nic	Re: Opinions: most over-rated effects The only pedal has been mentioned here so far is the screamer! And when I think about it the only pedal that comes to mind is the tubescreamer. I use mine 90% of the time. This is what makes it overrated to me. The tone is fine if I want a bit more edge I feed it through an MXR Distortion +. This has to be history's third most overrated box after the screamer then the big muff. I get the impression the Shakka 3 sounds like a screamer>MXR. I will check out the audio samples tonight. I wonder if it draws alot of current? nic
