Imagine the worst pedal ever

[jasonmitsch]

An idea from the Pedals You Wish Existed thread: Imagine the worst possible pedal, all the features you would never want!

something that combines things we love with things we hate

like a Tubescreamer in the Klon enclosure with CV input

CV would control how much bass do you lose


mindfuck

An EHX bass big muff, with a behringer buffer, 1 top jack and 1 side jack, runs on 6 C batteries with a larger enclosure etched with anti-gay rhetoric.

EDIT: oops, that's all things I hate.

The knobs are right next to the stomp switch (already a bunch of pedals like that).

The knobs are tiny with poor indication of position (Danelectro 'food' series).

[retinal orbita]

A $250 digital delay/looper that comes with 6AA batteries and no adapter

Oh wait that exists

[bigchiefbc]

A clean boost with a clean blend.

In a Source Audio enclosure.

Even thinking about that made me angry

1590A enclosure but it's got no bypass footswitch on it, you have to plug in a second 1590A that has the bypass footswitch. 'top mounted jacks on both of the enclosures so you have to put them on your board width wise. No LED's, and it's just a buffer so you cant tell when its on or off

[DarkAxel]

how about

manual killswitch with clean blend

[K2000]

Requires a unique wall wart power supply (Whammy, Electro Faustus) or battery-only (early ZVEX).

[rustywire]

All controls would have to be internal trimpots.

[Casavettes]

A potato

[woolyh]

True bypass Spice Box.

[skullservant]

A bypass looper with a toggle switch instead of a footswitch that runs off of wall mains at 120v with a transformer and all to run the LED

[watchyourscrew]

Parallel Effects Loop that only puts out A Gilded Eternity when in use.

[Achtane]

HM-2 permanently set to no bass/full treble into Sitar Swami into chorus.
Just one knob and it's a volume control but it never reaches unity.
Output jack on right.
No power jack.
Enclosure uses proprietary screws that were poorly machined so that the lid never actually contacts the rest of it.

[K2000]

A whole lot of knobs, and none of them are labeled. Instructions say the effect is "intuitive" and 'just experiment' etc.

Manufacturer's name is huge on the label.

Embarrassing name or graphic.

Haha now I feel bad cause I never label Dirge stuff or include instructions
