Use before a dirt pedal and it makes solos thicker.
I have stated that there are more bad sounding suhrs then there are good ones.

+1, I did this not only to this pedal but also some chorus pedals like FLANGER, VIBE, BOSS CE-2 (clone nga lang).

Yeah! It makes the dirt sound more subtle than IT(dirt) being on the background of you modulation pedal.

I think some modulation pedals needs to be before dirt.(IMO)

EHX Metal Muff. Sounds like a chainsaw, and no decent lead tone whatsoever. Don't even get me started on its boost mode :-) But if you're into those 'raw' (official Internet Metal Nerd-approved euphemism for low budget, delinquent, sloppy) black metal bands a.k.a. "war metal" :money: , then this is the pedal for you..

Good thing it was sold to me by my neighbor for dirt cheap. Put it up for sale immediately for a good profit hehe.

Metal Worker (I forgot the brand) is the worst pedal I ever owned. Weak and sterile.

mxr phase 90, still on my board..found a way to use the ugly sound i get from it

the only thing wrong i see from it is that it is terrible when play it with distortion. clean tone, it is the template of a phaser.

-*-

DOD Attacker. its a dirt pedal and a compressor in one. that alone is a terrible concept ... and it sounds worse than turning on a random tube screamer clone and a random ross compressor.

i think DOD pedals are toys, not musician tools. it is no surprise they went out of business

Eric Clapton Crossroads by Digitech - bought it for the love of Slowhand, but no usable settings  :-(

Wasn't the Leslie / Badge setting said to be quite good? I guess one good setting is not enough to keep a pedal that's supposed to have 5 great tones!

I wouldn't mind buying this if it was dirt cheap - like P2k - just to fiddle with at home...

Ugh. Giant waste of money. The tube isn't even plugged in, apparently.
