weirdest pedal you have tried?

Re: weirdest pedal you have tried?

Q-Tron is the weirdest?

Mine is probably my Effector 13 (now Devi Ever) Truly Beautiful Disaster. Gated fuzz with optical eye control and feedback loop. It makes a Fuzz Factory look like a TS-9.

Re: weirdest pedal you have tried?

The weirdest pedal I've ever used is probably the Pigtronix Mothership. Completely bizarre and entertaining analog guitar synth. Second weirdest is definitely the MXR Blue Box. Strange low octave fuzz with almost ring-mod-y undertones.
 
Re: weirdest pedal you have tried?

I haven't tried much in the way of the truly bizarre. Maybe the Earthquaker Devices Afterneath. It's basically a stunt reverb. It seems stranger after spending all day listening to "normal" reverbs.

 
Re: weirdest pedal you have tried?

Weirdest is probably my Xotic Robotalk RI.
One mode is a very touch sensitive envelope filter, and the other is a random arpeggiator, sort of like a ring modulator.

I'm actually trying to sell it because I have no use for robotic sounds, and the envelope isn't as good as your QTron.

Hang onto your QTron. It's the best envelope filter made IMO....second only to the long gone Lovetone Meatball, the best ever made. I wish I still had my QTron.

Easily the Dr Freakenstein Fuzz w/Igor

 
Re: weirdest pedal you have tried?

The weirdest pedals I've played through were the Devi Ever Bit Mangler, or possibly the original Fender Blender. Crazy fuzz with unpredictable octave / oscillation effects. The Z. Vex Fuzz Probe earns an honorable mention for some of the crazy sounds it can produce, but it's a lot easier to control.

The Korg Miku pedal from Japan.

I have one.

It is rut busting bliss and forces you to play COMPLETELY different music.

Beat me to the Blue Box.
 
Re: weirdest pedal you have tried?

It's not a pedal, but there's a very odd preset on my POD HD that's called "Haunted Toys". It's one of the most impractical effects I've ever heard. When you hit a note, it just makes a bunch of creepy atmospheric tones that are washed-out by reverb. If you tried to play a melody on it, you wouldn't be able to hear it. I'll have to upload a clip of it sometime.

That's thing looks awesome, sounds pretty cool too.

Definitely weird styling and a bit too much in a single box.

It was fun but would've been too much of a novelty for me

I was about to share that same demo. Never tried it, but the Korg Miku is the weirdest pedal ever. Lol

I think these ran out of stock worldwide, there is one in the store close to my home and really wanna try it :)

I just got mine on ebay (from Japan) for $100.00 shipped last week.

The most you should have to pay is around 120 or 140.
 
Re: weirdest pedal you have tried?

I saw some pedal on YouTube called the Mikrou that I think was made by Korg. It makes your guitar sound like Japanese women singing. I don't have to play it, that takes the cake.

Re: weirdest pedal you have tried?

The MXR Blue Box was strange, for sure. Ditto for the Fender Blender, very hard to control.

Weirdest demo had to be an original Heil Talk Box a guy was trying in a music store full of little kids and women. He apparently thought repeating the phrase, "I want to %@#$ you!" 47 times was cool. It wasn't.

Earthquaker makes a ton of weird, wonderful, yet useable sounding noise boxes.

It's called the Korg Miku. It's based off Hatsune Miku, an animated Japanese pop singer; she pretty much the biggest "celebrity" in Japan. I've tried the pedal out before, and while it is weird, it was oddly satisfying to play melodies on it. It tracks pick attack, bending, and vibrato very well. It may be an odd pedal, but I can't help but think it may actually have a use to someone.
