When I was gigging I had a chorus, fuzz, flanger, delay, and wah wah pedal. All of them were DOD or MXR and they were built like tanks and quite expensive.

When Circuit City went under I bought an off brand chorus, flanger and delay pedal from them for $15 each. They sounded pretty much the same as the expensive pedals but they were all made of plastic and not metal like the DODs and MXRs. So I think for casual home use inexpensive off-brand pedals should be OK. YMMV

PS - I still have all of those pedals stored in my shed. If you want the name of the above off brand I can get that information for you, however they may have been a store brand for Circuit City, don't remember.


Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.
