What's your favorite weird guitar pedal?

I'm expanding the rig and looking for something a little different. Maybe even something that sounds like absolute shit. Any out-of-this-world pedals coming to mind?

Google searching afforded me some hilarious results. When my budget permits I will most definitely be acquiring a Scrotum Smasher. http://www.umop.com/tm7.htm

Show me your favorites!

I built a Gristleizer a few years back. Ended up giving it to a co-worker into industrial stuff. I'm pretty sure I have another PCB if you want to build one.

That's about as weird as I've ever gotten, though I do have an almost fully populated board set for a Ludwig Phase II clone that I'll probably never get the energy to finish. The wiring is, ummm, challenging.

I use a Heil Talkbox - it's a lot of fun to mess with.

I like the Wilson Effects "Haze." It's a Uni-Vibe clone and adds a touch of psychedelia to your music.

I once had a Memory Man by EHX that only did warbled radio sounds. That was weird....

I like my Shaky Jimi pedal. It's an oddball I got for some Trey-ish Uni-Vibe sounds and it does do a pretty good job with that, but with an annoying volume drop when it kicks in. (Some pre-planning and quick knob twiddling does make it work on the fly.) It also has a "chorus" mode that sounds more like my Phase 100 than a chorus. I've used it as a phaser on Dear Prudence, etc. when I was trying to save board space and it sound good--not on the money, but okay enough. Oddly enough, there is no volume drop in this mode.

Has to be the Moog MURF filter. The Sub-Decay Prometheus yields hours of entertainment as well.
