    That can be a pretty big question.

    Danelectro pedal are made in china, which I don't like. They are pretty affordable, but they seem kinda cheap to me, especially the minis. Some of the larger pedals may be ok, but I can't really say because I haven't really used them.

    Most stomp boxes are analog, with the exception of some delays. I can't think of another type of stomp box right now that you see digital. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    As far as getting a "vintage sound" that all depends on what your wanting. This can be a pretty subjective question. Also what effects are you looking for right now?

    Electro-Harmonix is pretty vintage-sounding.

    They have vintage reliability, too.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    im basically looking for a chorus, phaser, delay and eventually, a wah. in that order i think, maybe swap around phaser and delay...im a big fan of billy corgan's chorus and delay in the 87-92 era of the pumpkins, anyone know what pedals he used?

    I have a Dan-Echo that I really like. I'm not an effects expert like some people here, but for affordable analog-sounding delay, the discontinued dan echo does a good job. I know stone used one for a while.

    I'm not sure what he used, but if you're looking for an old kickass pedal the boss ch-2 is an excellent choice. They're not made anymore, but you can pick them up on ebay. They sell for anywhere from 50-80 bucks on there.

    The japenese ones are the craze. I don't know if there's really that much difference, but people seem to think so.

    For a phaser I like the ol mxr phase 90. Now owned by dunlop. Unless you're loaded just get a reissue though.

    I'm currently hunting a delay as well. Right now I'm leaning towards a boss dd-6. I haven't tried one yet, but I like what I've read so far.

    For a wah I like the crybabies. Just my personal preference. I have a limited editon white std crybaby and I like it alot.

    All of these things are pretty much personal tastes though. You'll get a different answer in ever post.
