Dumb names for future boutique pedals
Thought we might have some fun out of this since we're dunking on pedals lately. The point of this thread is coming up with dumb names/configurations of pedals for the oversaturated boutique market.
I'll start --
The Spin Doctors start their own Reverb shop and begin offering a pair of pedals:
The Two Princes Drive -- A King of Tone clone. One side says "That's what I said now", the other side says "Just go ahead now."
'Little Electric Mistress Can't be Wrong' -- Flanger

And you find out life isn't like that

Re: Dumb names for future boutique pedals
This is great! My girls and I watch Bob's Burgers, and absolutely love all the ridiculous puns!
My favorite for pedals has always been all the variations for the Klon circuit, my favorite being IdiotBox Effect's Han-taun, with a picture of Han Solo with the legs of a Tauntaun on Hoth
How about a RAT-type named "R.O.U.S." (Rodent Of Unusual Size)?
Or if Perry Bible Fellowship made a delay called the "Cave Explorer" with the picture of the kid's face in the last panel as the pedal art:

Re: Dumb names for future boutique pedals
The Cure gets a signature pedal, it's just a BF-2 into a Boss Delay.
It's called the "Disintegrator" and has a smeared lipstick paint job.
$400.
Or you can get the deluxe one, an analog delay with no time knob, it's hardwired to "Seventeen Seconds", per the name. Comes with a tab of LSD and a Camus quote etched on the board.
$500

You send me $400, I'll duct tape together a couple of Boss pedals and make out with them for you.Jazzmastervsjaguar wrote: ↑Tue Sep 13, 2022 4:56 amHonestly...Take y money nowMrShake wrote: ↑Tue Sep 13, 2022 4:32 amThe Cure gets a signature pedal, it's just a BF-2 into a Boss Delay.

And following the trend of companies getting it a little wrong, Vertex releases the "Slowdive", an OC-3 octave down into a Slow Gear/swell type thing.
And they're just rehoused Behringers.
$379.99

Tom Waits inspired delay - the Waits for it.
I used to be cool, now I just complain about prices.

Actually laughed out loud in my office, someone poked their head in to ask what was so funny...

Re: Dumb names for future boutique pedals
When I built pedals years ago I had a few ideas that never happened:
1) the Moustache Ride: a Fuzz Face - Big Muff combo pedal. Basically a Fuzz Face with a Big Muff tone stack and extra gain stage. One stomp for bypass and one for switching between Face and Muff.
2) the Uniclone: a Klon clone with rainbow barfing Unicorn graphics.
3) the Pie in the Sky: a Big Muff after one of those reverb bricks everyone was using to DIY reverb pedals a few years ago. For that fake shoegaze fuzz after reverb sound all the bedroom shoegazers wanted.
4)the TOFU: a Transistorized Octave Fuzz Unit

If you added some AUTOWAH stuff to the tofu it could be the TOFU SCRAMBLER.fuzzjunkie wrote: ↑Tue Sep 13, 2022 7:18 amWhen I built pedals years ago I had a few ideas that never happened:

Double pedal. One side is a jar with a really angry wasp in it and a cheap contact mic, the other side is another wasp just slightly out of sync for a chorus effect.
