Looking for Strange and Unique Pedals

I didn't get to try it out on bass when my guitar player had one, but if you want weird, take a look at the Catalinbread Anticthon. Watch into 6:30.


That has got to be one of the most twisted pedals I've ever heard. Which is funny coming from someone who is mildly gassing for the Korg Miku.

I might be tempted. But $170 is a little too much to buy something like that as a goof. Even if you could use it to punish your drummer.

Very curious about the buffer buster, can you talk a little more about that or do you have a link to it?

Is it one of these?

BufferBuster

I've got one of these:

It's a Swedish builder and I bought it locally (www.tgt11.com). My guess is that it's difficult to find elsewhere. But the one you linked to is the same concept.

I should also add, regarding the Antichthon, that I now run it at 18V which makes it work fine without the Antiloop.

Cheers,
Kalle

Thanks! I emailed johnk, perhaps he'll build another batch that I can get in on.

I was browsing through this thread and thanks to this post I discovered a fantastic pedal. This is amazing, we sometimes include ambient or texture moments in my band and while I already have a delay this is so much different. All the video I've heard on youtube sound fantastic, I might have something for my GAS now!

To avoid only bumping the thread, I'll add a weird pedal suggestion: the Boss PS3 Pitch Shifter\Delay.
It's got several modes where the delay repetitions are pitch shifted and modified and get some pretty interesting sounds, from chorus-like to wet weirdness. And then there's the special mode number 7, a pitch-shifted reverse delay of some sorts:





Keep up the weirdness, this thread is loaded with some fantastic pedals!


When I got this pedal I literally spent hours just listening to all the sounds it could make... I made a pretty epic noise piece with it making "whales in space" by just using the pitch shifting into a delay... Pretty happy I recorded it as don't think could replicate it again now I've pulled my old pedalboard apart.

Excuse my lame video editing... And my old nickname I used to use! But hopefully this demonstrates the craziness of the PS3!
