for $50 I'm sure you can find one, really nice/simple chorus with a kind of lush sound

DOD FX90 - great analog delay, I got mine for pretty cheap, but I think they've gone up in price a little since then.

Yamaha R100 Digital Reverb Processor - half rack reverb thing, still kind of a secret. Bypassing it kind of sucks though.

Ibanez LF-7 LoFi - interesting pedal, I haven't really played anything else like it.

Most Dano pedals - I've tried the Chicken Salad, French Toast, Tuna Melt, Fish and Chips, PB&J, Corned Beef, all the Cool Cat stuff, and I thought they were all great. I have a re-housed French Toast and a modded FAB Echo that I use all the time.

The Whirlwind Rochester pedals are awesome and cheap.
I think I got my Distortion + for under $30 off ebay.
Good deals done with all these guys

Every superfuzz with the mids switch in scooped mode :duck: :duck: :duck:

Mids switch in mid boost however, its the greatest fuzz circuit ever made

I'm back with the cheaps... Just got a Biyang Fuzz Star FZ-10 and it KILLZZZ... It's a vary versatile Muffish fuzz with three modes and is LOUD as FU€K... My Jazzmaster sounds awesome and my Kalamazoo is about to fall apart... If you can find one on CL jump all over it... The Warm setting with the tone down a lil is pure DOOM...

A lot of those 80s MIJ pedals are pretty good.
Your Frontline / In-Line / Seiwa / Tronix / Soundcraft and whatever pther names they slapped on them.
Built by Coron. They usually sound good and are pretty solid, although the bypass is usually pretty bad.
I'd be surprised if they cost as much as $50 (used obviously)

Yeah I have the soloist distortion and the bm-1 (looking for another one). I have to admit I really dig the tone from those pedals.

Why would you look for another BM-1 when you can pick up the other versions for next to nothing? Just wondering.

They are actually very nice sounding pedals considering their price. Quite a good range of sounds from them!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say all Boss pedals are under appreciated and cheap. I have yet to play a Boss pedals I wasn't thrilled with. I mean for the money, you can't beat that shit. Plus they last for fucking ever. Sure they're not as cool as some of the others, but they sound good.

On a budget! my friend gave me a $20 something dollar Behrringer Pitch shifter that really has been thru a ton o' abuse. TC elects pedaLS offer a ton o' options for the price too! Flashback delay, Hall o Fame etc. are great for the price :thumb:
