Offshoot of the more famous 'worst pedal names' thread (viewtopic.php?f=149&t=63297)
Here in the UK we've this afternoon received news that a third case of the B1.1.529 COVID variant has reached these shores. I thought the WHO designation sounded familiar: the name they've assigned, Omicron, was chosen by Malekko nearly a decade ago for some rather tasty mini-format mostly analog pedals, including a particular well-liked vibrato: https://malekkoheavyindustry.com/product/vibrato-2/
Don't want to make light of a pandemic but there has to be an angle here. Just sayin'...

Most prescient pedal names
"She opened the case of my guitar and placed six fingertips to the pick-ups beneath the strings. She made me a tea from the dried orange skins on her fire, and taught me the way of guitar voodoo." -- Jim Carroll, 'The Book Of Nods'
