Cheesiest pedal you can't live without!

[Tigerbass]

If this has already been done I apologize, I looked and didn't find anything.

I just have to say that I cannot live without my cheesy Boss BF-3 Flanger.
I have tried so many flangers and nothing gets it for me. I guess I just love the versatilty of that pedal. It has the regular flange, the Ultra over the top flange, and the Gate/Pan setting which I totally love. I use that alot.
I just had a Fulltone Choralflange which was very cool, but I just said fuck it and sold it. Now I just put my BF-3 back on and all is well in my effects world again!

I won't say I can't live without it, but the Behringer BSY600 bass synth is pretty cheesy and pretty awesome. You can do a synth drone/freeze on almost every setting. What I hate about it is that incidental string noise gives as big a filter sweep as a fully plucked note. Its more like I'm sampling a filter than controlling it with playing sensitivity. But yeah..the drones.

Gotta be my Crybaby. I don't use it TOO much but I love that thing.

Doesn't get much cheesier than a Boss HM-2



I've had one of these on and off since I traded a triangle big muff for one some time around 1984 ...

I thought I would be OK without my BSY600 but in not
Also my DS-1 that I modded I seriously love it

I would normally resort to fisticuffs with anyone that called the HM-2 'cheesy'. But I have seen your pedal collection. You not only get a free pass, you get free reign to say whatever you like about HM-2's.

Coffin Case Blood Drive is complete cheese on the outside; coffin enclosure, spiderweb grippy, 'inject' 'bleed' 'filth' controls. But under the cheese is one hell of a MXR overdrive-distortion pedal.

[Tigerbass]

Haha...these are some pretty good ones!

I hate to out myself even further but I have a big outdoor gig this saturday and I had to put my Digitech Bass Synth Wah back on my board just so I can get that big envelop sound like on the beginning of Tom Sawyer.
That's all that pedal is good for! (to me at least! )

My DOD Bass Chorus is the cheesiest pedal I own, it's even got the funky names for the controls. It's so cheesy, so cheesy, but I can't help but love it, all the other choruses(?) I've tried, and there have been many, don't do what it does, it just sounds sooooooooooooo sweet and subtle, just like a chorus should.

Chori?

Maybe I'm not sure.

I don't own it,but if you run a Blue Box into a Danelectro Grilled Cheese distortion,it sounds pretty badass. How's that? A pedal with "cheese" as part of its name in a cheesy pedlulz thread :O

[adrianlee]

Bad monkey. While I gave it to my mate as a remembrance, it'll always stay in the family. Fucking love that thing.

[Achtane]

I have an HM-2 clone that I sometimes use in a Chk Chk Boom. But it sees no use other than that. I just don't "get" the HM-2 sound, I guess.

I do appreciate that you can add in a lot of bass, but it still sounds bleh to my ears. But I'm keeping it because my dad gave it to me.

If I take pedal to include rackmount, it's the ancient black and pink shredder-era ART SGE M2. Terrible sampler included, distortions are digital and grainy, pitch shifter you can hear almost straining to function, and I can get glorious terrible out of the box, even if it couldn't do a realistic and good fuzz to save its $30 life.

Otherwise, I'll stick with the Boss ME-6B. Terrible, terrible, terrible on bass. Terrible beyond words. But the synth filter chokes marvelously with single coils and is almost trackable with really hot buckers on a normal guitar. The synth bass mode alone is worth the price of admission and why I've had one for getting on close to 20 years. Bumblebee Stryper-esque cosmetics round out the cheese.

Are you, sir, into old digital units parchace?
