I don't have a smartphone or iOS device, so that's out. The Nux Modcore has been a consideration.

Dunno if the Nux Modcore is any good at all. But stereo I/O, cheap as heck new.

Ugh. This thread, and that Devi Ever+Drum Machine video has started an itch, for shitty sounding*, cheap effects on everything. Need less pedals, not more. B-b-b-but fun.

Re: Super budget pedals
Received a Little Bear R.attack today, and the resulting joy was short-lived. I noticed a buzzing sound when all pedals in my signal chain were bypassed and, through a process of elimination, traced the noise the the R.attack. After some testing, I determined the one I received probably has a defective output jack. Truly a shame given it provided all sorts of pleasing overdrive and distortion tones. A return is currently in progress. Looks like I'll have to save up for a boutique clone with the same features.

Re: Super budget pedals
Would seriously recommend the Idiotbox Blowerbox as a "cheap" boutique RAT clone that sounds amazing on bass, guitar, synth, analogue kick drums...
Also the Dunn Grand Deceiver looks great. Neither of these are super budget though.
I do want to one day figure out which DOD pedal the Mantic Vitriol is based on.

Re: Super budget pedals
The Blower Box looks decent and is likely high quality given how great the Dungeon Master was (though ultimately not for me). I went ahead and sprung for a Tomsline Black Teeth.

I'll miss having the option of battery power, and hope the quality control is better than that of Little Bear. More later once it arrives.

My $35 Tomsline bit crusher is still crushing after a few months without incident. It's as well made as any of the minis.ck3 wrote: I'll miss having the option of battery power, and hope the quality control is better than that of Little Bear. More later once it arrives.

Re: Super budget pedals
I don't know if anyone mentioned the Behringer Vintage Time Machine yet, but it's $50 on Amazon and while isn't a replacement for a Memory Man, it sounds damn good. Super murky and the vibrato is awesome. Yeah, it's huge. Deal with it.

Re: Super budget pedals
It's actually sold out a lot of places right now and used prices are starting to climb. I know because I have been looking. Anybody who wants to dump one for $50 hit me up!!colossus wrote:I don't know if anyone mentioned the Behringer Vintage Time Machine yet, but it's $50 on Amazon and while isn't a replacement for a Memory Man, it sounds damn good.

Re: Super budget pedals
Aside from minute cosmetic defects, the Tomsline Black Teeth seems decent thus far. It provides the same, basic Rat flavors as the Little Bear R.attack in a chassis 1/3rd the size for a little over half the price new.
