Members solewheelin Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 Some people do it right with these names of greek or egyptian gods.Other names are obviously just trying to be clever and wind up sounding pretentious. Like "Organizer" and "Brigadier".Many of the names also just have this marketing stench to them like "Ola".What happened to more descriptive, suggestive names like Big Muff, Super Fuzz, Tonebender, Flying Tomato, Super hard on, Tube screamer, Holy Grail, Swollen Pickle and Electric Mistress? Now we have names like "Big grey distortion"..but my least favorite of all has to be "Mojo mojo". It's sickening I tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Urinate Forever Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 lol mojomojo really pisses me off for some reason. I think it's because it sounds ridiculous when you say it out loud. They should've just named it Mojo Jojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Mojo Mojo is pretty lame... but I really don't have an issue with most of the other pedals you named. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Urinate Forever Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 I hate all of skreddy's pink floyd themed pedal names. There's a million of them and they all sound the same to me. That's the only reason I never think of skreddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WBigsby Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 oh, and the FUHO gas begins! I'll be gooping it and naming mine the "{censored} You Anne Frank Distortion". How about the Philosopher's Tone? Whyever that's always bothered me. Dano with the food themed bucket. Way Huge crosses the line. Mike's Salty Romance Explosion (dwarfcraft). I take it back, that one is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally realized like a week ago that it was Philosopher's Tone and not Philosopher's Stone. To be fair I don't like compressors so i never paid attention.
