Pedals with weird sounds

[Mr. Air]

I've always been fond of guitar pedals that represent some weird or unconventional sounds. My pedal knowledge isn't that big though so hopefully some of you pedal heads from the BKP forums will share your knowledge of some interesting pedals.

Hit me!!!  :D

Moogerfooger MuRF, I $%&#ing love mine and lose hours to it each time I play with it.

I don't know much about pedals either, but the Lovetone Meatball always sounded fascinating:

Again, I might have this wrong but I think it'd cost an arm and a leg to buy one nowadays, if you could find one.

Take a look at Pignotrix and Electro Harmonix. They do weird stuff, like the Mothership analog synthesizers/ring modulator, two types of Envelop phasers, Philosopher King (compressor, sustainer, distortion and polyfonic amplitude synthesizer) and The Echolution (all kinds of delays in one package). The Electric Harmonix POGII (polyphonic octave generator) will do organ sounds without hearing your guitar. Wowwww.

Are you bringing it to the meet? I'd always thought of getting one someday but never got to try one out.

I'll bring it if you want a fiddle.

Worth going to the homewrecker link and checking out the Uglyface (Elunium) if you like noise generators. That thing is insane!

Affordable, cool and many weird sounds: Digitech X-Series Synth Wah.

This Robotalk is a funky tool. I can however make the same kind of sounds with my Emma Discumbolator, which is one of the best envelopefilters I tried. The Boss Phaseshifter 3 can do some of this arpeggio-stuff too in the rise/fall-mode. But, this Robotalk sounds extremely good and clear. Gotta think which pedal I'm gonna throw out of my case..

An easy one is to build a feedback box, basically a true bypass box that can feed the input back through the box via a variable resistor.  Then all your pedals can make crazy sounds by just twiddling the knobs....

Another one is the Sequenced LFO in the Wahzoo:

EH Tube Zipper: a tube overdrive and envloper for all your sci-fi laser sounds.

Danelectro Shift Daddy: Echo pitch shifter. Analog delay in a wah-like pedal where the treadle is the time control.

Death By Audio: Chainsaws and more

Any analog echo/delay unit is perfect for replicating the sound of a UFO's propulsion system.
