Let me start with saying that <b> Great hands can save a LOT of pedals</b>...

Having said that:
Fuzz Pedals have a tendency to do this when the guitar player is inexperienced.
Boss Auto Wah (well any Auto wah for that matter)
Any Ring modulator

Ring modulators and auto wahs really give me a headache and kinda make me nauseous.

That would be most pedal for me. I am selective in what pedal I use these days.

Yeah Zoom. Or the new Boss CMOS Fuzz pedal, never played it, so I should play it before I commit to a real opinion, but the live demo that boss has is to die FROM, not FOR.

Ah, the forum needs more help to showcase boo-teeq snobbery. I cringe when I read the names of pedals that cost hundreds more than they should.

That's a good point peter. I cringe when I see a pedal going for hundreds of dollars.

Not fair, you just make the ones you want :-P I bet if Mark hadn't tried them and posted here, the Biyangs would have been panned hard.
