Maybe it's just me, but I prefer pedals that work.

Oh, but sometimes they don't work in the most
delightful ways!
My Tubeworks Tube Driver doesn't sound near as
cool since I had to "fix" it. It went for years
with a fantastic "broken" sound before it finally
quit altogether. Don't get me wrong; I like the
way it sounds now, but it was better before.
I accidently kicked my Electric Mistress pedal
once while I was playing, and it made this
incredible cascading filter sound. I liked the
sound so much that I started writing material
just to take advantage of what I knew would have
to be a temporary method. I would play a guitar
solo, keyboard line, whatever, then fly the track
through the Mistress, whacking the side of the
box in time with the rhythm.
Have you ever suddenly started getting a great
tone out of a pedal, then realized that what you
were hearing was the result of a dying battery? A
gent right here in Happy Hoosierland sells a
pedal called the Starve, which allows you to step
down the battery power in your pedals so you can
find those sweet spots and reproduce them in a
consistent manner over the long term.

the battery deal works fantastically on the boss
ds-1. The Starve sounds really cool, but might
be useless with digital.
Right now, I've been experimenting a lot with
broken speakers, I have a custom made Ampeg 15"
going through a fizzly polytone pre/poweramp that
I've been toying with.
Soon I'm gonna start supergluing foam to the
front of the speaker, maybe some staples too!
