rubs foot in dirt.... is there really a $100 diff between the MIJ ones and the MI? ones...?


There is? That's crazy talk. I don't know anything about that.

And you might actually like this one Muddy... mainly cuz they should never have called it a chorus pedal in the first place! :lol:

The superfuzz (I think that's what it is, I don't care to check) thing looks cool but, everything else just looks like your standard compressor/tube screamer

Willing to bet they're Joyos.

The Fuzz matches the layout, controls etc of the Ult. Octave down to spacing.

i've seen some comments elsewhere to the effect (no pun intended) that the Valco Stooge is a pretty decent Super Fuzz copy, so i thought i'd ask the experts :)

Yep, they're Joyo's. They even came up on google searches as such during the FB thaing. No goop tho, just rebranded Joyo's it seems.

:idk: I have never seen a Rogue in person... I was just adding Arion to the over all list... their chorus is the popular model I think, I think jrmy likes them...


Heh heh heh... yes. Yes I do. But only because it's not the typical chorus. It's more of a pulsing, spinning, gobs of low-end modulation sorta thing. :evil:

So what you are saying is that there is actually a chorus pedal that I might actually like? damn... I need one now :wha?:

Duuuude have you tried a Cosmichorus? They are the shit.

My money's on DOD in a landslide.


well, sure...as long as you don't mind your guitar tone being reduced to a cross between nails-on-chalkboard and somebody farting into an electronic megaphone :barf:

DOD Death Metal (the original, don't know about the second version with at least different graphics) with the treble aka "Scream" scooped is an insane wall of distortion. Hands down the loudest pedal I have ever heard. Unity was at like 9:00. Recently sold mine for $20 because I needed the money, but they are great for guitar and bass.
Good deals on ILF: too many to list, just ask!

Or the Sea Machine. It's actually difficult for me to get "normal" chorus toanz out of my Sea Machine... which is fine by me.

I say:
DOD and Biyang tie for the Modulation category. The Biyang PH8 is SICK! Kinda looks like it's based on the MXR Phase 100. But the DOD FX20B is a gnarly sounding phase,too. And I like the choruses and Flangers that these 2 make,above all the others mentioned so far. Fuzz/Dirt's gonna go to Joyo and Dano(BOOOOO!!!!) but you Cool Cat Fuzz is a Peach Fuzz,right? French Toast is a Foxx Tone Mershayne. And the Joyo gets really BIG sounding,and has nice tonal options. I'm not taking OD/Standard Distortions into account here much. This is a fuzz forum. But if I was,I would have to say DOD 250,and maybe Dano again. Envelope Filter: DOD FX25 hands down. Novelty effects/quirky shit: DOD EASY. Delay is where it gets tricky. I don't know which of the cheapie delays I like best. DOD fx90 sounds good,as does the Arion Stereo analog delay. The Dano echo/delay pedals I used didn't impress me much. EQ's/Comps: I honestly don't give a fuck. That's just me. It would seem,for my tastes,that DOD tops lists in more categories than the others,so DOD,'Murkka's pedlol,wins.
