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:

Oh man. That's the Robert Smith sound on that Siouxsie record, right?

It's pretty much the Robert Smith sound period. It's been in his chain since 1980.

+1 on the Cool Cat Trem; it was the first thing I thought of.

I also really like the Dano Fab Distortion, but I don't know if I can recommend it since mine only lasted a few months.

I'd also like to recommend the GarageTone Overdrive and Analog Delay (although the delay is over 50 a hair).

The Behringer Vintage Phaser is the only phaser I've ever been able to tolerate on my board, but I do run it through a loop blender. I've got PP's Ibanez Phaser coming though, so maybe that will change.

Lots of Digitech/DOD stuff, but I'm more thinking of things that are cheap new.

I can't believe I haven't posted already in this thread. Here's the cheapies that I rock with:

Boss LS-2 (great utility pedal)
DOD FX72 (maybe my favorite flanger ever)
Behringer BSY-600 (insanely underrated bass synth)
Behringer CC-300 (perfect copy of the Boss DC-2, and yes I've A/B'd them, and sold the Boss)
Dano French Toast (fOXX Tone Machine clone, I've moved onto another TM clone, but this one is still awesome)
Buy my gear! viewtopic.php?f=44&t=58763

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!


The seller that I bought the pedal from neglected to tell me that he painted the pedal with red paint. I use the artec for my set-up, however, I like to have the bm-1 for my collection because I like the graphics on it.

It's too bad there aren't any cheap pedals that make weird/gnarled/fuct sounds. Thank goodness for the boteeks, I s'pose.

PS-3 from BigCheifBc and his ebay enforcing... Any cheap pitcher will do... Go for Behringer cause you could always throw it out the window if it don't suit yo needs...
