Rocktron Effects Pedals, anybody?
FYI, MF is blowing a bunch of them out ... Boost, Comp, Flange, Chorus,Short Timer ...the Cyborg delay and reverb are gone at the low price, but you may be able to snag one ...

The Short Timer is a good pedal. I hated the Pulse Tremolo, FWIW.
Good build quality overall, but the sound for most of the ones I've tried is a bit stale/generic/robotic/unnatural/etc.

There's an Austin Gold OD hiding under my big foot here:
 I've used the AG for years since I couldn't afford an Xotic AC or RC Booster. I'm real happy with it, and even had two for a while. Only "problem" is that you need to tighten the nut that holds the switch in place once in a while or it rocks itself a bit loose. I guy I used to play with borrowed it one night when he didn't have his pedal board with him. He liked it so much through a Dr. Z Maz NR that he offered a straight trade for his AC Booster....but I was nice and declined.

Quote:
The zip ties are good if you never switch pedals around. But you're forced to put the pedals in certain places based on the pedal size in relation to the holes, and where the ties cross the top of the pedal. For example, certain plugs won't work with the Barber because the tie is so close to the jack. But if I moved the tie up the the next hole on the board, the power jack is blocked. On the two Marshall pedals, the tie covers the labels for the knobs (which didn't bother me too much since I had been using those before I built the board and knew what was what). That means if I were to switch out a pedal for something new, I might have to rearrange several pedals to get things to fit and that becomes a bit of a pain with the ties. But no regrets on salvaging the leftover pegboard from the tool wall in the basement!

The Big Crush, IMO, is worthless.
