Which pedal did you buy thinking you'd love it, but ended up hating the damn thing??? For me the Boss Acoustic Sim. I tried it out & thought it would be nice & practical, ended up hating the damn thing. Payed $20 for it in a pawn shop & sold it for $60 on ebay, thank god.

    Many, many distortion boxes... too many to name...
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    The Boss MT-2 ranks highly... at least 70% of the guitar players I know use it. Stupid metal-plankton.

    shhh. I need the money.


    I've tried some really bad stuff. I don't really hate any pedals. I just find them useless.

    Unless you are in a hip hop band the Digitech Whammy is pretty useless albiet cool as shit.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    I suppose I could sue him for 10,000,000 dollars for emotional distress.

    Well the thing is, when I strum my strings, no matter what effect is on, I want to be able to hear myself strumming strings trough my cab. What I DON'T want to hear is high gain trebly metallic FRZFRZZRFRFR. And now my problem with the MT-2 is that when I strum my strings, the sound I get from it is high gain trebly metallic FRZFRZZRFRFR. And as I stated before, I do not like high gain trebly metallic FRZFRZZRFRFR. You get my point.

    Definately something to be said for clarity. Just try a Mesa Boogie with a sonic maximiser. You'll never play a metal zone again.

    The tone shaping in that pedal is pretty nice though. The Keeley version gives the notes much better definition.

    woah, you said you don't like mt-2, I said I do. The reason was irrelevant to me, you get my point. jeezus is there something in air.

    Indeed. My D.O.D Chorus pedal is now my frankenstein pedal. I hated it so much that i took it apart because i thought something was wrong with it. Now i'm in the process of "rebuilding"(if thats what you want to call it).
    If we all stop voting, will they all go away?

    I just saw a DigiTech Reverb pedal with foot control (looks like their whammy or wah) and was sort of interested... but it was in a pawn shop, didn't have a good opportunity to try it out... anyone ever heard/used one of these?

    Sorry, didn't mean to sound irritated or mad or anything. Just trying to give a reasonable explanation for my opinion... Guess my English still sucks too much to give things I write the tone I want...

    I should use more emoticons I guess.... ;)
