What's the weirdest pedal you own?

I don't own any "wierd" pedals perse, but when some are used together, they make some crazy noises.

My Morley Bass Dual Wah used with my ODB-3 on a high setting can shell out some wierd frequencies and feedback like there's no tomorrow. Sometimes when it's feeding back, I can change the pitch of the feedback with the wah.

It's awesome.
 
Crowther Audio Prunes&Custard, although I think its about to get taken off the board... as soon as that tasty looking Iron Ether Bubble Chamber comes out :D

I actually bought another Prunes & Custard in anticipation of using it WITH the Bubble Chamber. Considering how well it pairs with the Moog LPF I have high hopes for the combo.

My "weirdest" pedal is usually a ring mod. That spot has been occupied lately (permanently?) by the Fairfield Circuitry Randy's Revenge.

I was thinking about keeping it to see how it goes with, but I just won't gave enough room on my pt-2 to fit it... Depending on how big the production model of the bubble chamber turns out that is.

7" x 4" was the last number I heard for the production version. No ETA on it though as I know Taylor is still revamping the circuit in his free moments. And of course a business that is growing quickly leaves very few free moments.

This pedal makes all my oscillating fuzzes and ring mods (and even one oscillating fuzz / ring mod) seem completely normal. I no longer own it, but it is BY FAR the strangest that has come across my feet. <3 Homebrew
 
As an owner of a Moog MF-102, I see the inherent obligation in me saying that my ring modulator is the weirdest pedal I own. Alas, it is not. I find it too clinical; too mathematical for the term 'weird.' It simply makes too much sense. This is in no way a demerit for my pedal, but it is the truth. To that end, the weirdest pedal on the MDF Shelf of Self-Loathing (my new name for the crappy bookshelf I'm using to store my pedals) is the Electro-Harmonix Stereo Polychorus. What other pedal can inspire a man to write a review in full pulp-fiction prose?
 
Wish I still had a Copilot Orbit :sniff:


So the weirdest one (sounds the most outlandish in the title) is my Barker Assmaster.

The weirdest sounding one normal one? Whammy.

The Weirdest sounding if I tweak and twist its nipples one? DD-20.
 
Moosapotamus - Dirty Bird

Three knobs, four switches and a dizzying array of strange and unpredictable noise to play with.

Haven't ever really found a use for it - apart from the sheer fun of tweakage - and it seems to make more interesting noises when used with a guitar.
