The old ones with the pointy knob that came in a wooden box are way better than the newer ones, I'd try to get one of those if you can.

I like the Arion bass distortion for some reason.
Guyatone... the little ones...
When I was in high school I really wanted that Black Noise pedal because it was marketed as a heavy industrial distortion. Youtube and the like did not exist at the time and no stores around me carried. I always wondered what it sounded like; I suspect probably really scooped?
EDIT: haha from an [url]ebay item descrip[/url]:
"It works. Tone-wise, it's a mid-scooped distortion. If you have ever had a Crate practice amp with the built-in distortion, and really wanted that in pedal form, you are about to find your dream distortion. "
That sounds pretty damn good on bass!

Steal of the century: Digi RDS-series rackmount delays.
All the fun of the PDS pedals with more control, options, and without the retarded price tag.

Big fan of the Arion Stereo Chorus and the Arion Flanger. Both have their own really excellent sound.

I'd bet a Coke it's another clone of the Boss CE-5 like my $10 Starcaster Chorus is, except this one keeps the stereo output. The Starcaster is good for a shimmery, "etched" sounding chorus. The Guyatone MC-3 is better at a thick, warm sound which is kind of pulse-y like a Uni-Vibe. That's why I have both.

This thing is SO fat. I could get to pseudo bass boosted sounds. I've never had a chorus that really worked to add fatness and shimmer to your sound like that one.

Rfurtkamp's Suggestion: Boss gl-100
Rack Format though.
But an awesome Palette of 80ies Boss stomp Box Sounds and highly customizable with parametric mid controls.

DOD FX20B... not the FX20C 4 stage version or the crappy two knobs FX20. The fx20b was basically a six stage small stone with more control.
The extra stages and resonance could make it pretty gritty sounding. It's not a do everything phaser. it does what it does. You will find it useful or not. It was the first pedal i ever owned, so maybe it's nostalgia.
Rocktron Austin Gold- This pedal probably would have been a huge hit had it included a tone control. I'll admit it will not work with a lot of amps. Sounds terrible through my fender twin.
I gigged with it for years and still have it around somewhere.
