Weirdest sounding effects imaginable

This forum is dedicated to all of the ideas that other people have thrown out because it sounded ridicules. For instance what would happen if you hooked up a phaser to a set of speakers that were in a circle around you, what would that sound like? Or what would happen if you hooked up a phaser with a delay and set the delay really fast or slow? Are there anymore weird ideas out there?

Guitar or bass tuned down so string are at no pitch what soever+drumsticks+distortion+Flanger+Phase Shifter+Delay=the end of the world.
Well at my friends birthday party, there just happened to be all kinds of musicians there. We hooked up 7 different amps all over the room and connected them with a few different delay pedals. 2 guitar players, me on bass, a super good drummer, and a harmonica. We turned the lights out and just started playing. There was another guy sitting in a chair with a mic screaming whenever he felt like it and saying very weird lyrics and turning different knobs on the delay pedals. It was fantastic. Sounded like "Godspeed you black emperor" or some of Pink Floyd's weirder stuff.

We were all stoned and before we all played that we went to a Pink Floyd laser light show.
