Worst Pedal Ever

Post by devideva »

I'll start

Boss FZ-5 - utterly sucks. Not just literally. The so-called octavio setting makes your axe sound like crackling paper. WTF? How could they do that?

I think pretty much any pedal is useful for SOMETHING. Even if it's broken you can use it as a door stop or put it in a sock and thump freaks with it.

For reals though, a lot of pedals suck for their intended purpose, but I think of you're creative with them they can be really interesting.

"I know, we'll that awful cold chorus'y distortion sound from 80's metal and put it in a pedal! Brilliant!"

or maybe this:

Honestly, there's no "worst pedal"... it all depends how you use them.
