Although the oscillation is amazing.

buffers can be a good thing Having an all TB board with a lot of pedals will weaken your volume and get noisy as I understand.
Yeah, I guess that's true. I'll pop it back on my board and see how it plays. Although then I'll have 3 delays on my board.

I like to put a buffer right after my fuzz and maybe at the end of the chain

Danelectro Spring King. though rather short, It's actually a reverb tank.
It has a little delay circuit that interacts with the reverb settings... An attempt to make up for the short spring?
It can easily be tapped in order to control it's depth and rate with a couple pots.
$120 + $3 worth of parts and 20 minutes worth of your time =

I also like the old Dano Fab Tones in the metal enclosures. You can get them for $10-$15 easily and they're fuckin intense.

I'm also a fan of the Behringer SF300 (Boss Super Fuzz clone) for mangling vocals of for use with stage organs.

The Behringer DD600 is also pretty neat. Has a "hold" function for making shit-hot 3 second syncopated loops or endless note sustain.

Nobel's pedals aren't very common in North America and I sometimes come across them in pawn shops for retarded prices.
I scored one of these

for $10.
It's like the unholy combination of a Rat and a Metal Zone.

I don't think any one mentioned Arion yet but they make some pretty great pedals that go for pretty damn cheap. All of the ones I've seen were easily under $100, but I don't no about under $50 unfortunately. But the Arion SAD-1 is a great analog delay for the money. Great thread I have to look into the DE7 since I'm looking for a good delay right now.

I really like the Biyang Chorus and Delay. I've had no problems with either. The same can't be said of any of the Behringer stuff I've had.

I bought a phase 90 for $40 used, it was on display guitar center for three years, works fine, has one minute scratch and that's it.

The grunge was my first pedal.
It was nice for trashy noise punk.
