Wal-Mart distortion pedal??
Okay so this might belong on the "General Recording" board, but it's too hysterical to really merit any serious replies so I figured an off-topic post would work best.
I was at practice the other night and saw what was truly the most horrific looking pedal on the ground. It was made of bright orange plastic and looked like it wouldn't last more than a week of usage. There was no brand on it, but my drummer explained that it was purchased at Wal-Mart for $20.00. I didn't have enough time to play with it, but he said it sounds about as exciting as a Wal-Mart distortion would sound.
Anyone heard of this? Anyone tried one? Anyone (gasp) like them?

I hear it moves in and crowds all the other stomp boxes off your pedalboard. Be careful.

And yet people think that Aliens are so much more highly evolved. Maybe their ships are just URVs (unidentified recreational vechicles)? That really would be such a disappointment to me.A.L. wrote:I have fantasies where Aliens come and steal all the wallmarts.

Re: Wal-Mart distortion pedal??
I've seen this pedal at my local Wally World. I actually picked it up and considered buying it. Then I looked around and realized where I was. It was just too weird.
They've got some pretty sweet guitars at Walmart too. It's cool. Over the Holidays, I even saw some flutes and trumpets. Lovely.

They sell a talk box too, but it explodes if you curse into it.

You should see what happens when you shoot porn with one of their video cameras. It ends up on the shelves of blockbuster with all the good parts edited out.marqueemoon wrote:They sell a talk box too, but it explodes if you curse into it.

I had no idea my post would elicit such hysterical responses! Keep it going!
BTW, I'm going to check it out a little further at practice tonight. If it still works.
