Talking pedal names

one thing is really certain...

Some pedal builders have a really vivid imagination.

Otherwise they wouldn't pick such hilarious names for their pedals!....

No offence intended, but pedals being mostly varieties of the same subject, it's kinda obvious that some try to imply a better product through a fancy-funny name...


Once again, i do not question the quality, tone or whatever each pedal offers.

It's just that some builders have gone too far!....


Let's see what sounds funnier to your ears_regardless of tone etc.

"Super Hard-On"

"Discombobulator"

"Reezafratrzitz" (or something, I never ge to even spell that!)

But I would expand a bit this topic by asking your opinion on the pedal maker with most common sense and fine taste in naming their products. I vote for Mike Fuller and Robert Keeley.
I think "Fulldrive", "Choralflange" and "Keeley Compressor" names are already trademarks on their own. They are just perfect, IMHO.

"Tonebone"?????

I love the pedal, the name is friggin lame though. Graphics are crappy too. I'd like to smack the guy who said "that's a winner man, print it up...".

Names I like,

Eternity: simply, could mean a lot of things
King of the Britains: you know what the pedal is by the name.
Super Hard On: you should play gigs with this one at church like I have LOL!

Tim - admit it, when you first heard of this pedal, the response was "wha...? the name of the pedal is 'Tim'????"

Understated and yet...perfect
