I've been getting rid of pedals that have not work for me as well: EQD rainbow machine, devi ever's truly beautiful disaster, mooer lofi machine. All have interesting sounds but have been pretty useless when it comes to working them in to what I play.

I've definitely never been able to use these on guitar without sounding like a dumb idiot.futuresailors wrote: Pitch shifters are beyond me.

RIng mod is good for other sources like drums or synths but meh on guitar...jwar wrote:Ring mods. I've said it before and I'll say it again. HATE them.
I can't use cheap almost there clones when the real thing is still available for cheap...

Muffs
Fuzzes that sound "saturated" like the Megalith instead of more "direct"
Phaser and tremolo are pretty boring when I try to use them

Tube Screamers for me, too. Nothing against them, and I know other people who can use them really well, but for some reason or other they sound like ass if I even look at them funny.

yep. I had a brief infatuation with phasers once after too much radiohead, but as soon as I picked one up I knew it wasn't gonna work out. I find that with most modulation though.foomanfat wrote:Also, phasers. All I can hear is the sweep
Chorus/vibrato in my dmm and jc120 is great, but a dedicated pedal just stumps me.

Definitely wah. Never have I used one and subsequently thought "Yes, I'm glad I'm using this. This brings something interesting and unique to the table."

Phasers (i like when other people use them but I can't make them work for me at all)
Wah (treadle-pedals in general really, i have terrible balance)
Basically any fuzz that doesn't either oscillate or have a ridiculous EQ section
Bitcrushers (I have tried and tried but they always seem to sound awful to me)
Clean blends
Distortion+
LPB-1

Pedals that have a distinct 'tempo' but no way to set it. Arpanoid for example, or a choppy trem at slower settings.

I'm another one that can't gel with a rat. Other people make them sound amazing, I can't do it.
Maybe I need to go to rat boot camp or something.
I hate chorus, but I find I can use it better than phase or vibe, which are my favourite modulations.
Go figure.
