Favorite OTT effects

hugbot

I've realised recently I'm not really a fun of "subtle" effects. Too many times I've taken something to a gig, stepped on it and thought "that made so little appreciable difference to this show I may not have bothered"

So I want to hear about your favorite stupid, obnoxious and head turning effects.

Personally I'm a fan of line 6s frequency shift which you can hear at the start here  (might be the ring mod actually) I used to use it in my old band for shrieking muse-type solos.

Pretty much most of mine…

ZVex Fuzz Factory - inoffensive-looking box, such sonic mayhem!

DOD FX25 Envelope Filter - the resonant boom when the filter frequency turns round at the bottom end is great.

Boss Distortion-Feedbacker - feedback, drones, ring-modulator noises…

Boss Octaver - fat monosynth lead tones and Dr. Who noises, hazardous to weaker amps and speakers.

Frantone Cream Puff - pretty and pink, and about as girly as an angry female elephant.

Boss DM-2 Delay- self-oscillation generator you can play solos with.

Boss BF-2 Flanger - jet plane noises, sitar sounds, seasickness.

Sadly I sold my rackmount resonant filter as it was too tricky to use well live and also had a tendency to try to destroy speakers. It did make my guitar sound wonderfully like a trance keyboard part though.

I'd love a Meatball.

I need an m5 with expression pedal - that tremolo effect is what I want!

Also, 3:52 - tremolo with a stepped wah.  YES!

EHX B9 just for the people trying to work out who's playing the organ.

The Boss BF-2 also does a fabulous steel drum impression.
