Need just one more pedal. Help me.

Okay, so heres the lowdown. I've been searching high and low for a pedal to round out my board. Ive got fuzz, wah, overdrive, delay, preamp, octave and noise reduction covered. I'm thinking some kind of modulation is in order, but I've searched the interwebs for days, and I still can't find anything. Please help me:crying:.
Edit: I like play doom, death, stoner and groove metal, if that helps any.
 
If there's a sound you need, or hear in your head, that you can't get, you need a pedal.
If there's a space on your board... leave it until you find a sound you need.
If you just have a burning desire to spend money - send it to me. :D
 
That's a good plan Rickenboogie, I just may do that. I've been eyeing a few more fuzzes. The Zve Matstotron has been on my list for a while, so has a chorus of some form. To Mr. Clifton, I've been using the interwebs as a tool to search for various effects that peek my interest, it ain't telling me nothin':smug:.

Get a Flanger pedal. They sound wicked with fuzz. I use the MXR flanger re-issue. A good phaser is also a good choice. I also mix the fuzz with a MXR Phase 100.

Maybe check out a good fuzz, octave and filter combo or just 2 of the 3. You will eventually get the third one though. I just got me a Brown Dog and now I am looking for an Agent00 funk filter. These with my BOD will end my GAS I just know it..?? Or you could just get the Trunk Monkey....
 
I vote phaser.

I have an EHX Small Stone and a Boss CE2 Chorus on my board. I love them both, but if I could only have one, it would be the phaser. It's very funky, but it seems to add a nice amount of warmth and smoothness. When used in conjunction with a fuzz and/or octave, it just sounds awesome.
