The yellow Danelectro was the Tuna Melt Tremolo. I've owned 2. First was much better than the second and I regretted selling it. Which prompted me to buy the second. Popping while switching and noisy when on and not playing. I started to convert to true bypass then put the project on hold for 2 years.
The mod I did to my DS-1 was Monte Allums Tri-gain Recto mod. Improved the pedal greatly. To the point that I'm trying to figure out if I should incorporate it with my pod HD 300.
I would say that the Behringer ADI21. Acoustic DI with preamp. It just makes my acoustic sound fantastic as it has passive electronics.

I like the Visual sound garagetone series... I've had the Drivetrain (amazing and regret selling it) and a Axle grease delay which is my favorite analog delay for slapback echo...soooo warm and makes my solos jump out. Best part is they have the pure tone visual sound buffer in them too and are made to last

I have a small stack of Behringers now, and though I'm sure they're noisier then the prototypes, the robustness of them isn't bad. Plastic fantastic.

Despite this thread's slightly zombie-ish odor, I'll play.
I have Behringer Space C chorus, their clone of the Boss Dimension C. It comes really close for $25. Ordinarily, I won't buy Behringer stuff because of their borderline IP policies, but in this case, Boss doesn't make the DC-2 anymore, and the vintage ones are super-pricey.
Another cheap-but-good pedal I have is my Marshall "Edward the Compressor". I found mine NOS for $40 in an old Mom & Pop music store in Schenectady after seeing this:

Do you mean the Arion Tubulator?
At $10, I grabbed two. They sound even better with one running into the other.

*holds hand up* My fault, I was looking for something else before the search broke.

I've been enjoying the joyo US Dream pedal. I don't use it into a clean amp as designed though (at least the pedal it's based off of is designed to be run that way-the Suhr Riot). I run it into the green channel of my DSL with a little crunch already on the sound (about noon on the gain knob in crunch mode with single coils). It sounds fantastic this way. It doesn't have the 'pedal into an amp' sound at all. Killer for $36.

My last couple of cheap pedal scores..

I've got a Guvnor II and it is a great pedal, picked it up used for maybe $70 or so if I remember.
The Mooer Echolizer has worked really well for me, I replaced an EH Echo with it mostly to save space but I like it.
Also have a Dano Cool Cat tremolo that is fantastic and didn't cost me more than $40 new.

another cheap pedal full of win....MXR Super comp.. its a dyna comp with an attack knob that you can get for 50 or less used. I got mine for 40 and it totally changed my sound for the better and no I don't play country or funk...

Ok - I guess I'm up again. And actually, this thread is great for stocking stuffers for the holidays...
The Behringer Vintage Phase - or whatever it was called
- With custom paint!
Honestly, does a nice job with a classic/modern switch and all. Nothing too extreme, and some nice subtle shadings. For $24, I love it!

I don't own any cheap pedals. I won't get down on those who do because they need to conserve precious cash recourses, which i understand 100% being in the same predicament, but its against my philosophy. In my personal opinion, a real cheap pedal or a cheap knockoff cannot sound good. Its a matter of well designed engineered circuit layout and component quality.
I'm not saying its totally out of the question though. I have a Coffin pedal that just hits the spot, and it was cheap at the time I bought it, although its out of production and triple its price from when I got it so cheap. Its a pedal John5 used/uses.
EDIT EDIT EDIT-----WAIT WAIT WAIT people!! LOL. I DO have a cheapie pedal that is totally lurved . Its a danelectro Compressor. Totally gets that Nashville Tele thing happening for peanuts!! So there.

Digitech Tone Driver - it has this morph knob that allows you to gradually go between different OD pedal sounds. I like it as well or better than my Fulldrive II. It has more gain available than the FDII. Also, the Danelectro Cool Cat Drive is really nice and versatile.
