Weird FX Pedals
 
i want a new pedal, but i can't find anything i like. i want something that makes weird spacy/blips/crazy shit type sounds. i already have 3 delay pedals, big muff, phaser, equalizer, grunge and tube screamer. any help would be greatly appreciated.

These are not made anymore, but still can be found from about $150ish sometimes. Mode 7 is fucking insane (reverse dual pitchshift +-1 octave with +-2 octaves when set full)

I have a Dwarfcraft Double Thumping SquareSnakes, i saw it and tried it in a store in Toronto and couldn't pass it up, pretty awesome pedal er actually a noise making device. it doesn't have an input its basically is a 3 sinewave oscillators rolled into one unit each can be mixed indivudally and manipulated in tone, with a wide aray of tonal arrangements that can be acheived. the only thing i don't like is that it doesn't have an output volume, its pretty loud! i like to run it in conjunction with my guitar pedal chain and its much louder than guitar (because its basically an active device i presume) so i thought about adding a output volume pot to attenuate the level, but instead of modify the unit i basically made a volume pedal (thats not a foot pedal but with a knob) that it runs into.

another nice pedal i'd recommend is a Zvex Fuzz Factory, its much more than a standard fuzz pedal with a great tone and huge amounts of gain and sustain. the stab knob is basically a feedback oscillator that acts like a voltage starve and creates sounds like a fixed wah, octave ring modulated note decay, bass rumbles and clicks. its sorta like combining a pseudo ring modulater with an mxr blue box and a not so bass heavy big muff into one.

run a medium range delay through a light phase shifter and then run that chain into a wah/expression pedal. That should give you the variety you need.. also perhaps a flanger on the slowest setting for that "wooshing" sound. with a good expression pedal adjusted effect you can do some very creative, innovative and out there shit.
