All right - here's one for you: the Arion Stereo Chorus. Yes, it's cheap and plastic (I got mine for $20), but it's much more active and "whooshy" than your standard chorus. And the tone control is ridonkulous - it can boost your lows so much, it's insane.

Also, big big props to the Autopilot Caracol. The way that it blends external effects into the OD/fuzz/octave setup is amazing - I really love the way it can use another pedal to modulate its octave/fuzz/OD:

I'm so god damn happy with the EQD Grand Orbiter, but it's one of those pedals that works so well you think "surely I'll love another one just as much!" and you keep looking for shit you don't need. It's like dating a woman with big boobs. It rules, but sometimes it just makes you want MORE BOOBS even if there are plenty at home.



This is also big time picquing my interest!! I want a wicked phaser so bad!!

For bass I use a MXR phase 90, simple. That plus a low gain fuzz is awesome, I say low gain because when you fuzz-->phase 90 the volume increase is huge, i like to run my bass through a delay into two amps and that is always awesome especially if you put a reverb or something befor the delay amp but not the clean signal amp and use a wah more as passive tone/volume control rather than it's own effect.

Why, thanks you Muddeh and Tiger... I need to get a Caracol of my very own - that was from the Copilot tourbox. Actually, I might be able to repurpose my favorite parts of that Caracol demo for a Crotchthrottle song. Hmmmmm... hmmmmmmm... now you've got me thinkin'!
