All the sexual innuendo ones are so fucking cheesy I would be embarrassed to own one.

Also the Danelectro "Billionaire" series. Tacky and gross.

How come?
Because it seems to be a dumb made-up word based on the sound of "add an echo".

I can't figure out the Wolf Computer thing.
This is a very impressive collection of Roto Toms. That's 21 Roto Toms in all. That is only $33.00 a Roto Tom.

Maybe Mike Matthews is senile and they're letting him name all the new pedals?

It 100% is a dumb made-up word that’s meant to sound like “add in/an echo”! And it’s not even their original idea! It’s based on the Tel-Ray Add-n-echo/Adineko oil can echo units from the 60’s!

So while it is kind of a goofy name, the Catalinbread pedal is at least in tribute to the original effect on which it’s based. Those wacky dudes from the 60’s can maybe blame LSD.

I think we all know that Metasonix names their stuff to see just how far they can go before Trent Reznor feels he has to censor it.

At first blush, I don't really mind the name of that Fucking Fucker up there, but that artwork is pretty embarassing, and does sort of make me feel stupid for not minding the name.

It's the least awful artwork of probably any Metasonix tbqh.

It's pretty bad. I, for one, hate Single Expression Pedal.

I remember when I was a young teen I wanted a big muff and a super hard one because I saw the pros using them... I literally had no idea what they meant and threw my parents for a bit of a loop haha

Most other zvex names I find to be ok, at least they don't seem to be totally unrelated to the effect itself like most ehx names

One pedal name that bugs me personally is the caroline shigeharu, but that's partly just because the japanese on the front doesn't even spell out the name lol

I kinda feel like EQD has been coming up with the most vanilla names recently too. Westwood, Plumes, Swiss things.

Their older stuff has great names: dispatch master, bit commander, organizer, tentacle, rainbow machine etc
