The single most frustrating pedal floating around would have to be the Line 6 DL-4 delay/looper. Frustrating, because it's a great piece of gear hampered by a terrible breakdown record. For every good one there seem to be two bad ones...


Hi Andy,

I guess I'm lucky, because that's one of my favorite (and most used) pedals.

Bill Frisell uses one too - You're in good company. Some people have made a fortune repairing and modding these.

Cheers,
Andy

DOD pedals in general were pretty bad. Dead on Delivery.

My least favourite pedal (for bass anyway) has to be the Octaver.

Everybody on the bass forum I'm a member of loves them & they're pretty much regarded as an essential item on a bass players pedalboard but I HATE the things.

I've never heard one that I didn't think sounded absolutely terrible.

The mark bass synth pedal. It lies about the no latency and it only has one synth waveform! Sucks cause it is so close to being great. And the software editing sucks really bad, its the only bad markbass product I tell you. Their amps are sick. I returned the pedal(can you tell haha)

Ibanez Weeping Demon Wah. I bought it after I was basically suckered into buying it from a very cunning salesman. It was OK; it's not that it's a bad pedal, it was just very disappointing.

The contour controls really made no difference in sound, the set up was very bulky and didn't play nice on my pedal board, the initial volume boost it gave to the sound also didn't play well with my board as well (the volume boost pretty much rendered my Smart Gate pointless and would eventually just flat out fry it a year later). The box and name, however, were pretty metal.
