What are some cool stereo od/distortion/fuzz pedals?

Take your favorite dirt, buy 2!

Not many stereo dirts out there since you are essentially making two identical circuits. I want to try the elektron one out.

Yeah, your class restrictor of "cool" might result in something approaching a zero set, haha. But there are the Source Audio dirt pedals...and the Line 6 modellers and some other multifx.

Also, EHX Operation Overlord, which is analog, and I think the Deucetone Rat and Foxrox Zim can be set up to run in a kind of stereo, as long as you're feeding them two channels of a stereo signal, because of course Drod is right, if you split your signal you can of course run separate dirt 9n each channel.

Jeez what a mess. Did any of that help?

Those old Arion pedals have two outs, the second output is switchable as either clean or distorted (or "soft". it's a different flavor from the main dist/drive). I have the Metal Master and use the second output occasionally, although the switch is unreliable and needs to be replaced.

I also have an Ibanez DS10 (in the b/s/t right now) that has stereo outs, far as I know the only dirt pedal in that series that has. I've used that pedal mostly as a splitter, since it cuts too much low-end for my taste when on.

Ruiner to one side, Torn's Peaker to other. Wish I had picked one of these up when they were in production, kind of hard to find on the used market now.

I got one I don't really want anymore...

Other parallel dirt circuit pedal I can think of is the Devi Silver Rose. I suppose you could think of multiband distortion pedals like the Fairfield Four Eyes as this too.

if you're talking about true stereo as in 2 ins and outs that don't get mixed I'm sorry I commented and I don't know of any! For that situation I would think 2 separate pedals is better anyway?

why not just split your signal before dirt and then you can put any dirt pedals you want on each side? I used to do that and liked it a lot, but looking for stereo dirt in one box seems unnecessarily limiting.

I have an EHX L2ube that I use for this sometimes? It doesn’t get super dirty but it’s a pretty solid boost/preamp sorta deal and it’s stereo.

I've wanted one of those for so long.
It's weird that they're so rare an no one has traced one yet, either.

I hear the mixer out has extra scoop.

There is a guy (on reverb) doing this, I think he has different combinations available, here's the muff/bender
And then, of course, there's the mighty Incinerator

Strymon Deco? Probably not cool enough.
I know you're not allowed to mention this company here unless you are talking about the El Capistan.

The only time people talk about the Deco here is when they're selling one.

Elektron Analog Heat? Want but don't want to shell out for one.
