Iâm a fan of things that fit those qualifications in general, pedals especially.
Off the top of my head, and only including stuff I currently have but excluding straight clones (as that might blur the definition):
On my main board right now I have a couple;
-The joyo analog delay from the âclassicâ series. I own a few of them. Stupid cheap and they sound fantastic.
-EHX eddy. Great analog vibrato that can get bizarre. Seems overlooked and I wouldnât consider ehx boutique by any means even though they sometimes have that vibe.
-Hotone harmony. Digital pitch shifting kinda has a sound but this one seems a little better than most Iâve tried. The impressive thing is that it tracks so well. Best Iâve used.
Also laying around that I can think of;
-Danelectro fab metal. Itâs not a metal pedal. Itâs a lot like the dod grunge except you can find them for $10. Speaking ofâŚ
- dod grunge. Itâs always been considered a crappy beginners pedal but itâs legit when used well. If it had a different name it would probably be more highly regarded.

Same goes for the DOD Death Metal.

One of my favorites. Iâve had one since new. I would have put it on my list but I thought they were well regarded. Maybe Iâm wrong?

Found some videos by Tomo Fujita featuring the nylon string version of the Enya NEXG carbon fiber guitar with built-in speaker, FX and looper. But he doesnât really use the tech features.
I eventually found some review videos like this one which gets more into the features and accessories, likes and dislikes, etc⌠I think I might go for the steel string version. I like that it can be used as a Bluetooth speaker even when itâs not being played as a guitar.

looking to build back a setup again (after clearing house a few years ago). first step is finding a preamp! pretty daunting to navigate the gear waters out there ⌠but I picked up this LR Baggs locally on a great deal and actually digging how it plays with electric (I play folky funk stuff 
)

Picked up a Boss OD3 recently, donât see a lot of buzz around them but theyâre really excellent⌠then again I just love Boss stuff in general!

Quite a few but would probably go with the Keeley Aurora reverb. It doesnât do the big infinite thing but it just produces lovely usable reverbs for both guitar and synths, absolutely love that pedal!

Interesting! Iâm doing a music project with a guy that is using a Keeley Caverns and his stuff sounds amazing (although to be fair he is an amazing guitarist). I never think of Keeley for reverbs, but looks like they have some sleepers.

Anyone have any experience making a setup around a hybrid guitar? (Parkwood H2 with electric and piezo bridge pickups, split-able via a TRS cable)
I treat the guitar like one sound, mixing the acoustic and electric sides for different tones & timbres ⌠but I need to split the signal b/c the electric side is begging for a preamp - currently thinking to sum them back up afterwards
Sounds similar to the problem which occurs when you try to use both a passive and an active electric pickup in the same guitar, I looked into it for a while and concluded it was either A) a little costly or B) a little bit of a headache to get reasonable results.
Hereâs an interesting article that I was referencing
Seymour Duncan Active and Passive Pickups in One Guitar â Can It Be Done?
while this is not 100% the same as what you want, some of the solutions may be relevant.
I also discovered a product that a guy makes called âthe redeemerâ which is like a buffer that you install into the output jack to bring up your signal level pre-output, when I talked to him he had set up something custom for someone wanting to use both active and passive in the same guitar and it had like 3 of these redeemer signal buffers in circuit.
It buffered the signal of each pickup and used a trim pot for each so you could level the signal between them, then it had a final output buffer under the jack plate. This was pretty ideal but it was close to 200 bucks for a little circuit board and 3 buffers so with the cost of pickups I just decided it wasnât worth the overall price.
However, while the first article discusses what youâre talking about which is splitting the signal, the second product levels everything internally so if you were blending (ex - with a blend pot) or using a middle position on a pickup selector, the pickups would already be at equal volume.
Like I said, this isnât precisely what you want but the fundamentals are similar and you might be able to build, or alternatively purchase something similar if youâre willing to spend whatever it costs these days.
I think he quoted me 160 plus shipping, I know the redeemer is still being sold and I donât know if he still has the circuit which incorporates three but if you offer people money usually they make things happen.

Such a great pedal that nobody ever paid attention to. Reminded me of the 1/2 space dbx units (163x I think). I probably have too many comp pedals these days but I wish I still had my milk box.

New pedal day. I got my first good tuner. Peterson Strobo Stomp HD. Seems very cool so far, not something I think when I think tuners.

Received an HOG2 and Strymon Iridium. Both deceiving.
May go back to HX STOMP (eventually XL).
How does it sound ?

For the Iridium, make sure you understand the EQ as it works totally different for all three models. The Vox model is particularly confusing. I see a lot of people setting that at noon on YouTube, which is actually cutting the mids.
Also experiment with the different sized room reverb. Itâs a sub function, you need to check the manual.

Wowser - looks a beast !!
Ive been acoustic-less for many years and randomly just bought a Martin 00015SM after reading reviews and generally loving YouTube videos of it. Will be some time before in stock and in my hands though
