From the more weirdo/synth/noise/wacky end of the spectrum my faves are:

Zoom MS50g - set up patches chaining 5 filter/synth/pitch/modulation fx together with a bypass module in slot 1. Super versatile for crazy shit.
Devi Ever Noise Floor - SPUTTER DYING EUGH
EHX Freeze - super useful
Boss RPS-10 - maybe not sub $100 any more but my old one was.
Mid-fi Clari(not) - Bendy drunken fucked cassette tape
Digitech Synth Wah - add overdrive post synth for ass ripping filter sweeps and thick toanz
Mooer Slow Engine - simple fx, pairs great with pitch shifters and reverbs/delays for spaceship sounds

EHX 8 step - multiply the usefulness of any expression capable pedal by a million. Worth it simply to use as a bank of presets for your fave pedal. If said pedals will accept ts rather than a trs get yourself a simple A/B(/C) switch to have a bank of presets or sequences for multiple pedals.

I think HM-2s often goes under 100$, which makes it my fav sub 100$. However, in Sweden the prices are way higher (thanks entombed)

It's not the hippest choice out there, maybe, but the MXR Il Torino is a pretty damn nice mosfet OD @ Sweetwater's $69 blowout price.

Been curious about that one.

For me, the DOD Carcosa has been a very pleasant below-$100 surpise. The price for it seems really reasonable given the span of results located therein :thumb:

If I didn't get a HM-2 and a black Russian for >$100, I'd agree. I'm keeping it though b/c I'm a hoarder.
