Used to have a Yamaha Magic stomp that had pitch shifter like a PS-3, but it had another setting where I could play a note and then have a delayed 5th, 6th, 3rd, 7 3/4 or whatever the fuck I wanted, plus another 3rd, 5th, whatever above that, and then another and another...
Cheesy as hell sounding, but I can think of so many lines today that I could use that setting with.
awesome signature with witty quotes from all you fuckers

Yea, heard the sample from the pedal, it's from the old SPX-90/Rex-50 units. You can do the same with the ART SGE/X series too and probably a lot more, and the modern 'can actually track worth a damn' version on the Eventides and Digi Time Bender.

My pedalboard costs approximately 191 Metal Zones.

+1 on the death metal. I like that one. With bass it rips.
I'll throw out both the Behringer BSY-600 and the Boss PH-3. I know people love to hate the PH-3, but I actually like it. I really only use it for the Rise, Fall and Step modes, but those are so fucking fun.
Also, is the Whammy considered cheesy? Because I love me some whammy as well.

+2 I got a lot a milage out of the FX86. For guitar it is all I used for years [into a ampeg J-12t, built in verb and trem! ] , and over time yeah I kept turning the mids up and up.

I traded my Ram's Head around 92-93. I don't even want to tell you guys what i traded it for. One of those trades that still gives me nightmares.
TELL US
Yes, go on -- can't be any more embarrassing than mine.
I discovered something interesting about the HM2 -- the DISTORTION knob really only has three settings: NONE / All / MORE. If you get it right between NONE and ALL, somewhere around 8 o'clock, it sounds great., Anywhere else and it sucks donkey giblets up a dark alley.
Good deals done with all these guys Canada, we put the "u" in satire
I have one of those Behringer Vintage Distortion units that looks like and I assume is modeled after the NYC Big Muff. It somehow sounds so shitty and yet so amazing. It's able to get easily the worst and best parts of the "typical" Big Muff sound if you dick around with it a bit. Also, it's louder than most of my other Muffs, and it just rules on bass. I used when I played bass in a short-lived doomgaze band and it just crushed the input of the Ampeg SVT IV Pro I was using. It is pretty digital sounding, but it's got kind of a cold sound to it that I enjoy at times.
Also, I too love the DOD Death Metal. Rules on bass as mentioned...and it has MIDS, which is amazing...because midrange makes things LOUD!!!
