested "Beaver Spanker"...

I did paint it! I'll post some photos up here later on (maybe. The picture on it is a little suggestive).

It's not really an effects pedal though. The muff refers to something else entirely. All it is is a box with a footswitch. One mode of the switch goes direct from one jack to the other (so it's just a regular signal) and the other has a potentiometer in the line.

Now let me explain. Prior to improving my slap technique, if I went from finger picking to slapping I'd usually go waaaaaay to hard at it and there would be a noticable increase in volume and attack, which sounded out of place in a few songs. So in order to play these songs live I had to MUFFle my SLAP technique. Enter Muff Slap.

So I set the potentiometer to the level I want, play with my fingers until I need to slap, punch in on the pedal and then bam - instant volume drop. Seamless change.

I've since improved my technique, so it's not necessary for slap anymore. But what I've found is that it's perfect to drive a tube amp at low volumes. Of course, the same principle applies. Crank the volume on the amp, set the volume low on the Muff Slap and you get maximum tube overdrive with a lower volume!

can anybody explain to the non-native English speaker what is wrong with "Big Muff Pi" name?

 

[Wade10987]

Nothing is "wrong" with it. But The "Muff" and "Pie" refer to a woman's baby factory.

 

[jbybj]

I was under the impression that a "woman's baby factory" was her uterus, where the fetus develops. Muff Pie refers to genitalia.

Thanks for that helpful tip, Leonard.

No love for Moogerfoogers?

What about The 4'33" pedal, also from Moog?

 

[Punanius]

I always smile when I see a Wampler "Talent Booster" pedal.

Can't get the pic...Snarling Dogs yellow "Mold Spore" wah/ring-mod

Speaking of "Muff Slap" my friend suggested "Beaver Spanker"...

Dude, I suggested "Angry Beaver"

Beaver Spanker sounds like a low budget porno we made at your dad's house last summer while your sister was sleeping.

I have love for MoogerFoogers. Just no money for Moogerfoogers!!

I have a cat named Cluster, so the new ClusterFlux is pretty appealing to me.

A big muff with an octave down setting. It shall be called the Muff Diver. I've wanted to pitch this idea to EHX for a while.

I was actually searching this thread for any reference to the ClusterFlux, in the hopes that I would be the first person to mention it. That said, what about the Lovetone Ring Stinger? The Robot Factory Meatwad? Killer Wail (which is a pedal that apparently no longer exists, even on the used circuit)?

Yeah the ClusterFlux was what I thought of when I read the thread title.

That Star Wars one is pretty damn awesome.

The BBE Soul Vibe has my favorite graphic on a pedal. Always reminds me of The Ladies Man.
