so i haven't bought a new pedal in a looooooong time and i think it's bout time for a new one. i just can't think of anything i want. i already have 2 delay pedals a phase shifter, grunge pedal, flanger and a chorus pedal (although i never use the flanger or the chorus because i don't really like them). i thought about getting a tube screamer so as to have a "lighter" distortion pedal as oppossed to the "heavy" grunge pedal. other than that i have no clue. so help me out, what do you think i should get? i want something that'll let me make really weird outta this world sounds/noise. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance lil buddies.

MXR Blue Boxes are a lot of fun, but they're trouble- mine broke after a few months (I bought it used) and they come with a pretty noticeable volume drop which can be fixed if you can really be bothered fixing it.

They sound sick despite all of their glitches.

a rat is a good pedal that can go from OD to all out distortion. i've heard good things about the digitech bad monkey if you want just an OD. a reverb could be fun too. what about a tremolo?

i wasn't really thinking overdrive or dest pedals actually. and i've had a wah wah before and my jazzmaster already has a tremolo bar on it. i was thinking more along the lines of a oscillating noise maker thingamajig.

Blue Box,

or a Electroharmonix USA Big Muff Pi, really changes the way you play lead and everything, a pedal everybody should have.

if you want noise i would say blue box or a digitech PDS delay. I know you have 2 delays already but i have a PDS 20/20 and if you mess with the trempots on the inside it becomes a great noisemaker. it also has a 2 second looper (you can tweek it for more time) and if you crank the trimpot for feedback it will osculate like crazy

OK, I know you said you aren't after a dist or OD pedal, but D.A.M are currently producing some outrageously good pedals that are getting seriously amazing reviews. The company is a boutique effort, run by a guy and his girlfriend in England. They don't have US distribution but most people just get them direct from their home in Yorkshire. Being a 'boutique' outfit their stuff isn't cheap (around $200-250 a pop given the current exchange rate). However, their pedals ARE all 100% handmade and even the instructions are hand written! Their site has tonnes of great sound clips and graphics to give you an idea:
Be warned though, the Meathead clip may well have you succumbing to your inner Iommi before you know it. The guy that makes them even looks like he should be a member of Eyehategod!


Here's their website.http://www.stompboxes.co.uk/score.html

I want a Meathead so bad it's not even funny.
