Any pedal with volume drop that can't be pushed to unity - and then add external controls for blend and tone but not volume....and then add internal trimpots for EQ but not volume.....and then add a second footswitch for something like gate or oscillation....but not volume....and then verify that it needs to run at 30v via a wired in power supply only...and that it wont stack with anything....
No labels are annoying too I have to say. Any player using more than 5 pedals could do without having to trial and error controls. I must be weird, when I want to increase bass in a pedal, I like to look down and see a knob marked "bass". Quirky of me I realise....

Not gonna lie. I would probably buy that.EvilCatBucky wrote:Or a pedal that does nothing but make your amp make that weird noise it makes before your cellphone goes off at random intervals. Quite a few murderous rampages would be caused by that one.

Re: Imagine the worst pedal ever
Anything with a special snowflake voltage requirement rustles my jimmies. If your pedal absolutely needs those 18V to function, then design the circuit with a charge pump.
High current requirements are understandable, in high end digital boxes.

I would buy one of those immediately.bob the r0bot wrote:Bass DS-1 with graphics done by Metasonix
To me the worst pedal of all time would be an incredibly complex, unique circuit that cost $400 and gained huge buzz among the forums. Then when someone finally opened one up they saw that the whole circuit was bypassed and just went straight from input to output completely unaltered.

Re: Imagine the worst pedal ever
I am loving all of these. My fav was the clean boost with a clean blend.
How about a volume pedal that only changes volume in the first 1/8th of the sweep, and it has visual volume style led meters, but instead of LEDs they're vision damaging laser pointers.
