How about something like an M5 or the zoom MS-xx? Digital yes, but there might be something in there that you like? Plus they are cheap enough to try.

What are you planning to do with a stereo dirt pedal?

Dude the LPB-2ube is sick too. It sounds awesome with drum machines and synths and really warms up cheaper digital delay/reverb. I had one at the end of my chain for a while.

Machinedrum SPS-1 and Blofeld need friends.
Drums sound better with panning and spatial effects. The Blofeld allows for panning in its synthesis & effects already, so stereo pedals allow me to preserve that.

Instead of a stereo pedal, why not use a pair of mono pedals
It allows for greater versatility, being able to independently adjust each channel's grit.
I could totally see myself doing this with mpc60 and a pair of Meatboxes stacked with a PN-2

Was gonna say that^.

Also GASing for a Q.

Pedal wise I'd like to jump on the Lightningwave Doom and the Mountainking Interstellar Door bitch, even though I have no idea what it does.

Faaaaaack that National is doooooope

Mostly bc saving power supplies, honestly. Though, sometimes you also just want the same distortion sound on both sides. I can't imagine wanting a Meatbox on anything other than the kick.

I have an idea. If you get like an old 4 track recorder and blast the inputs, you'll have stereo distortion/fuzz for dayszz. It sounds super pleasant on guitar. It's the sound that the demo tape fuzz tries to emulate. I made a video ages ago with my tascam porta 03, it's shit but it shows my point:

PLUS! You can always use the thing to playback samples on tape, make tape loops or whatever

Yeah, good rec. And if the mixer has aux sends the world is truly your oyster.
[also the Meatboxes weren't so much a suggestion as me thinking out loud on a bbs]
If I were to pick a pair of dirt pedals for such general purpose use it would either be Fucks or Minis.
Most likely
Also FWIW dirt pedals tend to be most forgiving with daisy chaining psu, having such a low draw & whatnot.

This parts Jag popped up on clist but the seller hasn't gotten back to me... I want it so bad

That Jag is hot as hell, good luck!

Is it too early to call dibs on the flip?

I want an Ebow for some reason.

These are great suggestions.
I have an old 4 track, i can try that. Are you talking about just recording it with blasted inputs, or doing that live? Because this need for stereo overdrive is for live use. That's the problem. I suppose i could move up to a bigger mixer, i love my mixer's inputs, but it doesn't have any gain trimmers on the stereo channels which is a huge fucking annoyance. Also, its 2 aux outs are both mono sends stereo returns, which runs in to the same problems. I've thought about picking up a small 4 track Behringer or Mackie just to blast its and then send it to a stereo channel, but really it's jut about keeping a live rig tight and easy to setup and break down with as much shit as is going on.
FWIW a stereo fuck would be a-goddamn-mazing, and i idly dream of such a device being to me what that broken Waldorf 2-Pole was for Pole (before his ill-advised forays into hip-hop).
I've also thought about just picking up two Boss MD-2s or other cheap overdrives. It's probably what i'll still end up doing. Maybe a second Blower Box bc that thing is my baby. It would just be nice to not have to turn knobs on two different pedals when i want to do stuff with the overdrive. Eh, oh well, silly "needs" that i will probably remedy somehow. I thought about just getting a cassette adaptor and a small cassette player and using that for overdrive and saturation, but it would be a big annoying mess to carry around to every show.
