  • Strangest/Ugliest Guitar Pedal industrial design, graphics and appearance.

    I know appearance isn't performance -so keep this thread light plz.... Let's poke fun at pedals that may be way over thought or no thought given to the industrial design, graphics, details and over all presentation. Skip pedals that have a funny name like "P*ssy Melter" if nothing else about the design doubles down on this with the layout, shape etc etc.

    Here's my first submission Line 6 JM4 Looper

    - I think I like everything about this except the chrome footswitches and the dumb vestigial classic Line 6 fake heat sink things on the sides.
    The whole package has a unique feel for sure -to me there extreme success and failure in this pedal

    -overall it has a aftermarket catalog chromed up lowrider car feel to me -doesn't appear to be stock, almost like a teenager dolled up his guitar pedal because he wanted to impress a girl.

    Also, I find it funny that a looper pedals is the size of 4-5 pedals.

    This is a weird pedal . . . the main reason for the high prices is that it shows plasma that changes in intensity when you play guitar. Sound is fine . . . does your typical gated fuzz effect. The whole point of the pedal though, is to look down and giggle at the light show. :P

      Yeah, as looper pedals go, it wasn't a good one. Their DL-4 is a more creative pedal.
      I always thought that this series of Peavey pedals was hideous. Bad colors, bad designs.

        The BBE pedals are ugly but sound amazing.

          For another thread, but my father built a plasma arc speaker with me in the late 80s. but to scale it up to Guitar Amp volumes would require intense energy

              I know these are good TS style klone abnd such pedals, in fact I set up a pedal board for a player you guys would all know -who swears by them.

              but this thing kills my eyes despite any ergonomic functional features this shape may tout.

              It looks like some crap Joe Bonamassa would slap his name on and sell in his webstore, cruise ship gallery, or merch table to me.
