Just for fun , I see some of these pedalboards , and I know , what matters from a pedal is the sound it produces , not the looks . But some of these boxes are (for me) a "poor excuse for a effect box" from a aesthetic point of view . This new "polara" Reverb of Digitech is something I think itīs "as ugly as it can be" . Some people may like itīs "psychadelic" look , I personally tend to thnk it looks awful . But the sound may be great ...

Re: The ugliest pedal(s) ever ?
If Bon Scott were an effects pedal I'd reckon he'd be pretty ugly.You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright
Whilst you can only wonder why -
Re: The ugliest pedal(s) ever ?
I hear what you are talking about. In general, I have never found most EHX pedals attractive. I know there are some homely boxes out there....Originally posted by Bad City

Some of the early 90s DOD pedals were pretty ugly. Peavey's 80's-90's pedals could have used a more attractive design, too.Administrator of the SDUGFComment

Oh those Peavey pedals looked terrible IMO! The old 80s DOD I don't find too bad though. I like their knobs lol.

I think these Peavey ones looked O.K. . The look try to simulate an Amplifier on looks , if you can notice .Last edited by zegonzales; 08-13-2018, 08:51 PM.Comment

Not only do they look like ladybugs, they get smashed like them when you step on them too!

Man them Ibanez soundtanks are awful. (cosmetically-speaking, heck they might not sound bad at all?)
Original Big Muffs sure aren't very pretty either, especially the black and yellows.
Rocktron and Marshall pedals have always been on the ugly side IMO.Last edited by dave74; 08-14-2018, 06:12 AM.Comment
