Help Me Name Some Pedals

Tubey or not Tubey

I already posted this on facebook, but the folks of TalkBass have been really cool to me so I thought I would ask:

For those that don't know me (I'm not famous, but bassists seem to know me better than guitarists lately) I'm a small-scale pedal builder working out of my garage. I do it 100% for fun, it is not how I make my living as I have a solid day job. Anyway, I have a bunch of new designs I'm waiting on boards for, and I could use some help naming them. I have working titles for all of them, but I don't love the names I came up with. I posted this on Facebook as a contest, so it would only be fair to offer the same prizes here, anyone that gives a name that Iend up using will get a laser engraved plaque that says "I NAMED A SUSHI BOX PEDAL, BOW BEFORE MY GREATNESS" with your name, the pedal's name, and the Sushi Box logo.

So here's what I've got:

1) Ampeg B-15 preamp pedal with 6N21B tube. Working title: "Amp Egg"

2) Ibanez TS808 with the input and output buffers replaced with 6N21B tube stages. Working title: "Electric Potato"

3) Sunn Model T preamp pedal with 6N21B tubes. Working title: "Sunny T Lite"

4) Orange AD200B preamp pedal with 6N21B tube. Working title: "Rhymes With Orange"

5) Hybrid tube optical compressor with 6N21B tube. Working title: "Tubey Squeezy"

6) Tube tremolo with 6N21B tube. Working title: "Tubey Whirl"

7) HiWatt Dr103 preamp pedal with 6N21B tubes. Working title: "Wraith Dt103"

I like Amp Egg, but worried that it's just asking for a cease and desist order. Question - have you ever experimented with the NuTube?

Call this one "Aunt Peg" and have a picture of a middle-aged lady, a la Peggy Hill, on it.

Maybe something super mysterious? No title words on them. Just a single ancient glyph/symbol/icon/character of some sort for each one.

Ya, I love it when you have to go searching all over the net for a pedal and what it does, and I really love not being able to type in a name when discussing it here.

In other words, let's not do that

I name all my pedals John. It makes it simple. When I want more, I hit John. Drive? I step on John. Flanger? John can take me for a ride on a jet plane. Wah? John makes that sound when I step on him. Tuner? John has a great ear for pitch.

Wrong Element.

This is a stretch, but it refers to the 80's Reagan lackey James Watt who said that rock bands at July 4th concerts in D.C. attracted "the wrong element."

Whatever you say, Jimmy

The OP names seem like Line6 patch names!

I’d name each pedal in the series after the Little Rascals/Our Gang. Spanky, Alfalfa, Buckwheat, Darla and so on. Cuz why not?
