If anyone has a pedal that will make my guitar sound like a 50cc engine for $75 dollars I'd appreciate it. Every note has to be the same pitch.
Just bring a small motorcycle with you wherever you play.

Do you need the whole motorcycle? What about just the engine and gas tank? There's a safety hazard if I've ever heard of one. It would add to the excitement of the show for sure. And no need for a smoke machine, just use exhaust.

I know a dude who brought a lawn mower to a show and just ran over shit for 5 minutes and that was his set. Was insane
There's also The Rita who brought a dirt bike to a performance and did live field recording manipulations of it. That was a fun one too

Oh wow. I don't think there is any single pedal that can do the job. As You noticed and chose to go with Boss Ls2 etc.
Many boutique builders do relatively cheap custom jobs, that's the idea: You pay extra for them for giving You a good ear and they do their best to achieve Your totally lifeless synth with clean blend for transparent and uneffected sound. Sure it's probably not under 150$ but then again - it can be perhaps exactly what You're looking for AND if it's not, You've already learned much about what You want, what You don't want, what certain fx can achieve and You go on from there. It's a process. It takes time. Don't expect a ready made Acme-just-add-water solution. Ask anybody, these things take time and experimentation. As you should know
But chill out. Please. Or leave if it's too much asked to be civil and play by the unwritten code of conduct of the fuzz head weirdos brotherhood. Or burst like a fucking volcano and THEN say chill out and say sorry dudes.
Good advices in an Internet forum thread come with patience and conversation. As with conversation with builders.
Ta-ta.
Soon I call for a group of nazis on thin ice doing the hammer time routine shuffle dance.

Yeah, you definitely need the whole motorcycle. Definitely a safety hazard, that's what makes it awesomes insanes.
Pretty sure on that track I posted above they just brought the motorcycle into the studio and recorded it. With all that marijuana smoke in some Jamaican studios, I wouldn't worry too much about a little motorcycle exhaust.

Sooooooooo not quite sure what's happening here anymore
I opened this thread wanting to be helpful
Then shit exploded
Now I'm not really sure if I still want to be helpful
But I guess I will anyways because these pedals look sweet and might actually be what you're looking for...
So yeah maybe check out the new EQD:
